One of them is not true.

The icebreaker everybody already knows the rules to, without the part where somebody has to go first in front of the whole room.

✦ Why it works

Nobody has to go first.

The version everybody has played has one flaw: somebody stands up and performs three sentences while eleven people watch, and the people who find that easy have an enormous advantage over the people who do not.

Writing them down removes that entirely. Everybody submits at the same time, in private, and the reveal is about the claims rather than about who delivered them convincingly. The shy person on your team is often the best at this and has never had the chance to show it.

✦ Worth knowing

Where the good lies come from.

The lie that works is not the outrageous one. It is the boring one adjacent to a truth: you have been to eleven countries when it is nine, you played an instrument you actually only owned.

The prompt hints in the room nudge people toward those categories rather than leaving them staring at an empty box, which is where most rounds of this die.

✦ How to play

Three steps, and none of them is signing up.

1
Everybody joins

One link, one name each. It works from two people up to sixteen.

2
Write three claims

Two true, one not, and mark which is which. There are hints if you go blank.

3
Vote on each person

One player per round. Everybody picks the claim they think is false, then it is revealed with the score.

✦ Questions

Two truths and a lie, answered.

Yes, and it is a genuinely good two-player game. You each write three, you each guess once, and it is over in five minutes. With a couple it tends to expose how much of each other's past you actually retained.
The writing takes the longest, usually two or three minutes for everybody. After that it is about a minute per player, so a team of eight comes in around fifteen minutes.
No. Nothing is shown until every player has submitted, which stops anybody copying a structure that is working or hedging against what has already been said.
Yes. You score for spotting other people's lies and for fooling other people with yours, so the winner is usually somebody who was quietly convincing rather than whoever guessed best.

The game is free forever.
The rest of it is the hard part.

EvyOS gives two people one place for the plans, the lists and whose turn it actually is.
