How to play

—The Setup
The setup for this game is pretty easy. Just enter a bunch of facts and non-facts into the text box of the setting window in the dashboard. Separate each one with a new line (i.e. hit the enter/return key on your keyboard). Once you’re done, make sure you click the save button at the bottom.
—The Gameplay
Launch the game and display it on your screen. If you’re streaming using Zoom, make sure you select the, “Share Screen” option and select the game window from the list of available screens.
(As with all of our games, you can use the keyboard to control what’s happening, but there are also buttons that you can click in the dashboard.)
Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate through the different facts. Have your students all vote if they think it’s fact or fiction. Voting can be done by raising your hands, giving a thumbs up/down, or by leaving their answer in the chat if you’re streaming.
If the fact is action a fiction, hit the left arrow key on your keyboard. This will display the red fiction background across the whole screen. If it’s actually a real fact, hit the right arrow key. When you hit the same arrow key again, it resets the red/green backgrounds. Going to the next fact will reset the backgrounds as well.
If you’re looking for some really interesting facts, goole, “Facts that sound fake but are real” and you’ll find a lot of great lists!
