Lie detector questions for couples, friends and parties

Good lie detector questions are personal enough to be funny but never cruel. Pick a few below, take turns answering out loud, and let the AI give its verdict. Ask open questions that need a story, not just "yes" or "no" — there's more to read.

Questions for couples

  • What did you really think of me the first time we met?
  • Have you ever pretended to like a gift I gave you?
  • Have you ever checked my phone?
  • Is there a meal I make that you secretly don't like?
  • Have you ever lied about where you were to get some alone time?
  • Who was your celebrity crush while we've been together?

Questions for friends

  • Have you ever cancelled plans with me and said you were sick when you weren't?
  • Which friend in this group do you text the most?
  • Have you ever told someone a secret I asked you to keep?
  • What's the worst thing you've said about me behind my back?
  • Have you ever re-gifted something I gave you?
  • Have you ever pretended to have watched a show I recommended?

Party and game-night questions

  • What's the most embarrassing thing you've searched online this month?
  • Have you ever blamed a smell on someone else?
  • Have you ever lied in a game to win?
  • Have you ever eaten food off the floor and kept going?
  • What's a talent you claim to have but don't?
  • Have you ever faked laughing at someone's joke in this room?

How to play fair

  • Agree on topics that are off-limits before you start.
  • Let each person decide secretly whether to tell the truth or lie, then reveal after the verdict.
  • Keep score of who fooled the AI — and who got caught.
  • Remember it's a game: no tool can truly detect lies. Read our signs of lying guide for what research actually shows.
