Two Truths & a Lie

Each player writes three statements about themselves — two true, one false — and everyone else tries to spot the lie. You score by fooling others with your lie and by correctly catching theirs.

1. Players each enter three statements and secretly mark which one is the lie.
2. The host starts the guessing rounds, one player's statements at a time.
3. Everyone except the author guesses which statement is the lie.
4. The host reveals the answer; points go to correct guessers and to authors who fooled the room. Repeat for each author, then see the final scoreboard.

• Make your lie boringly plausible and your truths surprisingly weird — people expect the strange one to be the lie.
• Anchor all three statements in the same tone and length so the lie doesn't stand out.
• When guessing, watch for over-explained statements; extra detail is often a cover story.

• Avoid lies that are easy to disprove with a quick search or a coworker's knowledge.
• A true-but-unbelievable fact is your secret weapon.
• Keep statements work-appropriate and kind.
