What it feels like
Every love story starts somewhere: a spilled coffee, a wrong turn, a borrowed umbrella. Tonight, one true story is hiding at this table, and the rest were invented to fool you. Here's how it works. In a private turn, answer one question about yourself truthfully, and invent believable answers to the same kind of question about others. Each round, one real answer hides among the fakes, and everyone else picks the true one. Find it and score two. Everyone your fake fools earns you a point. If under half the room finds the truth, its owner scores two. And write the real answer by accident, and that's two for you.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: answer one question about yourself truthfully, and invent believable answers to the same kind of question about others.
- Each round, one person's real answer is hidden among everyone's fakes.
- Everyone else picks the one they think is true — on phones, or point on three.
- Then the truth comes out, and so do the fakers.
Scoring: 2 points for finding the truth. Every person you fool with your fake is 1 point for you. If under half the room finds the truth, its owner scores 2. Write the real answer by accident and it's 2 for you.
You'll get prompts like
- “How did you meet your partner — or your closest friend?”
- “What happened on your first date — or the best date you've been on?”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
