150 never have I ever questions: funny, clean and a little deep

Never have I ever is a simple game: someone says “Never have I ever…” followed by something they have not done, and anyone who has done it admits it. The fun is in the stories that follow.

Every question below is clean, so the list works with friends, family, colleagues or a stranger in a random chat. Explicit versions are easy to find elsewhere; on RandomHey our community guidelines do not allow sexual content anyway.

How to play by text or video

• In a group: everyone starts with five points (or fingers). Lose one each time you have done the thing. Last one standing wins.
• With one other person: take turns. After each “I have”, the other person gets one follow-up question.
• Keep it light: anyone can skip a question, no explanation needed.
