Dato Falso
Engaña a tus amigos con una respuesta falsa creíble.
Fake Fact is a bluffing trivia game. A real fact appears with its answer blanked out, and every player secretly writes a fake answer that sounds believable. The true answer is shuffled in with all the fakes, and everyone votes for the one they think is real. You score for finding the truth, and for every friend your fake fools.
Objetivo
Aparece un dato real con la respuesta en blanco. Escribe una respuesta falsa que suene real y luego intenta distinguir la verdadera entre las falsas de todos.
Cómo se juega
- Se muestra un dato con un hueco (p. ej. «La primera ___ se vendió en 1923»). Cada jugador escribe en secreto una respuesta falsa creíble.
- La respuesta verdadera se mezcla con todas las falsas y todos votan la que creen real. No puedes votar tu propia falsa.
- Se revela la verdad, junto con quién escribió cada falsa y a quién engañó.
Puntuación
Aciertas la verdadera: 2 puntos. Cada jugador al que engañe tu falsa: 1 punto para ti.
Ronda de ejemplo
- The prompt reads: 'The scientific study of birds is called ___.' You type a believable fake: 'avianology'.
- Everyone's fakes and the true answer appear in a shuffled list. Your own fake is hidden from your list, so you cannot vote for it.
- You pick 'ornithology' and score 2 points for finding the truth. Two friends voted for 'avianology', so you earn 1 point for each.
Consejos de estrategia
- Keep fakes short and in the same style as a real answer: long, jokey answers are easy to rule out.
- Copy the shape of the truth. If the blank is a year, write a year; if it is a word ending in -ology, end yours the same way.
- If you know the real answer, do not write something close to it: the game rejects a fake that matches the truth, and a near-miss tips off the room.
- When two fakes look alike, the real answer is often the plainer one.
Mejor con
Best with 3 to 12 players. Everyone plays from their own phone, so it works in a living room or over a video call, and no one needs to be good at trivia: being a convincing liar is worth more than knowing the answer.
Variantes
- Let the host type their own fact and answer for an in-joke round about your group.
- Shorten the timer for a frantic bluffing game, or lengthen it for more careful lying.
- Play several rounds and let the scoreboard crown the best bluffer.
Preguntas frecuentes
Can I vote for my own fake?
No. Your own fake is hidden from your list, so you can only vote for the truth or someone else's fake.
What if my fake matches the real answer?
It is rejected and not stored, and you can try again until the writing phase ends.
How are points scored?
Picking the true answer scores 2 points. Every other player your fake fools scores 1 point for you.
