Two Truths and a Lie
Three statements. One is fake. Guess the lie - or steal the prompts for your own live rounds with friends.
How Two Truths and a Lie Works
Two Truths and a Lie (also searched as two truths one lie or 2 truths one lie) is a classic icebreaker: one person offers three claims about themselves, two true and one false. Everyone else votes on which claim is the lie. When the answer is revealed, the stories behind the truths usually steal the show.
Our online version gives you ready-made rounds so you can practice spotting lies or use the statements as inspiration when it is your turn in a live circle. There is no download and no signup - tap a statement, see if you caught the lie, then go to the next round.
Tips for Better Rounds
- Make the lie believable - wild claims are too easy to spot.
- Keep truths specific (a place, a year, a quirky detail).
- Skip mean or private topics your group has not agreed to share.
- Alternate turns so quiet players get a chance to guess and speak.
