STORY: Truth Games
There are several games based on identifying the truth. A television show called To Tell the Truth aired for all of my childhood. The show’s host told the panelists about an unusual occupation or experience while presenting three possible contestants. Two were imposters and one was the true character. The panelists asked questions to determine the truth. The imposters could make up lies to convince the panelists they were the spotlighted name. The authentic character had to tell the truth.
Another game we still play today is called “Two Truths and a Lie.” It is a great mixer to learn more about the others playing the game. People who are “good liars” have an edge over those who have a “tell” when they aren’t telling the truth. I’m competitive and I want to win, but is it such a bad thing to be a “bad liar”?
