What is True or False?
True or False is PlayWord's daily trivia quiz: every day brings five true or false questions with answers, about history, geography, nature, science, the human body or popular myths, and you decide whether each one is true or false.
After every answer you see straight away whether you were right, with a short explanation of the facts. A round takes about two minutes, a nice warm-up before the other daily games.
How to play
- Read the statement and tap True or False. On a phone you can also swipe the card right (true) or left (false); on a computer use the → and ← keys.
- The card turns green or red and the explanation appears. Next (or Enter) brings the next statement.
- The statements go from easy to hard: two easy, two medium, one hard. Two or three of them are true each day.
- Answers are final, with no timer and no hints. At the end you see your score and all five statements with their explanations.
Tips
- Don't rule a statement out just because it sounds odd: the most surprising ones are often true.
- Well-known myths, like the goldfish with a three-second memory, often show up as false statements.
- Watch the numbers: a false statement is often off only by a year, a distance or an amount.
