# How to Use the True or False Slide in AhaSlides

> One statement, two big cards, a shared countdown — the fastest correct answers score. Here's how to build a True or False slide that lands, and where it works best.

Nothing sharpens a room like a bold claim and a ticking clock. True or False is the quickest way to turn a fact into a moment everyone commits to — this guide walks you through building one that lands, then shows where it earns its place, from the classroom to meetings, events, and pure fun.

## How to create a successful True or False slide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the slide">
    Click **New slide** in the editor and pick **True or False**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write a statement worth debating">
    Type your claim into **Your question** as a flat statement, not a question. The best ones are surprising, or widely believed but wrong, so the room genuinely splits — "The Great Wall of China is visible from space with the naked eye." Keep it to one claim per slide.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark the correct side">
    Choose whether **True** or **False** is right — that's the card that takes centre stage and scores when the round ends.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Relabel the cards (optional)">
    "True" and "False" are just the default labels — you can rename both cards to fit your topic: **Fact** / **Myth**, **For** / **Against**, **Pass** / **Fail**, or **Compiles** / **Broken** for a code round. You still mark one side as the correct, points-winning answer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a tight timer and points">
    A short countdown of 15–30 seconds keeps the energy up, and the speed bonus rewards quick thinking. Tune the timer, points, and [leaderboard](/features-and-functions/adding-and-deleting-a-leaderboard-on-your-quiz) in the slide's **Points** and **Time limit** panels (details below).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview, then present">
    Click **Preview** to rehearse, then **Present**. Participants join at the access code on screen, tap their answer before the countdown ends, and see the correct card revealed with their place on the leaderboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Why use it, and where it works best

True or False is faster to set up than a two-option multiple-choice question — you write one statement and mark the correct side, nothing more. That low effort is exactly why it fits so many rooms; here's a statement you can borrow for each:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Classroom icebreaker or knowledge check" icon="graduation-cap">
    Open a lesson with a quick icebreaker, or close it with an end-of-lesson test that reveals who's got it — the same slide works either way. *"Photosynthesis only happens in a plant's leaves."* (False.)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Training and onboarding" icon="briefcase">
    Confirm a policy, product, or compliance point actually landed — instantly, with a score to back it up. *"Our refund window is 30 days."*
  </Card>

  <Card title="Meetings" icon="users">
    Break up a long update with a fast, scored question that pulls a distracted room back in. *"We closed more deals this quarter than last."*
  </Card>

  <Card title="Events and conferences" icon="microphone">
    Warm up a big audience — the two cards read in a second from the back of the hall, so hundreds can play at once. *"This city is older than Rome."*
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fun and trivia" icon="party-horn">
    Trivia nights, myth-busting, "would you believe it" rounds — zero prep, all energy. *"Honey never spoils."* (It's true.)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Quiz settings and scoring

True or False reuses the same scoring controls as every AhaSlides quiz slide, so they live in the slide's [quiz settings](/using-slide-types/quiz-settings-on-ahaslides) rather than a dedicated panel:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Points">
    Set the maximum and minimum points a correct answer can earn. With the speed bonus off, every correct answer earns the maximum.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Faster answers get more points">
    On by default. A correct answer's score decays from the maximum towards the minimum as the timer runs, so quicker voters earn more.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Time limit">
    How many seconds participants have to vote before the round closes and the correct card is revealed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Leaderboard">
    Turn on a leaderboard to rank players by their running score after the round.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I use it for a vote with no right answer?

No — True or False always crowns a correct side and awards points. For an opinion split where you just want to see how the room leans, use a [poll](/using-slide-types/creating-a-poll-question-on-ahaslides) instead.

### Can I add an image to the statement?

Yes — attach a reference image with the slide's question-image picker, the same one used across the quiz slides, so the room can weigh the picture before voting.

### Can I add more than two options?

No — True or False is deliberately two cards. For three or more choices, use a [Pick Answer](/using-slide-types/using-the-pick-answer-slide) quiz slide.
