Two Truths and a Lie
Each person shares three statements about themselves — two true and one false. The group tries to guess which one is the lie.
How to Play
Give everyone 2-3 minutes to think of two true facts and one lie about themselves.
Each person takes a turn sharing their three statements.
The group discusses and votes on which statement they think is the lie.
The person reveals which statement was false.
Continue until everyone has had a turn.
Facilitator Tips
Encourage people to make their truths surprising and their lie believable.
For shy groups, allow people to write their statements down first.
Keep the mood light — avoid overly personal or controversial topics.
