How to play Fib Finder with Gather
In Fib Finder, everyone writes a made-up answer on their phone, then you hunt for the real one among all of them. Three players or more, with an Apple TV, iPad or Mac as the table screen.
Open a room and join
On the table screen, choose “Fib Finder”, “With your phones” and “Open a room”. At least three join, tap “Ready”, and start with “Start game”.
Pick a language and go
The TV explains the game in three steps. “Questions in German” switches to English questions, then press “Start game” – on the table screen or on any phone.
Write your fib
The question with a blank is on the TV and on your phone. Type your made-up answer into “Your fib” and tap “Send”; you can change it until time runs out. If it’s too close to the truth, the phone asks you for something else.
Find the truth
Now your phone lists all answers, shuffled. Yours is marked “Yours” and can’t be picked. Tap the one you believe is true – you can change your mind while the timer runs.
Reveal on the TV
The TV goes through the answers one by one: “A fib!” with the author and who fell for it, and finally “The truth”. Your phone says “Watch the TV” and shows your own result. “Next” on the table screen speeds things up.
Standings
After each round you see the standings. Before the seventh and final round, the TV announces that the last round counts double.
Finish and play again
After the final reveal, the winner and points are shown. “Play again” starts a new game with fresh questions where possible, and “Done” on the table screen closes the room.
TV and phone
Writing and picking happen entirely on the phone, the reveal only on the TV. If it drops out, the phone warns: “The TV is not connected – the reveal only plays there.”
While you write, the TV shows each player as done or still writing, and while you pick it shows “… of … have picked”. Identical fibs are merged and count for every author.
