    Word for Russian lying-game

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by evild4ve, Aug 4, 2022.

    I remember a Russian film called 4, which I've been able to find - it's from 2004

    In the first half, some people in a bar play a lying-game. The wikipedia article isn't quite how I remember it - the idea is that you take it turns to tell a bigger lie than the person before. (And in the film the joke is the last person was telling the truth - they really have escaped from a Soviet cloning project.)

    My question is just does that game have a name? In any language
    Watching it, I had the sense it was like a familiar playground game that didn't need any set-up

    I don't know but you may want to put a warning that the image in the link is mildly NSFW.

    Nah, I don't really. I've removed the link instead and people can be unaware - screw them
