Frequently asked questions about Lie Detector
What is Lie Detector drinking game?
Lie Detector is a drinking game where players make statements and the others try to decide if it's true or false. The one who reads people best avoids drinking.
What's the difference between Lie Detector and Two Truths One Lie?
In Two Truths One Lie you make three statements where one is a lie. In Lie Detector you make only one statement, making it harder to hide whether it's true or false.
Can you choose what to say?
Yes, you can say what you want – but the statement must be about yourself. The more convincing you are (whether you're lying or telling the truth), the more fun it gets.
What happens if everyone votes wrong?
The special rule says that if EVERYONE votes wrong, it's extra impressive to have fooled everyone – and the person who made the statement MUST chug as a 'penalty' for being too good at lying.
Can you play Lie Detector with strangers?
Yes, but it's most fun among people who know each other a little. The better you know the person, the easier it is to catch their lies – and that makes the game more exciting.
