Truth or Lies is a 2010 party video game that uses a microphone peripheral to score players on their response to in-game questions.[2] The game was developed by Big Ant Studios and published by THQ for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. A version for iPhone with the same name released and was published by HandyGames under their parent company THQ on February 15, 2011.[5][1]
The main game mode has 5 categories; kids, teens, adults, couples, and families, each changing what types of questions are asked. There are 3 game length options, short, medium, and long, changing the number of questions asked per round. There are 3 rounds per game with each player answering a set number of questions per round. There are more than 3,000 unique questions throughout the game categories. The game listens to the player's voice through the Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone or Logitech USB Microphone respectively, using voice calibration to determine if the audio is a truth or lie.[6] The player is awarded anywhere between 0 and 1,000 points. At the end of each round, the announcer scores all players based on the number of points earned. At the end of the third and final round, all the points are accumulated as the announcer ranks each player from last to first, giving them a ranking on how well they performed. Hot Seat is an additional mode without the narrator asking questions. The mode is intended for players in the room to ask each other questions, with the game only deciding if players told a truth or lie, awarding points without determining a winner.[7]
