How to play Fake or fact

Each round shows two statements. One is true and one is false. Tap the false one, then read the explanation before moving on. Daily mode gives five rounds per day and your score decides whether your streak continues.

Tips

Watch for numbers that sound too round or too perfect
Geography and history facts are common traps, trust your gut on place names
If two statements seem close, look for the one with the shakier detail
Come back tomorrow for five fresh rounds
