Why This Works

Fact or Fiction prompts engage members by challenging their assumptions and inviting them to test their knowledge. This format triggers natural curiosity and encourages even hesitant members to join in, as everyone loves to guess and discuss surprising truths or debunk common myths.

By anchoring these prompts in copywriting, you create a shared learning experience that is both fun and educational. Members learn from each other, share expertise, and connect over industry quirks, building a stronger sense of community. The interactive nature of Fact or Fiction also drives repeat participation, as people return to see if they were right and to weigh in on new topics.
