The bit everyone gets wrong
The writer does not vote — they already know. Make all three the same kind of thing, or the lie is obvious.

The rules
5 steps.
- One player gets the frame and writes three statements about themselves.
- They mark one as the lie. Nobody else sees which.
- Everyone else votes for the one they think is made up.
- A point for spotting the lie, and a point to the writer for everyone they fooled.
- The next player takes the chair.
What the phone does
The phone hides which statement was flagged until the vote closes, and sits the writer out of their own round.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
