Every player submits three statements about themselves. Two are true. One is a lie. The group debates, then votes. Scores stack across the game.

Two Truths & a Lie
Spot the lie. Defend your truth. Trust no one.
Each player taps three statements into their phone, marking which is the lie. The host taps a button. The first player's statements appear on the shared screen, whether that is a TV, a screenshare on a call, or just the host's laptop on the table. The group reads them: "I once met Beyoncé in Lagos." "I have never had a passport." "I can ride a unicycle."
The room debates. Someone says the Beyoncé one is too specific to be fake. Someone else points out the player just got back from Japan, which kind of rules out the passport. The unicycle one is too quirky to lie about. The room votes from their phones.
The host reveals the lie. Half the room was wrong. The leaderboard updates: a point to everyone who spotted the lie, and one to the player for every person they fooled. The next player is up.

Scenario 01
New hire onboarding
Onboarding
A cohort of 12 new joiners is dropped into a virtual onboarding session. The People lead runs Two Truths & a Lie as the first 20 minutes. By the end of the round, the cohort has learned more about each other than they would in three weeks of team standups. One new joiner has revealed she was an Olympic-level archer. Another claims to have a pet emu. (One of those is a lie.)
Scenario 02
Dinner party reveal
Dinner party
Eight friends at a dinner party. Everyone has known each other for five years and assumes they know everything about each other. The host runs Two Truths & a Lie. Three rounds in, someone has revealed a fact about themselves that nobody knew. The dinner party becomes a deeply nostalgic interrogation, in the warmest possible way.
Scenario 03
Double date game
Date night
Two couples on a double date who have only met once before. The host casts Neegma to the TV. Two Truths & a Lie reveals more about each person in 30 minutes than the previous dinner did. By the end of the night, all four are planning the next double date.
Each player gets a turn. The group votes from their phones. The host reveals and the leaderboard updates. No moderator effort required.
After each player submits, the rest of the room votes on what they think is true and what is a lie. The host sees the live tally before revealing the answer. Scores stack as the game runs.
Best for: icebreakers, onboarding, dinner parties, any group where you want people learning something real about each other.
Players are grouped into 2 to 6 colour-coded teams. Each team huddles around one device, debates the answer, and submits together. The energy in the room goes up immediately.
Best for: in-person offsites, weddings, family gatherings, anywhere you want people talking to each other instead of staring at their phones.
Two Truths & a Lie works perfectly offline. Players take it in turns to say their three statements out loud, the way the game has always been played at a table. The group debates verbally, votes by show of hands, and the host runs the scoring from a single device. A dedicated offline format is also coming soon for groups that want fastest-finger or one-at-a-time team modes built into the platform.
