Why it works as a party game

This is the party game for a group that does not know each other yet. The prize is the story, not the point.

How to play

  1. One player says three short statements about themselves. Two are true. One is a lie.
  2. The group asks one round of questions, then votes on the lie.
  3. The player reveals the lie and one sentence of the true version.
  4. Go around the circle once. A second lap only if people are still volunteering stories.

Hosting tips

  • The lie should be almost true. A cartoon lie is guessed immediately.
  • Keep each statement to one sentence so the circle finishes.
  • Skip scorekeeping with a new group. The reveal is the game.
