How it works

- 3Everyone votes on the lie. Then the player reveals it, and anyone who guessed right gets a point.
About this game
Two truths and a lie is the best icebreaker for groups who don't know each other yet: it's quick, everyone gets a turn, and you learn real things about people while trying to catch them out.
The hard part is thinking of good statements on the spot, so this deck gives you a topic for each turn. Tip: make your lie boring and one of your truths outrageous. People always vote for the wild one.
Frequently asked questions
+What are good examples of two truths and a lie?
Pick one topic. For example, about travel: “I've slept in an airport”, “I've been to Iceland”, “I've never been on a boat”. Mixing an unlikely truth with a believable lie works best.
+Is it good for work meetings?
Yes. It's one of the most popular icebreakers for teams and classes, and it works on video calls too.
