This game was a fun and simplistic way to get to know other people in the class. Not only did we get to share interesting facts about ourselves but we also got an idea of everyone’s creativity through the lies we told. It seemed to me that the addition of a competitive element encouraged everyone to give more effort to the activity.
This was a great way to interact with the other members of the class in a way that also allowed us to get to know each other better in a slightly competitive environment.

Fun way to learn about our classmates and compete at the same time.

The thought processes underlying “Two Truths, One Lie” are interesting and often predictable. Since the goal of the game is to deceive other players, some players often have an intrinsic advantage over others (because they’re skilled liars, because they’ve played the game before, because they are friends with another player and already know the lie, etc.). For those who’ve played the game before, these thought processes can be predicted. For example: I was able to think of weird facts about myself fairly quickly, but I didn’t have time to come up with a good lie, so I just put “I love bacon.” People picked up on the fact that it was the odd one out (among other things) and easily got it right.

I like this game! Especially for the thought that goes behind it. It relies on ones ability to deceive! The deception of this game is dependent on the proposal of the lie. If the lie is too mundane it is often immediately recognizable, but making the lie seem like a lie is often a useful tool in hiding it. I give it a 4 out of 5. Its fun, but not THAT fun.

This game is a good way for students in a new class to know each other and to participate in. It is fun to predict other people’s life and hobbies and it seems like students enjoyed a lot in this game session. I played this game before so i know the rules, the rules are still easy tho. Also, the interesting past is sometimes we can guess whether the student is telling a lie or not through his/her facial expression and the way he/she speaks.

This game is very fun, useful, and quick. It can be played at any age and proved to be more revealing than other icebreaker type games. Coming up with two truths and lie is somewhat challenging but also very compelling just like determining the two truths and lie from other players. I would highly recommend this game to a friend.

This game is a great way to get to know your peers and maybe even brag a bit about yourself. It doesn’t really get boring because each person has their own strategies for making it hard to guess the lie.

This is a good ice breaker, I learned some cool things that I may have not known about people otherwise. As a stand alone game, it doesn’t really hold up, it is more of a quick, practical way to introduce a group of people to each other.
This timeless game is an exercise in deception. It allows new people to introduce themselves while sharing a bit of their personality and sense of humor. You’re also more likely to hear a truly interesting fact about somebody, because people tend mask their lie by including it with an odd or absurd truth. Of all the icebreakers, it’s probably the most engaging.

I thought this game was pretty fun. The challenge is in making all of the facts and the lie seem similar enough that no one stands out. I made two facts contradict so that it would seem as though one was incorrect, when in fact they were both true. I liked figuring out which factoid was a lie, for some reason I was lucky in guessing.
This game is always a good time, its definitely funny reflecting back on this game now at the end of the semester. It makes me think about all of the relationships I’ve built through spending so much time in the classroom with everyone. All in all, a humourous way to break the ice among the class
