Two Truths and a Lie

Each player shares three short statements about themselves, two true and one invented, and the group tries to spot the made-up one.

How to play

Give everyone two minutes to think of two true facts about themselves and one believable fact that is not true.
Ask the first player to say all three statements aloud in any order, without pausing or hinting at the invented one.
Let the group ask up to two quick questions, then everyone votes on which statement they think is the lie.
On a video call, collect votes with a show of fingers, the chat box or emoji reactions.
The player reveals the lie and tells the short story behind one of the true facts.
Move to the next player until everyone has had a turn, keeping each turn to about one minute.

Suggest light topics such as hobbies, travel, food or odd skills so nobody feels pushed to share something personal.
Let people pass or play as a pair if they need more time to think.
For groups over 12, split into smaller circles so each turn stays short and everyone gets a go.

Two Lies and a Truth: flip the ratio so the group hunts for the single true statement.
Theme round: all three statements must be about a first job, a trip or a childhood hobby.
