How to run it

  1. 1
    Give everyone 2 minutes to think of three short statements: two true, one invented.
  2. 2
    Go round the room in a fixed order.
  3. 3
    After each person reads theirs, the group votes on the invented one.
  4. 4
    The speaker reveals the answer and adds one line of backstory.

Variations

  • Theme the round: travel, food or first jobs only.
  • Play in teams and score a point for each correct guess.

Host tips

Host goes first to show the right level of personal.
Keep it light: nothing anyone would regret sharing at work.
