Two Truths and a Lie Generator

A quick icebreaker that always works

Two Truths and a Lie is one of the easiest games to run with friends, coworkers, or students. Use the context filter for work-safe sets, then generate until you find one that fits your group's vibe.

If you are searching for two truths and a lie questions, work icebreakers, or classroom icebreaker games, this generator gives you ready-to-play sets that you can copy into chat or read out loud.

How to play Two Truths and a Lie

The rules are simple:

1. Read three statements.
2. Everyone guesses which statement is the lie.
3. Reveal the answer.
4. Rotate to the next player (or generate a new set).

The generator keeps the answer hidden until you choose to reveal it, so the game works in real time.

Pick the right context (work-safe, party, school, dating)

Context is the difference between fun and awkward. Choose the one that fits your room:

• Work-safe: good for team meetings, onboarding, and remote calls.
• Party: louder, sillier, and faster-paced.
• School: student-friendly and easy for groups.
• Dating: light and flirty without being too personal.

If you are unsure, start with Work-safe. You can always switch once the group is warmed up.

Example Two Truths and a Lie sets

These are examples of the format you can generate. Each set has three statements—two are true and one is a lie.

Tips to make it fun (and not weird)

Two Truths and a Lie works best when the statements are interesting but not invasive. Here are the best practices:

• Keep it short: long stories make guessing boring.
• Stay inclusive: avoid money flexes, sensitive topics, or anything that singles people out.
• Let people pass: if someone does not want to answer, just generate a new set.
• Play fast: quick rounds keep energy high, especially in groups.

Easy variations for groups

Want to level it up? Try one of these:

• Point system: 1 point for a correct guess. First to 5 wins.
• Lightning round: 30 seconds to guess or you lose your turn.
• Theme night: all statements must relate to travel, food, or hobbies.

For remote calls, have everyone type "1", "2", or "3" in chat at the same time, then reveal the answer.

A 5-minute version for meetings (or class)

If you only have a few minutes, you can still use Two Truths and a Lie as a quick warmup:

1. Choose Work-safe (or School) and generate one set.
2. Read the three statements and give everyone 10 seconds to guess.
3. Have people vote in chat with "1", "2", or "3".
4. Reveal the answer and move on.

Keep it optional: anyone can pass, and you can always generate a new set if something feels too personal.

Privacy and comfort tips

A good icebreaker builds comfort, not pressure. Avoid sensitive topics (health, finances, trauma, relationships) unless you are in a close friend group that explicitly wants that. In workplaces and classrooms, keep it light and optional.

If you are hosting, set the tone: anyone can skip a set, and no one has to explain why.
