Which one suits you?
Fib Finder
A baffling question with a blank, and everyone makes up a believable wrong answer. Then all the answers appear side by side with the truth: spot the real one and you score – fool others and you score too.
Pick Fib Finder when you love spinning a tale and know each other well enough to fool one another.
Little Max
Roll, peek, announce – and feel free to lie. The next player believes you or calls your bluff, and whoever’s wrong loses a life. The dice live on your phone, so no cup and no cheating.
Pick Little Max when you’re a sociable bunch who likes putting on a poker face.
What they have in common
