How to Play Truth Train
- Read the fact card and choose True for the left track or False for the right track
- Answer with a button, tap the matching track, or use Left, A or 1 for True and Right, D or 2 for False
- You have 30 seconds for each fact. The timer pauses while the tab is hidden or the pause menu is open
- A correct answer sends the train down your chosen track, shows the verdict and explanation, raises your streak, then offers a choice of 2 perks
- A wrong answer or timeout is a mistake. Insurance is used first, then Lucky Clover may save a life; otherwise you lose a life, which is a wagon, and your streak resets
- Spend a Fork to reveal the answer and explanation, take the right track and keep your streak without raising it; a skip does not lead to a perk choice
Distance
Distance is your score in meters. Every fact adds distance based on its difficulty, your streak and your active perks
- A correct answer uses difficulty factors of ×1, ×1.5 or ×2 for levels 1, 2 or 3, a streak multiplier from ×1 to ×3, and any Turbo or Express bonus. The result is rounded to a whole meter
- A skip uses your current streak, with a minimum ×1 multiplier, and fact difficulty. It keeps your streak but does not raise it, and Express does not apply
- A mistake the run survives adds 100, 150 or 200 m for difficulty 1, 2 or 3. Your streak resets unless Insurance protects it
- Coal adds 300 m at once
