When the music stops, the person holding the cushion has to choose between a truth and a dare. Depending on what she chooses, a question is asked or a dare is posed. The person needs to perform the task assigned or give a truthful answer to the question posed. Try and think of as many embarrassing questions as you can and dares that will truly push the envelope.

Jinxed Words
