Put a Finger Down: 140+ Questions for your parties

April 28, 2025 Friends playing the Put a Finger Down game

Okay, you've probably heard of the game "Put a Finger Down," right? That super simple thing that totally gets the party going. It's the perfect kind of game when you want to break the ice or just have a good time finding out your friends' little secrets (the ones they may or may not want to admit!).

How to Play

The idea is dead simple: everyone starts with, say, 10 fingers up (or 5 if you want a quicker game, totally your call!). Taking turns, or having one designated person, someone reads a sentence starting with "Put a finger down if...". For example, "Put a finger down if you've ever laughed at a moment when you absolutely shouldn't have." If that's happened to you, boom, you put a finger down. The last one with fingers still up wins... Okay, let's be real, the main goal is just to laugh and learn stuff about everyone else.

What's cool is that you can tweak the rules. Some people add dares for those who put a finger down, others do themed rounds... Basically, you can customize it to perfectly fit your group.

Alright, enough talk, here's some fuel for your next game night!

Tips for an Awesome Game

To make sure your "Put a Finger Down" game is a real hit, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

Vibes are key: Put on some chill music (not too loud so you can hear each other), have some snacks and drinks ready. The more relaxed the atmosphere, the more people will open up.
Good vibes only: Remind everyone at the start that it's just a game! The goal is to have fun, not to judge or make anyone uncomfortable. If a question feels off, just skip it, no big deal. Everyone's free to not answer or not put a finger down, even if it's "true." Honesty is great, but everyone's comfort comes first.
Tailor the questions: Don't hesitate to adapt the questions to your group. If you're with long-time friends, you can probably go deeper than if you're with people you just met. And if a question on the list doesn't vibe with you, skip it or change it!
Keep the pace up: Try not to spend 10 minutes on every single question. The game feels more energetic if it moves fairly quickly. Of course, if a question sparks a hilarious story, let it happen! It's all about finding the right balance.
(Optional) Drinks or no drinks? The game works great totally sober, but if you decide to drink, do it responsibly. The goal is to actually remember the fun night the next day, right? 😉

There you go, with all this, you're all set to host some memorable "Put a Finger Down" nights. It's simple, effective, and always creates good times. So, ready to start the next round?
