If youve ever been in any type of group-orientation situation, chances are youve played Two Truths And A Lie. Its a simple game that works as an icebreaker by allowing people to share two statements about themselves, stirring in some fun by allowing them to make one statement up. High-school drama classes and business retreats alike use this kind of team-building exercise, and its a very familiar format. (NPRs Wait, Wait, Dont Tell Me also utilizes it for its Bluff The Listener segment.) Magical comedy duo Penn Tellers new show Penn Teller Tell A Lie takes the concept of Two Truths And A Lie even further, mixing it with a Mythbusters-type reality show, imparting knowledge through entertainment and a dash of humor. Its not anything new, but its certainly the most entertaining iteration of the gameand theres no corporate team building involved..
