Each participant is called to write two sentences about him/herself on a piece of paper. One of them is true, one is false. The rest of the participants go around the room and put their initials on the information they believe is the truth. Lastly, participants gather in a circle and share their sentences, revealing the truth, while also presenting how many people managed to guess correctly. How was it to try and search for the truth?
