About this two truths and a lie generator

This gives you prompts to build your statements from, not ready-made statements - because the statements have to be about you or the game does not work. Coming up with three on the spot is what stalls the game, and a prompt fixes that in a second.

Draw three prompts, one per statement

Set the quantity to three and press once. You get three angles to think from, which is enough structure to build a turn without deciding anything for you. Two of your answers stay true, one becomes the invention.

How to make your lie hard to spot

Most people get this backwards. They invent something dramatic, and everyone spots it immediately because the group is looking for the exciting statement. The reliable approach is the opposite: pick two things that are genuinely odd but true, and make the lie completely ordinary. Nobody expects the boring one, and the truths carry the round.

Playing at work

The Work and Skills prompts keep the game on professional ground - jobs, things you can do, competitions you entered - which is what makes it usable as a team icebreaker rather than something that strays into private territory. It also tends to surface genuinely useful things about colleagues that never come up otherwise.

Common uses

How the randomness works

The list is filtered to the category you chose, then a prompt is drawn using your browser's cryptographic random source with rejection sampling, so nothing is favoured. Batches without repeats use a Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by the same source.

How does the game work?

Each person says three statements about themselves - two true, one invented - and everyone else guesses which is the lie.

What does this tool actually give me?

Prompts to build your statements from. Coming up with three good statements on the spot is the hard part, and a prompt gives you a place to start.

How do I make my lie hard to spot?

Make it boring. People expect the lie to be the exciting one, so an ordinary invented statement beside two genuinely odd truths catches almost everyone.

Can I use this at work?

Yes. The Work and Skills prompts stay on professional ground, which makes the game usable as a team icebreaker.

How many prompts should I draw?

Three, one per statement. Set the quantity to three and you have the shape of your turn in one press.

Is the pick actually random?

Yes. Each prompt is drawn with your browser's cryptographic random source, so every prompt in the chosen category has an equal chance.
