About Double Dare

Double Dare adapts the structure of its television counterpart, a trivia-based game show featuring host Marc Summers. The core decision for players involves choosing between answering a question or attempting a dare.

Dares are categorized into distinct types, including Toss-up and Physical Challenges, with a final Obstacle Course round. The trivia component offers a fair variety, with a sufficient question pool to minimize repetition across multiple play sessions.
