History

There was a day when someone decided that they needed to confess something, to unburden their hearts at last and set the truth of their self-free. That wasn’t this holiday. This holiday is made for pranksters, for those who maybe want to know what their friends and coworkers think of them. Perhaps it’s a day for those who face the world with everyone knowing what to expect of them, and maybe they feel just a little boring. Wherever you fall, False Confession Day is your chance to blow their minds by telling them a little story that’s false and calling it a confession.

False Confessions have many purposes, but most of the time their primary goal is to shock and awe those you confess to. You can use it to find the truth in what others think of you by telling them something about yourself that, while patently false, may be widely believed. Their response will reveal everything you need to know about what they think. Maybe you want to spice up a strangers day by confessing something shocking to them, and that will leave them thinking the rest of the day.
