Never Have I Ever

Description:
"Never Have I Ever" is a fun, active game in which participants gather in a circle with one individual positioned centrally.

Rules:

  1. To start the game, the person in the middle announces a 'Never have I ever...' statement (e.g., "Never have I Ever Traveled to Europe").
  2. Upon the announcement, everyone who has fulfilled the statement is required to leave their seat and find a new one. This includes the person who made the statement from the middle.
    Note: Seat hopping, or the act of switching to an adjacent seat, is strictly prohibited.
  3. The game resumes with a new player in the middle when everyone has settled down in new seats. It is possible for the same person to remain in the middle if they're unable to secure a chair in time.
  4. These steps are repeated for as long as players wish to continue the game.

Optional adjustments to these rules or adding stakes to the game are encouraged to keep the game exciting.
