What is Two Truths and a Lie?

Two Truths and a Lie is a popular game where players share three statements about themselves, two of the statements are true and one that is made up. The fun comes from trying to fool others with a believable lie while they try to guess which statement isn’t true. It’s often played in classrooms, camps, or group settings to help people learn more about each other. Similarly to the games “Never Have I Ever” and “Would You Rather“, this game is great to getting to know other people because you learn about their experiences!

How do you play Two Truths and a Lie?

To play Two Truths and a Lie, you will need a group of people and select an order in which everyone will go. When it is your turn, you are supposed to say three things about yourself. Two of those things are true, and one is a lie. Try to make the lie as believable as possible since when it is your turn, our goal is to trick the other players. After you say your 3 things about yourself, the other players try to guess which one is a lie. Once the guesses have been made, you reveal whether they were right or wrong, and then it is the next person’s turn.
