5 Ways to Improve Your Score at Artificially Incorrect

Most players get it wrong at least once in their first few rounds. The AI lies in Artificially Incorrect are designed to be convincing — they're based on real facts with one subtle detail changed. But there are patterns, and once you know what to look for, your score will improve fast.

1. Look for the statement that sounds almost too specific

AI lies tend to change one precise detail — a number, a date, a location, or a name — while leaving the rest of the sentence believable. That often makes the false statement sound more authoritative than the truths, because specificity feels like proof. If one line has a very concrete claim that nags at you compared with what you vaguely remember from school, a documentary, or the news, pause there. Truths in this game are usually grounded in well-known facts and can feel a little broader or more "obviously" true; lies often over-specify just enough to sell the fiction. When two statements feel equally plausible, ask which one is carrying an extra digit, an unusual year, or a place name that seems one notch too confident. That extra polish is frequently where the lie hides.

2. Trust your gut on the first read

Your first instinct is often right. The lie is designed to make you second-guess yourself after you've had time to think. Many players report switching from a correct answer to an incorrect one during that second pass, when doubt creeps in and the false statement starts to sound more reasonable than it should. A practical approach: read all three statements once, in order, without tapping anything. Notice which one your brain flags before you rationalize. Then read them again if you want — but treat that first flag as evidence, not noise. Committing to a quick, confident choice beats spiraling into analysis paralysis, especially when all three lines are written to sound credible. The game rewards decisiveness as much as knowledge.

3. Eliminate the most obviously true statement first

In most rounds there is one statement that is clearly true to anyone with basic knowledge of the topic — the kind of fact you would bet on in a pub quiz. Find that line and mentally set it aside. You are not trying to prove the lie first; you are shrinking the problem. Once the strongest truth is off the table, you are choosing between two statements instead of three, which moves you from a one-in-three guess to a fifty-fifty decision. From there, compare what's left using the specificity test and your gut read. Elimination is underrated because it feels less clever than "solving" the lie directly, but it is one of the fastest ways to stabilize your score across five rounds.

4. Pay attention to the topic category

The game covers a wide range of topics — science, history, geography, sport, pop culture, and more. You will naturally perform better in categories where you already have hooks in your memory: names you recognize, timelines you have seen before, or facts you have encountered twice. When a topic lands in your wheelhouse, you can afford to be more confident in your eliminations and your first read. When the topic is outside your comfort zone, be more suspicious of the statement that sounds the most polished or authoritative — confident tone is easier to fake than deep domain knowledge, and a lie can borrow that tone cheaply. Adjusting your skepticism by category is not cheating; it is calibration. The best players know when they are playing from strength and when they need to slow down.

5. Review the explanations after every round

After each round the game shows you exactly why the lie was false and why each truth holds up. Players who skim this miss the fastest coaching loop in the entire experience. Read the explanations carefully, even on rounds you aced, because they reveal how the AI tends to twist facts — which details it swaps, how it keeps the surrounding context accurate, and how the truths are balanced against the lie. Over days and weeks, those patterns become intuition. Treat the explanation screen as deliberate practice, not as mere feedback. The more you connect "I missed this" to "here is the structural trick," the less often you will miss the same shape of lie again.
