Then head out to your dinner spot. On the drive, you'll play Truth, Dare & Chocolate. Tap Next to set it up.
In the car
Truth, Dare & Chocolate
Open your M&Ms. Your spouse picks one and eats it. Tap that color to see their Truth or Dare. Take turns until the bag is empty. Each color has new prompts every time it comes up.
Red, orange, yellow = TruthBlue, green, brown = Dare
Pick a color
No M&Ms? Have your spouse call out a number from 1 to 6, or roll one here.
Driver safety: whoever is driving answers Truths only. Save the driver's Dares for when you're parked.
