GETTING STARTED

After inserting the batteries, press the
On/Game button. Dare Ya! will ask you to
choose a game: Truth, Dare, Double Dare or
Fortune Teller. Toggle through the Press
Play/Enter button to select a choice.

FORTUNE TELLER - Fortune Teller lets
you ask a question, either outloud or to
yourself, then spin the handle. The blue
dome will display the following answers
to your question.

• YES - Definitely, You Bet or Sure.

• MAYBE - Don’t Know, Whatever, or
Who Knows.

• NO - No Way, Not likely, or Dream on.

TRUTH, DARE, DOUBLE DARE - The
game is simple and for the most part, you
make up your own rules, however there
are some simple steps you have to follow
to get started.

PLAYING TRUTH OR DARE

1. At the beginning of each truth or dare
game, it will prompt you to record a
double dare or spin. You can either spin
to play or record your double dares.

2. Press and hold the Record button to
record the double dares. Release the
button when you have finished. There
are four double dares in total that will

play randomly throughout the game.
Record any double dare you want. If
you don’t want anyone to hear your
double dare, record it in another place
to be completely secretive.

3. Randomly choose which person goes
first. Maybe choose the oldest girl or
the youngest girl. Spin the handle and

watch the lights in the cool blue dome
display whether it is a Give, Take, Give

or Take, then the color of categories,
wild, or Double Dare, then Truth, Dare
or Truth or Dare.

GAME POSSIBILITIES:

Give: Means you give the truth, dare or double

dare.

Take: Means you take the truth, dare, or
double dare.

Give or Take: Means you choose to give
or take the truth, dare or double dare.

Truth: You only say the truth.

Dare: You do the dare.

Truth or Dare: You choose to take the

truth or dare.

Wild: Means you pick a truth or dare from
any category.

4. The arrow will randomly point at
someone. The arrow determines who
has to give or
take.

5. Let’s pretend
you’ve spun
the handle
and the lights
on the dome
say “Give,
Pink, Truth”.
The person at
which the
ARROW
pointed, picks up a card and gives the
Pink Truth to any player. When the
player answers the truth and the rest of
the group thinks she is telling the truth

- she gets a pink chip. If, the group
decides she is not telling the truth, she
has to do the TRUTH DETECTOR. She
presses her thumb on the TRUTH
DETECTOR for a few seconds and then
lets go. The TRUTH DETECTOR will
respond with a sound effect either Yes,
No or Maybe. The yes sound effect
“Dun, Dun Da” means the girl is telling
the truth. The no sound effect “Dunt”
means the girl is not telling the truth.
The maybe sound effect “Ba da dump”,
means the girl is maybe telling the
truth.

If it says the player fibbed, no chip is
awarded. If the TRUTH DETECTOR says
she is telling the truth, she gets the pink
chip, if not, she does not get a pink chip.
Of course, it is up to the players to
decide.

Some examples of game flow options -

just to list!
