Why This Works

Fact or Fiction content taps into our natural curiosity and love for friendly debate. When community members are presented with a statement that could be true or false, they are compelled to participate by sharing their guesses, personal experiences, or knowledge. This format also invites members at all engagement levels to join in, since everyone has an opinion or a hunch, regardless of expertise.

These prompts create opportunities for both quick interactions and deeper discussions. Members may simply vote or comment, or they may share stories and sources that support their answers. By revealing the answer or encouraging follow-up discussion, you help your community learn together while boosting overall activity and camaraderie.
