Truth Bombs by Dan & Phil

Truth Bombs is a party game created by YouTube stars Dan Howell and Phil Lester. Each player will get the chance to answer questions about every other player, then when the filled card is passed back to you, it’s your turn to try and work out who said what!

To play the game, question cards are laid out on coloured mats. Each player has a card where the answers to the questions will be written. They pass this card around and each of the other players will take it in turns to answer a question on every players card. The questions include things like

• “If they were on the date from hell, how would they get out of it?”
• “How do they ‘really’ spend their weekends?”

It’s your job to come up with a funny and creative answer! Once the cards are full they are returned to their original owner. Then the target player and owner of the card gets to pick their favourite answer and guess who wrote it. If they guess correctly, both the target player and the one who wrote it get a point. If they guess wrong, the player who gave the favourite answer comes forward and gets a point.

From my own experience of this game I think it’s a great party game which leads to revelations of embarrassing secrets and funny stories about your friends. Your imagination can run wild with answers to hilarious questions that will be sure to make everyone laugh out loud when it comes to reading out the answers! Another great thing about it is it’s not complicated either, the rules are short and easy to understand, a couple of minutes and your ready to play, not like some other games which take a while to get the hang of.

The amount of rounds you want to play is completely up to you, so the game can be as short or long as you want, which is great for a lazy Sunday afternoon in the house or a quick game before tea. Another great thing about Truth Bombs is that each time you play, it will be different. Not like some other board games which are predictable after you’ve played a few times, with Truth Bombs each game is going to be completely different and with 140 questions you’ve got plenty of variety to answer!

There’s a mix of questions including: “if they could taste of something what would they taste like? ” or “If they were a god, what would they be the God of?” The questions have a great span of themes too from movie references to food, so the game is suitable for a variety of ages.

Closing Comments

As I said at the beginning of this review, Truth Bombs is sure to end in laughter….and maybe a few arguments when you find out which of your friends said you were terrible at sports or wouldn’t survive a zombie apocalypse!

Overall, the game is great to play with family and friends and is a great laugh and because of how fun and hilarious the game is, I will give it a 4/5 on the Fun-O-Meter!
