Two posts are fake. One is completely real.
Every card has three social media posts. Two are fiction we invented. One actually happened. The real ones are often harder to believe than the fakes — and that is entirely the point.
How to Play
Learn in 2 minutes. Argue about the answers for the rest of the night.
One player draws and reads all three posts out loud. Two are fake. One actually happened. Nobody knows which — yet.
Everyone secretly picks which post they think is real. Debate encouraged. Trash talk mandatory. Confidence optional.
Flip the card. Learn which post was real. Read the full story of when it happened and why the fakes didn't hold up.
Points for correct guesses. Play until someone hits the target — or until everyone runs out of opinions. Unlikely.
What's on Every Card
Every card is designed to be a mini story. You're not just guessing — you're learning the wild context behind each real post.
Options A, B, and C. One is real. Two are fakes crafted specifically to fool you. Difficulty rating on every card from 1–4 stars.
1 star for warm-up rounds. 4 stars for the deeply online. Calibrated so the difficulty builds naturally through the night.
Flip the card and learn exactly what gave the fake posts away — the verbal tells, factual errors, or out-of-character moments.
Bonus trivia on every card. The real post is just the beginning of the story. We give you the full context, backstory, and fallout.
