Fact or Fib

Four claims, three true and one fib. Spot the fib to learn the real fact behind it. A general knowledge quiz with a daily set and practice runs.

How to play

  1. Every question shows four short claims. Three of them are true and one is a fib.
  2. Tap the claim you think is false. A wrong tap is greyed out and counted as a mistake, and you try again.
  3. When you find the fib the game shows the real fact, so each question teaches you something.
  4. The clock starts on your first tap and stops after the last question. A faster, cleaner run is a better one.

Tips and strategy

  • Be suspicious of claims that sound like popular myths. Many fibs are things people repeat without checking.
  • Look for words such as only, never, always and all. They often give a fib away.
  • If two claims seem odd, think about which one you could explain. The one you cannot explain is usually the fib.
  • Read the correction after each answer. The same fibs return in practice runs.

FAQ

Where do the facts come from?
They are short, well known science and nature facts that can be checked in any good reference book. The fibs are common myths and mix-ups.
Does the same fib come back?
Not inside one puzzle. Across different puzzles and days the pool is shuffled, so you will see repeats over time.
Is the daily the same for everyone?
Yes. It is built from the date, so everyone gets the same questions on the same day.
