How to run it

  1. Give everyone two minutes and a prompt to build their three statements around.
  2. Each person reads all three out, in any order, with a straight face.
  3. The room votes on which one is the lie - a show of hands is quickest.
  4. The person reveals, and gives the story behind the true ones.
  5. Keep it to about a minute a person, and stop while people still want more.
