How to play

  1. 1

    Turn order. Pick a player to start; proceed clockwise.

  2. 2

    Statement set. On their turn, the player says three short statements about themselves — two true and one false.

  3. 3

    Discussion & Vote. The group may ask brief clarifying questions (optional) and then votes on which statement they think is the lie.

  4. 4

    Scoring. Players who correctly identify the lie score a point; alternatively award points to the speaker for successfully fooling the group.

  5. 5

    Variants. Make themed rounds (work, travel, childhood) to spark ideas.
