The game is simple: two truths and one lie.
The bonding exercise typically plays out around a campfire with friends or as an ice breaker on the first day of class, and allows participants to recognize artists of deception.

This nerve-wracking video rendition of the game, by director James Coulson, shows a series of people delivering confessions about themselves while staring directly into the camera. As the video progresses, the confession frequency increases and become more absurd as the droning noise floor of fluorescent lighting rises.
It's enough to drive you mad.
Some of the confessions include: "When I hold a kitchen knife sometimes I imagine what it would be like to kill myself, or other people" and "I need a lot of noise around me, otherwise I hear things most people don't, or shouldn't."
The video ends with a simple statement: "In this film, my lie is another person's truth." Can you tell the truths from the lies?
