How to play One of Us

Several storytellers. Only one story is true. Listen closely and work out whose story really happened.

  1. Read the prompt aloud. Pass the phone so everyone privately says whether they have a true story about it.

  2. Bondi secretly picks one person with a true story and two (or one) bluffers. Each storyteller privately learns their role.

  3. Storytellers take turns telling their story, with an optional 60-second timer. Listeners may ask one question each.

  4. Everyone else votes privately. Right guesses score 1. Each bluffer scores 1 for every vote they drew. Highest total wins.

✳ 54 story prompts, classic and bold.
