Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Give everyone a moment to think of three believable statements.
- Choose a player to share all three statements in any order.
- Allow one brief follow-up question if the group wants it.
- Everyone votes for the statement they think is false.
- Reveal the lie, then rotate to the next player.
A few ground rules
Each player shares exactly three statements: two true and one false. Keep statements appropriate for the group. Players may pass on follow-up questions or skip their turn. Do not use private or embarrassing information.
Mix it up
Try a speed round with no questions, team voting, or themed rounds such as travel, food or childhood.
Make it a great round
Surprising truths and a plausible lie work better than obviously absurd statements.
Keep everyone comfortable
Keep statements appropriate for the group. Players may pass on questions or skip a turn.
