Are You Game? | |  Inspired by Liar Game, a popular Japanese drama and movie, LiarGame is a test of trust where the minority wins the majority. It has simple rules but diverse game plays. As a game with experimental scientific significance, LiarGame reflects the loyalty and betrayal, trust and fraud in real society and human nature.
LiarGame is a game where the minority wins the majority. There are two teams in the game, Blue and Red. Unlike Fomo3D, the two teams battle each other and final victory doesn't belong to one person, but to the team with less tickets accumulated in the prize pool. Plus, dividends are paid out to previous buyers for every ticket sold, so the earlier you start the game, the more dividends you will get.
