This is an oldie but a goodie! Two Truths and a Lie can be used anywhere, from rowdy family parties to company events, to help people open up a bit in a fun way.
How to do it
Ask each person to think up three ”˜facts’ about themselves, except that two of those facts have to be true, and one has to be a lie. Each person takes their turn to say their three ”˜facts’, without revealing which ones are true or not. Then, everyone else has to guess which one is the lie.
Sometimes it might be a little bit awkward to get started, so you as the facilitator can give people a bit of time to think by going first yourself.
Variations
Add a little bit of competition factor to this icebreaker by letting people keep score of how many lies they were able to guess right.
