70 Never Have I Ever Questions for Your Hen Party

If there's one game guaranteed to turn a group of strangers into a hen party squad, it's Never Have I Ever. A few questions in, the secrets start spilling, the stories get bigger and everyone suddenly knows far more about each other than they did at the start of the night.

We've rounded up 70 Never Have I Ever questions for your hen party, from gentle icebreakers that work with the whole group (mums included) to a few cheekier ones for later on. Pick and mix to suit your crowd.

How to play Never Have I Ever

1. Sit in a circle. Everyone holds up ten fingers, or has a drink in hand.
2. Take turns. One person reads out a "Never have I ever…" statement.
3. Own up. Anyone who has done it puts a finger down or takes a sip. Bonus points for telling the story.
4. Last one standing wins. The first person with no fingers left takes a forfeit, or crowns the winner.

Hen party twist: make every third question about the bride, and the hens have to guess whether she'll put a finger down before she answers.

Tips for a brilliant game

• Read the room. Start with the icebreakers and only move to the cheeky round if the whole group is up for it.
• Not everyone drinks. Fingers work just as well as sips, and alcohol-free fizz keeps everyone included.
• Keep the bride at the centre. Mixing in questions about her keeps the focus on the guest of honour.
• Let the stories flow. The best part isn't who puts a finger down, it's the story that comes after.
