How to play Fake or Real

  1. 1

    Fill in your blanks on your phone as usual.

  2. 2

    The AI writes the story, and secretly adds an answer of its own that looks just like a player's.

  3. 3

    Every answer from the story appears on your phone. Pick the one you think is fake.

  4. 4

    Spot the fake to score. If people pick your real answer as the fake, you score for being that strange.

Tips to win

  • The fake is written to blend in, so look for answers that are a little too neat.
  • Weird answers are a strategy here: get picked as the fake and you still score.
