To get to know colleagues on a personal level, to spark fun conversations and storytelling, and to discover surprising things about one another. • Develop shared language and understanding
Expect increased rapport, memorable stories, and a lighthearted atmosphere. Participants will find shared values and preferences.
In remote settings, have participants write statements on a shared doc before reading aloud. Adapt for virtual teams using digital tools. This is essential for dispersed teams.
Tell participants about the icebreaker in advance, so they have time to prepare their statements. Voting features can help organize guesses. Sometimes, the 'lie' is obvious—that's okay.

  1. Each person shares three statements (two truths, one lie).

  2. The group guesses which statement is the lie.

  3. Debrief to link insights to upcoming work—but don't overanalyze.
