Only One of These Is True is a guessing game: you share three or four facts about yourself, only one is real, and your friends try to spot it. It works on an Instagram story, in a WhatsApp group or sitting in a circle.
Below are 75 ready-made sets. Copy one, change the lines so exactly one is true for you, and send it.

How to Play Only One of These Is True
For first-timers. The game takes one minute to set up, on a phone or face to face.
On an Instagram story:
- Open your story camera and pick a photo or a plain colour background.
- Tap the sticker icon and choose Quiz.
- Type "Only one of these is true" as the question, then add your options. The quiz sticker allows up to 4 options.
- Tap the true option so it turns green. That is the answer people are guessing.
- Share the story. When people tap, they see right away if they guessed correctly, and you can see who picked what in your story viewers.
On WhatsApp or in person:
- Copy a set below and edit it so only one line is true for you.
- Send it to a chat or group, or read it out loud.
- Everyone replies with the number they think is true.
- Reveal the answer. Anyone who guessed right gets a point, and the next person takes a turn.
How it differs from Two Truths and a Lie: in Two Truths and a Lie, two facts are real and players hunt for the lie. In Only One of These Is True, it is the other way round: most of the lines are made up and players hunt for the one truth. Both use the same kind of statements, so you can switch between them with the same list.
| Only One of These Is True | Two Truths and a Lie | |
|---|---|---|
| Real facts | 1 | 2 |
| Made-up facts | 2 or 3 | 1 |
| Players look for | The truth | The lie |
| Best for | Instagram quiz stories | Groups sitting together |
Tip: the best true fact sounds made up, and the best fake facts sound boring. Want a different game for your followers? Try these Instagram dare games.
