The exercise originates from the scout movement and has been used in many team contexts at BAAA and other educational institutions and in various courses.

‘Two truths and one lie’ is a fun get together activity which engages and challenges
the individual participants. It also works as a great icebreaker for teams for courses
of longer duration. The purpose with this exercise is to get people to talk to each
other, also the more shy ones.

Each team member writes down two truths and one lie about him or herself on a piece of paper and then presents these to the team. The team members should try to figure out which of the statements are truths, and which one is the lie.
