Two Truths & a Lie
Classic icebreaker, online. Write two truths and a lie, then take turns in the hot seat while everyone guesses the fib.
Two Truths and a Lie on FateRound handles the classic icebreaker end to end — everyone submits two truths and one lie in the lobby, then takes turns in the hot seat while the group guesses the fib. Statements shuffle each round and points track who spots lies best. Better than playing in person because scoring is automatic and shy players participate through their phone.
