Format

Rounds

In all rounds, the scoring system is the same: teams gain a point for correctly guessing whether a statement is true or not, but if they guess incorrectly the opposing team gets a point. Some questions are edited out during post-production, however the scores were re-recorded to reflect only the questions which had made the edit and not the whole recording.

Current rounds

  • "Home Truths": Panellists read out a statement from a card about themselves. The opposing team has to decide whether it is true or false by asking the panellist questions.
  • "This is My...": A guest comes onto the set and is introduced by first name, but remains standing in silence as the round continues. Panellists on one team tell the opposing team about their relationship to the guest; only one account out of three told is genuine, and the opposing team has to work out which it is. At the end of the round, the guest reveals their true identity, and which of the panellists they have a genuine relationship with.
  • "Quick-Fire Lies": Panellists are chosen at random, and read a statement about themselves from a card. This is identical to "Home Truths" in practice.
  • "Could it Be?": Chrissie reads out a statement for each team and they have determine whether it is a truth or a lie.

Former rounds

  • "Possession": Panellists take an item out of a box and read a statement from a card, and have to convince the opposing team that the possession genuinely belongs to them.
