Two Truths and a Lie Online Game
Play the classic icebreaker without paper or setup. In Personal mode, every player writes two true statements and one lie. Quick Facts offers instant sourced rounds when nobody wants to write.
Personal stories or instant facts
Personal mode rotates the author, secretly marks and shuffles the lie, then gives every other player one private vote. Correct guessers earn two points; authors earn up to four points for fooling the group.
Quick Facts uses a reviewed catalog of two established facts and one false statement, with a short explanation after every vote.
How to play Two Truths and a Lie
- Write three distinct statements about yourself.
- Mark exactly one statement as the lie.
- Pass the phone or vote privately in a Room.
- Reveal the lie after everyone votes.
- Rotate authors until everyone has shared a set.
Choose your format
