Remember playing "Truth or Dare" when you were kids? Or maybe you even still play it now. Well, this is the Writing.com version, but we play it survivor style. We start with a fixed number of contestants who must complete a series of truths or dares. If the player cannot or will not complete either, he or she is eliminated. The last player standing wins!



The contest begins with 10 contestants. If you'd like to be a contestant, simply email me. Once our starting 10 are assembled the games will begin.

A Truth Challenge and a Dare Challenge will be posted in the forum below. Contestants will then have three days (72 hours) to successfully complete either the Truth Challenge or the Dare Challenge. They may choose one or the other, or both if they so wish.

If a contestant completes either of the challenges, he or she will advance to the next round. If a contestant completes neither of the challenges, he or she is eliminated from the competition.

Challenges will get progressively difficult each round.

Each challenge answered will be scored by a judge. The scoring will be based on honesty, humor, interest, writing, storytelling, and entertainment value. These scores will be kept private and only used to break ties.

The contest will continue until one contestant remains or until the tenth round completes, whichever comes first.

When the contest completes, players will be ranked and awarded prizes. The ranking will be based on the order in which they were eliminated. Scores from all previous rounds will be used to break ties. So, for example, if at the end of 10 rounds, three players still remain, scores will be used to rank these players first to third.



Truth Challenge:
Truth challenges generally ask a question that you must answer with complete honesty. These questions are often of a more private nature and require varying amounts of courage to answer truthfully. All responses to Truth challenges must be posted in the forum below with the message title "Truth." The message post may contain the answer to the Truth question or may link to an item or journal entry that answers the question. The answer to the Truth Challenge should be at least 100 words.

Dare Challenge:
Dare Challenges are more explicit in their instructions. They will tell you, in detail, what you most do. Typically they involve performing a certain task that you would likely avoid doing otherwise. They might encompass any dare associated with Writing.com or the real world. In most cases you'll be asked to write about or photograph your completion of the challenge. In other cases we'll rely on the honor system. In either case, however, the instructions will be explicit.

Remember that in case of a tie, your Truth and Dare responses are being judged, so be aware of that when writing your responses.
