📝 🤥 Two Truths and a Lie[edit]
Andre is here! Which means: Two truths and a lie time
Rules for maximum fun
- Take two minutes, write three declarative statements about yourself
- Two of them should be true
- One of them should be a lie
- 🔑 Do not reveal the lie (yet)! Wait for your turn.
On Your Turn
- When it's your turn, read all three statments aloud (earnestly)
- We'll take a minute to vote for the one we think is a lie with +1
- 🔑 Once voting is complete, you'll reveal the lie
