About 1 to 2 minutes per player

How to play

  1. Think of three statements. Two true things about yourself and one that isn't. Take a moment, the group can wait.
  2. Say all three. In any order. Keep a straight face.
  3. Vote. The others talk it over, then on the count of three everyone holds up 1, 2 or 3 fingers for the statement they think is the lie.
  4. Reveal the lie. Tell them which one was made up, and the story behind the true ones if it's a good one.

In Drinkomania

Everyone who picked the wrong statement takes a sip. If everyone spots the lie, the player who made it up drinks.

Tips

  • Make the truths sound unbelievable and the lie sound boring. That's what fools people.
  • Skip things the group already knows about you.
  • Add details. A specific lie is much easier to believe.

Variation: two truths and a wish

Instead of a lie, say something that isn't true yet but you wish it were. The group guesses which one is the wish.
