Never Have I Ever
Thirty-six statements and a counter. Draw one, find out how many people in the room have actually done it, and watch the running log build up.
Skipping is always allowed. Nobody has to answer anything or do anything they would rather not. Passing on a turn is part of the game, not a forfeit, and there is no scoring that punishes it.
The tally lives in the page and clears when you close the tab.
The running log
What this tool does
A statement generator with a scorekeeper attached. The tool draws a never-have-I-ever statement, then asks how many people in the room have actually done it. Tap a number, and the statement and its count go into a running log so the group can see the pattern accumulate over an evening.
The honest limitations are about what the tally is. It is not a survey and it is not anonymous — it is a count of hands in one room, and it means nothing outside it. It also cannot verify anything, and it would not want to: the game works because people answer honestly, and a tool that pressed for proof would ruin it. Finally, the counts live in memory only. Nothing is written to the device, so a shared tablet does not end up holding a record of what everyone admitted to.
How to use it
- Pick a deck. The clean deck is everyday embarrassments; the bolder deck is mild social confessions. Both are safe for a general room.
- Press Draw a statement and read it out loud.
- Ask how many people have done it, and tap the matching number. The statement joins the running log with its count.
- Draw again. Re-drawing a statement you have already counted restores its tally rather than resetting it, so nothing is lost.
Common use cases
-
A group of old friends
The log gets genuinely interesting when you have known each other long enough for the counts to be high.
-
Meeting new people
The clean deck is entirely everyday stuff, which is a low-stakes way to find common ground.
-
A family evening
The clean deck has nothing in it that would be awkward across generations.
-
A long car journey
Play it without the counting if you are driving — the statements work as conversation prompts on their own.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the tally?
It stays in the page and is gone when you close the tab. Nothing is written to the device, which matters if you are playing on a shared tablet or a family computer.
Is this anonymous?
No, and it does not pretend to be. The tally is a count of hands in the room, not a survey. It means nothing outside the people you are playing with.
Are the statements safe for any room?
The clean deck is. The bolder deck is mild social embarrassment rather than anything revealing, with nothing sexual, illegal or about anybody’s body. Both skip the group-targeting material entirely.
Do I have to answer?
No. Skipping a statement is always allowed and nothing here counts it against you. The tool never asks who specifically has done something — only how many, and only if people choose to say.
