How to Play Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a party game where players take turns making statements about things they have never done. Anyone who HAS done the thing must acknowledge it — and in drinking game versions, take a sip. The original version requires creative prompt generation, which is where games slow down and people repeat themselves.
The wheel solves the blank-mind problem. Instead of everyone trying to think of interesting prompts on the spot, the wheel generates them randomly. This keeps the game moving and surfaces prompts that nobody would think to say out loud unprompted.
Customize the wheel with prompts you know will land well for your specific group. Generic prompts work, but prompts built around shared history create better moments.
Prompt Ideas by Occasion

College / Adult Friends

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play Never Have I Ever with a wheel?
Spin the wheel to get a prompt. Everyone who HAS done it raises their hand (or takes a sip, depending on your rules). Everyone who hasn't done it keeps their hand down. Go around a few times. The person who has done the most things 'wins' — or loses, depending on perspective.
Is this appropriate for kids?
The pre-loaded prompts are mild and family-appropriate. You can further edit them to remove anything that doesn't fit your group. Add kid-friendly versions like 'Never have I ever stayed up past midnight' or 'Never have I ever eaten a whole pizza'.
How many prompts should I put on the wheel?
10-15 is ideal. Enough variety for a full game session without running out of questions, but not so many that the same prompt never comes up twice and tension never builds.
