Games - Lying Games


Here are a couple of silly games that require no equipment or set up.

They are fun to play with imaginative people, and can also be drinking games

Two Truths One Lie

The idea: You hide a lie amongst two truths and attempt to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Play the game in five easy steps:

1. A player discloses three statements to the group- two being true, the other being a complete lie.

2. Members of the group can ask questions about any of the statements to try and verify their credibility.

3. After everyone is satisfied, voting begins, with people guessing which they thought was the lie.

4. The lie is then disclosed. Whoever guessed the lie correctly tells the liar to drink. If someone guessed wrong, they drink.

If the liar fools everyone, they all drink twice. If everyone calls him/her out, then the liar drinks twice.

5. The next person to tell two truths and one lie is the next person on the left.


This next game I prefer as it does not require people to think so much and so the pace is faster.

Tell Me About The Time

In an absinthery in Prague we were playing TTOL. After a while found it hard to think of  more statements we could talk around, so a new game was born.

The idea: I ask you to tell me about the time you did something. I do not know if you did this or not, but either way, you have to convince the group that it really did happen.

Five easy steps:

1. Whoever has a good question in mind asks the person on their left "Tell me about the time..."

They should not be too specific to increase the mystery of whether this could have happened or not. eg. "Tell me about the time you cheated on a test", "Tell me about the time the police cautioned you"

2. You have ten seconds to 'remember' the specific time (or to begin to fabricate it) and then tell the tale.

3. People can ask one question each for further information.

4. Everyone says if they think its true or a lie

5. The truth is revealed. Whether its true or a lie, whoever guessed the correctly tells the storyteller to drink. If someone guessed wrong, they drink.

If the storyteller fools everyone, they all drink twice. If everyone calls him/her out,  then the liar drinks twice.

Continue in a circle or however you like.


Happy lying!

Whilst In Tokyo...

Image
Spending six days in Tokyo was one of the highlights of a recent three week trip to Japan.  I guess it’s a place like London, Paris or New York- A city that you might have a clear picture of before you've ever been there, through its portrayal in film and TV... But how much of that can you trust? The notion that I had over-huped the city in my mind did occur to me, but I was still really eager to visit for myself and see how it matched my expectations.  Those expectations were that it would be crazy, cool and super busy.  I have to say that I was not disappointed at all. I’m going to describe the great things I did in Tokyo to give ‘at a glance’ ideas for other travellers, as well as transport and capsule accommodation. Including: Food Drink Shibuya Crossing Ghibli Museum Pokemon Centre and Hello Kitty Store DisneySea Metro Skylines & Shrines Odd Cafes Robots Capsule Hotels Food What do you think of when I say ‘food’ and ‘Tokyo’ in the same breath? I’m fai

English Names In China

Image
I work at a preschool in China as an English teacher. I am surrounded by the Chinese language but I'm still pretty clueless about it. This week I've been thinking about names. Here are a few of the nice English names that the schoolchildren have: Here are the name cards of some students  with some unique English names Its so useful that students have English names in addition to their Chinese names- remembering 120 Chinese names like 'Wang Jia Yi' which is Wendy's Chinese name, would be quite a struggle. Whilst I am thankful for their binomial nomenclature, having a name that's written in English and having 'an English name' are not one and the same.  Example: The child who is called “Chocolate’’.  Whilst I can't deny that her name is written in English... its not a name I'd expect to hear anywhere in the UK! Equally eyebrow-raising the name Herny- though I think he’s supposed to be Henry. If I could communicate with th

Sights From A Chinese Street

Image
During the last couple of years I've worked in a few different countries- France, Finland, Czech and I am currently in China. Of the seven different jobs I've had, they have all been within walking distance from home, which includes the job I have now.. It only takes me 12 minutes to walk to work, but even in that short distance there are some interesting things to behold. During the last week, I've been taking some snaps on the way to work... Are the days numbered for streets like this? (I hope so) A lot of construction is going on in this area, as is probably in many parts of China. Its said to be an interesting time to be in China, 'because in a few years the country will have transformed'. Dirty side streets like this one will be replaced by more habitable accommodation, possibly. At the moment though, particularly near where I live, there's a lot of filth. An abundance of littering and dumping of refuse hinders progress being made to imp
