Rules
- Each player holds up 10 fingers (or 5 for a quicker game).
- Read the statement out loud.
- If you have done it, put one finger down. Share the story if you like!
- The last player with fingers up wins.
Variations
- Make your own: each player takes a turn inventing a statement about something they have never done.
- Story time: anyone who puts a finger down must tell the story in 30 seconds.
- Teams: split into two teams and count total fingers.
Keep the party going with truth or dare, would you rather or this or that.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play Never Have I Ever?
Everyone holds up ten fingers. Someone reads a statement starting with "Never have I ever…". Anyone who HAS done it puts a finger down. The last person with fingers still up wins.
Are these statements clean?
Yes. The "Clean & family" list works for all ages, the teen list is about school and everyday mischief, and the work list suits office parties and team building. There is nothing explicit.
Can we play without fingers?
Sure. Keep score on paper, use candies or tokens, or simply raise a hand if you have done it and share the story.
Is it good for team building?
Yes. Choose the "At work" list for light, safe statements that help colleagues learn fun facts about each other.
How do I avoid repeats?
The generator deals statements like a shuffled deck, so you won't see a repeat until the whole category has been used.
