How a round works
The host starts the room and each round shows three statements. Everyone picks the statement they think is false on their own device. When the round ends, the reveal screen shows which statement was the lie, and the scoreboard updates.
Note that this mode uses prepared statements. If you want the classic version where people write truths and a lie about themselves, run that on the call and use the guide linked below.
Hosting tips
- Give the room a few seconds of silence before the reveal so people can second-guess themselves; that is where the fun is.
- Ask who was most sure before the reveal. People enjoy being confidently wrong.
- Keep rounds snappy: five rounds is a good short session, eight to ten is a full social.
