Never Have I Ever
There are several online versions of this popular drinking Never Have I Ever to choose from. We have tried a few and here is what I thought of them.
Never Ever Drinking & Sex Game
Looking at the title of this game its odd to understand why the sexy part comes with the paid portion of the app and not free!
But It’s a very easy game and can be played by 2 people.

Paid categories
- Hot – Naughty section
- No Mercy
Tap your chosen category
Take it in turns to answer the question with either Never – or I have
What we liked was that it is so basic and simple. Claire and I can head down to the local pub and play it from our phones, have a great drink and a laugh without disturbing anyone…
Not sure we would pay for the additional categories. We will decide when we have gone through every question!
