A sure-sounding witness testifies to every trivia question, but it lies sometimes, and catching the lie pays the most.
Was this fun?
How to play
Each round a witness states an answer to a trivia question with total confidence. You decide whether to trust the testimony or challenge it as a lie. Trust a true answer for small points; catch a lie and name the real answer for the big score. Guess wrong either way and you lose points.
Trust accepts the witness's answer as true.
Challenge calls it a lie, then you must pick the real answer from the options.
Catching a lie scores the most; trusting a lie or challenging the truth costs you.
Play through a fixed run of rounds, building score, streak and accuracy.
Game modes
Daily and Practice runs, each seeded separately.
Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty, which change how often the witness lies.
Controls
Desktop: press T to Trust or C to Challenge, click an option to name the real answer, and Enter or Space to advance.
Phone & tablet: tap the Trust and Challenge buttons and tap an answer option, fully touch-playable.
Tips & strategy
On higher difficulty the witness lies more often, so challenge more freely.
Only challenge when you actually know the real answer, a correct catch needs the right pick.
Protect your streak: when truly unsure of a likely-true answer, trusting is the safer bet.
