Two truths and a lie: post three claims about yourself, the board guesses the lie

[RatedRStu10]

A classic that works beautifully on a forum. Post three statements about yourself, two true and one false, and let the board guess which is the lie, then confirm once a few people have committed, and the art is making your truths sound unbelievable and your lie sound mundane so the whole thing becomes a lovely game of misdirection

House rules to keep it flowing, keep it clean for the front page, actually come back and reveal the answer because an unconfirmed round haunts a thread forever, and try to guess the person above you before posting your own three, so the game chains along rather than piling up unanswered

The genuine joy of these threads is how much you learn about people through the truths that turn out to be real, the quiet member who casually reveals they once met royalty or lived on a boat or hold a bizarre record, the mundane looking lie hiding a wild true life underneath

So post your three and guess the trio above you, and the highest honour available is a truth so outlandish that the entire board votes it the obvious lie, because being disbelieved about something real is the best possible outcome of this game

[Quiet Glacier]

Guessing the opener has no trio yet so I will start, I have broken the same arm three times, I once served food to a famous actor, and I cannot whistle at all, one of these is a lie

[Layla79]

Going for the whistle being the lie because everyone claims they cannot and it is usually false modesty, and posting mine, I have swum with sharks, I speak three languages, I have never seen the sea until I was twenty

[Aura]

The never saw the sea until twenty feels like the planted mundane lie, too neat, so that is my guess, and mine, I once fainted at a concert, I have a scar shaped like a country, I met my partner in a lift

[Always_Myles26]

Reveal for my round since a few have guessed, the whistle was true, I genuinely cannot, the LIE was the famous actor, the broken arm three times is real and yes I am that clumsy

[Cheugy]

Called it on the whistle being real, knew the modesty angle was a trap, guessing the lift meeting is the lie above because it is suspiciously romantic

[StuckOnDestiny]

The suspiciously romantic detail being the lie is good detective work, the real lives are usually messier than the cute story, that is the tell in half these rounds

[ECWAlex98]

Mine, I have eaten insects on purpose, I once got locked in a museum, I have a twin, and I will actually come back and reveal unlike some monsters who never do

[Rocket67]

The unconfirmed round haunting a thread forever is real, there is a two truths thread from years ago on another forum whose lies were never revealed and I still think about it, the trauma is genuine

[Adam2]

Revealing mine as promised, the country shaped scar was true, fainted at a concert true, the LIE was meeting my partner in a lift, we met somewhere deeply boring and the lift was an upgrade

[Always_Myles26]

The pattern in this whole thread is that the outlandish truths keep getting believed and the mundane lies keep getting caught, real life is stranger than our inventions and this game proves it every time
