Set it up

The settings hold your subjects. Write a subject after a hash mark, then one statement per line, with a star in front of each true one.

You can also choose a player to be the presenter, who reads the statements and tries to fool the room.

Tap the true ones

Tap the statements you believe are true. Tap one again to undo it. A guest can pick no more statements than there are truths, so tapping everything is not a strategy.

The truths

When you reveal, the TV lights up the true statements and shows how many guests picked each one. Every truth a guest found scores points, and their phone shows what they found.
