There are dozens of party games that are based around deception and deceit, but Truth Bombs is a new one that takes a refreshing approach that is entirely centered around honesty.
In the first-ever board game created with YouTube influencers, Big Potato promises "funny facts, awkward admissions and random revelations that'll cause explosions of laughter." A group of four to eight players are challenged to answer Question Sheets about their fellow players and wait for answers that are potentially hilarious, or surprising, to be revealed.
Like Truth Bombs, there are a number of emerging new social games that have been created specifically for the purpose of strengthening the bonds between players—especially if it means one must embrace vulnerability and the possibility that uncomfortable truths may be unearthed in the process.
