How to Play To Tell the Truth

"To Tell the Truth" is a TV game show that has been around since 1956. It was produced by Godson-Todman productions and was created by Bob Stewart. Its most famous claim to fame is that it appeared in six decades--the only game show that can make this claim. Read on to discover how to play "To Tell the Truth."

Instructions

- 1
  Select contestants for the show. Three people need to pose as the same person. Players need to be screened to see if they can pull off the impersonation for the panel.
- 2
  Choose the panel. You need to have four celebrities on the panel to ask the contestants questions. The panel members each have 30 seconds to a minute to question the contestants. After they question them, they need to make a choice as to who is real.
- 3
  Announce to the panel the facts that you are willing to share about the contestant. Usually this is the person's occupation or a part of their life that is outstanding enough to get them on the show.
- 4
  Figure out which questions to ask. This is very important, because the panel needs to guess which one is the real person, and the only way is for them to judge by the contestants' answers.
- 5
  Reveal the real person. After the panel votes, the real person stands up, and the other two identify their true selves. Prize money is given based on the number of wrong answers from the panel.
- 6
  Play along--the game still appears on the Game Show network--and see if you can spot the person who is telling the truth. It is interesting if you can outwit the panel. If you play "To Tell the Truth" enough, you will be able to pick up the impostors every time.
