- Make the lie boring and the truths strange. That is how you win.
- The story behind the truths is worth more than the guess.
- Take a minute to think — this is the one game that is better slow.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play two truths and a lie as a couple?
Take a category card, build three statements from it — two true, one false — and let your partner guess. The difficulty is finding truths they do not already know, which is why the categories are there.
How do you make a good lie?
Keep it dull. People expect the lie to be the exciting statement, so an unremarkable falsehood next to two genuinely odd truths wins nearly every time.
