# How to Play Two Truths and a Lie on Cosmos Video

Two Truths and a Lie is a classic team icebreaker where each player submits two true statements and one false one, and everyone else has to spot the lie. It works well for 3 or more remote teammates. Inside Cosmos Video, the game runs natively at an in-world game table, so there is no separate app or login.

## Rules

1. Each player writes two true statements about themselves plus one believable lie.
2. The first player's three statements are shown to the rest of the group.
3. Every other player votes on which statement they think is the lie.
4. The answers are revealed and points are awarded for correct guesses and for successfully fooling voters.
5. Play rotates so every participant gets a turn as the storyteller.
6. The player with the most points at the end wins.

## Setup in Cosmos Video

1. Enter a public Cosmos Space or create your own.
2. Walk your avatar up to a game table with the gamified appearance.
3. Press X on your keyboard, or click Games in the toolbar.
4. Select Two Truths and a Lie and invite teammates to sit down.

## Tips for Groups

- Keep lies plausible and close to the truth so they are actually deceptive.
- Rotate who goes first so the same person is not always read last.
- A full round of 6 to 8 players usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
- Encourage quieter teammates to share unexpected truths.
