SPOT THE DECEPTION
Lightning frequently strikes the same place, especially tall buildings.
Do you have a nose for the truth? In Two Truths and a Lie, we present three fascinating statements. Two are absolute facts, but one is a clever fabrication. Your mission is to put on your detective hat, analyze the claims, and spot the single deception hiding in plain sight.
1.
Read the three statements provided on the card carefully.
2.
Compare the facts and look for inconsistencies or 'too-good-to-be-true' claims.
3.
Select the statement you believe is the LIE.
4.
Reveal the answer to see if you caught the deception and read the fact-check explanation.
Look for specifics: Lies often use overly precise numbers or dates to sound more convincing.
Reverse logic: If a statement sounds completely impossible, it's often actually the truth (reality is weird!).
Common myths: We often use popular misconceptions as our 'Lies'—if it sounds like an old wives' tale, it might be the fake.
Read the 'Did You Know?': Even if you miss the lie, the explanation is a great way to learn a random new fact.
Our lies are usually subtle—we might change a single key detail or flip a fact to see if you're paying attention.
Absolutely! It's a great party game. Read the card out loud and have everyone vote before you reveal the lie.
Yes! Every 'Truth' is a researched fact, and every 'Lie' comes with an explanation of what the actual reality is.
