How to play True or False
The rules
- A game is 10 statements, one at a time.
- For each statement, tap True or False. Your first answer is final.
- After each answer you see if you were right and read a short explanation with the facts.
- You get one point for each right answer, so your score is 0 to 10.
How to play here
- Tap True or False, then tap Next for the next statement. After the tenth, tap See result.
- Keyboard: press 1 for True and 2 for False, and Enter for the next statement. The arrow keys move between the two answer buttons.
- The dots at the top show your progress: a check for a right answer, a cross for a wrong one.
Difficulty levels
| Level | The statements are |
|---|---|
| Easy | Facts most people know |
| Medium | Facts many people know |
| Hard | Facts fewer people know |
| Expert | Surprising facts and common wrong beliefs |
Tips
- Read every word. One detail, such as a number or a place, can make a statement false.
- At the expert level, a statement that “everyone knows” may be a myth.
- Read the explanations: the facts often come back in a different form.

- Can I change my answer?
- No. Your first tap is your answer. Then read the explanation and go on to the next statement.
- Is there a time limit?
- No. Take as long as you like for each statement.
