# Use the True or False slide
> One statement, two big cards, a shared countdown — the fastest correct answers score. Here's how to build a True or False slide 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. It is a scored quiz slide that always has a correct side and awards points, so for an opinion question with no correct answer use a [Poll slide](/using-slide-types/creating-a-poll-question-on-ahaslides) instead.

## Create a True or False slide
Click **New slide** in the editor and pick **True or False**.
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.
Choose whether **True** or **False** is right — that's the card that takes centre stage and scores when the round ends.
"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.
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 (see [True or False settings](#true-or-false-settings)).
## Present a True or False slide
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.
On the big screen, the two cards stay readable from the back of the room while a countdown and the join QR code sit alongside them.
On their phones, participants swipe the question card left for **True** or right for **False**, or tap the teal **True** or crimson **False** button, before the timer runs out. When the round closes, the correct side is revealed, points are awarded by speed, and the leaderboard updates.
## True or False settings
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.
| Setting | What it does | Default |

| Points | The maximum and minimum points a correct answer can earn. With the speed bonus off, every correct answer earns the maximum. | — |
| Faster answers get more points | A correct answer's score decays from the maximum towards the minimum as the timer runs, so quicker voters earn more. | On |
| Time limit | How many seconds participants have to vote before the round closes and the correct card is revealed, from 5 to 1200 seconds. | — |
| Leaderboard | Ranks players by their running score after the round. | — |
## Ideas for using True or False
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:
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.)
Confirm a policy, product, or compliance point actually landed — instantly, with a score to back it up. *"Our refund window is 30 days."*
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."*
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."*
Trivia nights, myth-busting, "would you believe it" rounds — zero prep, all energy. *"Honey never spoils."* (It's true.)
## Frequently asked questions
### Can I use True or False 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 True or False 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 to True or False?
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.
