Two Truths and a Lie
Say three things about yourself. Two are true, one is made up. Can your friends spot the lie?
- Players
- 2 or more
- You need
- Nothing
- Time
- About 1 to 2 minutes per player
How to play
- Think of three statements. Two true things about yourself and one that isn't. Take a moment, the group can wait.
- Say all three. In any order. Keep a straight face.
- Vote. The others talk it over, then on the count of three everyone holds up 1, 2 or 3 fingers for the statement they think is the lie.
- Reveal the lie. Tell them which one was made up, and the story behind the true ones if it's a good one.
In Drinkomania
Everyone who picked the wrong statement takes a sip. If everyone spots the lie, the player who made it up drinks.
Tips
- Make the truths sound unbelievable and the lie sound boring. That's what fools people.
- Skip things the group already knows about you.
- Add details. A specific lie is much easier to believe.
Variation: two truths and a wish
Instead of a lie, say something that isn't true yet but you wish it were. The group guesses which one is the wish.
