Purpose
This exercise works best in a group of people who don’t know each other very well, people from different branches of a company or organisation or those involved in different projects. This is a fun exercise which needs a bit of creativity and produces a few laughs along the way.
Objective
Each team has to identify the false statement presented by the other team.
Setup
- Divide the group into two teams.

- Members of the other team have to guess which statement is false.
- Repeat this procedure for the opposing team.
