Why Play This Game?
""Talk is Cheap"" is a hilarious, high-stakes game where bold claims meet real consequences. Participants will be asked if they can do something or if they know something, and their answer is just the beginning.

Talk is Cheap is: 
• Fun and unpredictable—everyone’s on the edge of their seat
• Replayable in multiple formats—individual, group, or head-to-head
• A great strategy game—play it safe or go for glory?
• A social game—you’ll learn weird, cool, and surprising things about each other
• Packed with suspense—especially when a student says “yes” but hopes they don’t have to prove it...

How to Play: 
• Participants are asked 10 yes/no questions about their skills or knowledge.
• Each time they answer “yes,” they earn 2 points.
• Then, flip a coin (or use a 50/50 tool): If they win the flip, they can either keep their 2 points or prove their answer for another two points. If they lose the coin flip, they MUST try to prove their answer. 
• If they are unable to prove your answer, they lose 4 points. 
• If they reach 20 points, they win! 

Students have to decide:
“Do I really know this? Can I actually do that? Or am I just hoping I don’t get caught bluffing?”

That moment of decision is what makes the game both challenging and super entertaining.
