ok so im new to the game and yesterday i dedided to finally try out some stuff.
i was in a bar with my friend and i decided to see if i could pull the 5 lie game on people and get some free pints. so as i walked through the bar i passed a table of 4, 2 guys and 2girls, i turned to them using impermanent body language, talking over my shoulder.
"hey guys, iv just got to get back to my friends in a sec (false time constraint) but i was wondering if u lot are up for a game" at this point i was talking more directly to the women then i realised and gave eye contact to the males aswell. they agreed to challenge of the game and i went on to explain.
when on the 4 question i hesitated intentionally (which i think is key) with a sort of confused question of "how many questions are we on now?" however the girl caught on and said "8" i immediately followed up with "oh so u'v played this before?". her "no never!"... "ill have a pint of Erdinger please"
she caught on and accepted however because i had payed most of the attention to this one girl now her friends wer less kean on her buying us this drinks. she attempted to stop her friend because she thought she had been cheated! (which she sorta had ) here i didnt reali know how to respond to get her on my side. she bought the drink in the end though so was all good! was wondering what i could have said to her friend to make her think it was ok i was playing a lil trick on them? mayb i should have kept the eye contact more equal and qualified myself with the males of the group first before the women.
anyways i played the game another 2 times and got a 3 out of 2 success rate. i wasnt just out there for free booze, (well... partially) but it was a great way to interact with previously unopened groups of people.
i would have never tried this without the knowledge from this site!

i know it was only a small step into this world and didn't realy escalate to the next level on the night. (most of the people we approached wer around 25-30 and im only 18) i already feel a lot more confident from this experience and reali want to submerge myself in this stuff to get right to the core!
let me know what u think?
ill keep u lot updated when i take the next steps!
Cheers, starve

The 5 lie game is more often than not an attraction game, but it obviously work as an opener!

I'm not a big fan of opening mixed sets...but the few that I have, I have always had better luck when I opened the guys primarily! If you can either befriend the guys or AMOG then the womens shields will usually go down a lot easier.

I would stick with a regular opener and save this for when you've already got them hooked!

BOATS AND HOES!!!

I have successfully used the 5 question game a few times, but i usually save it to get girls into comfort level to play around with them a bit... let them know ur clever, ect... from what it sounds, u had the attention from the group, but u said there was 2 girls 2 guys... u had to then give ur target a little neg when she felt cheated and ask how everyone knows each other, because unless u can pick up someone's gf ur getting nothing but a free beer out of it... anyways keep up the fun and thanks for the idea on getting free beer by using it as an opener... lol

I'm not sure I would use the 5 lies as an opener with the intention of getting beer out of it unless it's with the guys. What I like to do is use my tricks and games on the guys and once I'm well liked by the men I ask "how do you all know each other?" I would think that this is pretty important to ask when you have equal numbers of men and women so you know what situation you're dealing with.

One night I noticed a 5 set with 2 guys and 3 girls, I waited and approached the guys when they were at the bar. I showed them some bar tricks and they offered to buy me a shot, after the shot came I ordered three beers and handed them each one to show that I was a good sport and ask how they knew each other pretending I didn't know they were with the girls. "We're brothers and that's my sister and her friends. They're here for the weekend from Florida, come on I'll introduce you"

This is a great way to get sets going if you go out alone.
