Content - The Game
- Ask everyone to think of 3 outrageously crazy things they have done or has happened to them
- 2 Must be TRUE
- 1 Must be FALSE
- Ask them to keep the stories relatively brief
- Optionally get them to write their stories down
- Get everyone to stand
- First person stands in front of the group and states tells their 3 stories
- Aim of the game is for the rest to guess which is false
- Time willing: People can ask clarifying questions to see if they can catch the person out or extract more info about each story
- People then vote with their feet i.e. If they think question 1 is false, stand to the left. If they think question 2 is false, stand in front. If they think question 3 is false, stand to the right
- Time willing: person can then tell the full story
- Tweaks, to save a little time only have 1 true statement and 2 false
