HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Choose one guide and one tiny tour area, such as a shelf, doorway, or patch of yard. The guide gets one minute to study it and prepare exactly three tour facts: one true and two invented.
  2. 2The guide gives a tour lasting no more than two minutes and presents all three facts without revealing which one is true.
  3. 3After the tour, every visitor makes one guess. The guide reveals the true fact and gives one point to each correct guess.
  4. 4Choose a new area and rotate guides until everyone has led once. The player with the most correct guesses wins, or skip scoring and vote for the best invented fact.
