Playing using Texting
Below is a real example of two truths and a lie being played by two people using WhatsApp. If you are looking for more example statements or strategies to use while playing, see below the images.
The statements begin rather innocent but are still difficult to guess. See the strategies listed below the images to identify which was used here.
Ok, now we have a conversation going in-between statements. This is highly encouraged as two truths and a lie is normally used as a conversation starter.
In this case you opponent made it easy because who eats bars of soaps... Now it is you turn again, so gradually switch the topic to what you want to talk about.
In this case one of the statements can be considered sexual in nature but the other statements are also very plausible.
Even though the nature of the conversation was played, observe how the tone has changed and is now of a more sensual nature.

Bad Examples
DO NOT FIB!
- Do not make your lie your truth or vice versa, this ruins the game for everyone. Stick to what you have decided when originally choosing your statements.
- Do not choose a very obvious statement this will make the game too easy for your friend to guess which is true from false.
- Also, try not to let your statements include technicalities such as, “I have driven 520 miles during one trip”.
If the statement above is defined as a lie and the truth is: “I have only driven 519 miles during one trip” — statements like those tend to annoy players. Try to make all your statements vastly different to avoid technicalities.
A few more Bad Examples
Lie | Truth |
| I ran 20 miles in 6 minutes. | I ran 20 miles in 7 minutes |
| I have owned 3 blackberry phones. | I actually owned only 2 blackberry phones. |
| I took eight flights in one vacation. | I actually took nine flights. |
| I have been to Canada. | Technically while on a ship I have gone through Canadian seas. |
For example, DO NOT USE Statements like:
- I have never eaten food before (since everyone has)
- I do not breathe air (because everyone does)
You get the point! Try to use statements which aren’t so obvious more acceptable statements are:
- I have traveled to London in the winter
- I own four shades of brown wallets
- My mother runs over 3 companies
These types of statements make your opponents think making it harder for them to guess. Try to make the game as challenging as possible for them it adds to the fun! Speaking of strategies there are a few more which can be employed to throw your friends off the right answer.
Effective Strategies
Strategy #1
Use two outrageous statements and then something simple for the lie. This will throw off your opponents greatly and is a common strategy I employ — they remain focused on the two outrageous statement believing one of them HAS to be the lie. Simple and effective I call this the Sniper tactic.
Refer to the example list above (Example 2 and 3).
Strategy #2
Try to keep all statements around the same level in terms of believability. This averages out the probability of your friend guessing correctly. This is not really a strategy but is commonly used nevertheless. I call this one fair play.
Strategy #3
Play with facts slightly switch the names of places, for example, Burger King might not sell my favorite cookie but MacDonald does (Example #1). Be careful with this tactic as it can annoy users (see the what not to do section).
Strategy #4
Pick a good statement that seems like a Lie but can't be because it is too obvious. This one I call “hiding in plain sight” and is used to confuse your friends by making them doubt themselves. Try not to change your tone of voice when saying these statements (this applies to all strategies as well). Especially with this strategy, I've observed we have a tendency to giggle.
Some more general strategies...
- Start with a simple truth, then an outrageous statement, then a simple lie so the second statement seems like the lie (Example #1).
Choose a lie that could be true. - Of course, mix up your strategies as you play more rounds or your friends will figure it out and start to beat you!
