Fake or Fact: can you spot the fake?

A snail can sleep for three years. The Great Wall of China is visible from space with the naked eye. One is true, the other is a famous myth. Not sure which? Then Fake or Fact is your kind of game 🧐

It's a Telegram mini game: a statement pops up and you call it fact or fake. Rounds are short enough to finish while you wait for an elevator.

The rules take ten seconds

1. Start the game with /play.
2. Read the statement on the card.
3. Make your call: fact or fake.
4. See if you got it and move on to the next one.

Stuck on something? /help explains how it all works.

Settle the argument with a duel

Everyone has that friend who swears humans only use ten percent of their brain. Challenge them to a duel. You both answer the same questions and the score shows who's been believing myths 😄

It's a lot more fun than trading links in the group chat to prove a point.

Chasing the top spot

Every right answer pushes you up the global leaderboard. Check your rank any time with /leaderboard.

Competing with strangers is weirdly motivating. Just one more round, just a couple of places higher.

Why this is more than a time killer

Fake news works the same way the cards do: it sounds convincing and arrives in a confident tone. The more you practice doubting, the faster you spot nonsense in your actual feed 📰

• Suspiciously round numbers like exactly 10 percent often signal a myth.
• Absolute words such as never, always or all scientists show up in fakes more than in facts.
• Familiar isn't the same as true. Myths survive because people repeat them.
• Weird can be real. Don't reject a fact just because it sounds strange.

Play smarter

Pause before you tap. Ask yourself where you learned this: a textbook, a movie or a forwarded meme. If the answer is that you heard it somewhere, it may well be a myth 🎯

Premium and help

There's a Premium mode under /premium. What it includes and what it costs are shown in the game before you pay, and you can play fine without it.

If something breaks or a question looks wrong, reach the developers through /support. A short description and a screenshot speed things up.

Who'll enjoy it

• Trivia fans who want a fast game with no long rules.

• Friend groups that love a good debate.
