What you need

Nothing at all. Just the people.

How to play

  1. Everyone thinks of two true facts and one believable lie about themselves.
  2. Take turns saying all three in any order.
  3. The group votes on which one is the lie.
  4. Reveal it; everyone who was fooled gives the teller a point.

Office tip: The best for a new team member’s first week: everyone learns three things at once.
