The host read a description of an unusual object or event, and the contestant chose one prize to put at risk before deciding if the story was true ("fact") or false ("fib").
Questions in this round were on the buzzer, and each contained clues to an answer with a double meaning.
The first question was open to all three contestants, and the first to respond correctly gained the right to challenge one opponent.
The challenging contestant selected one category from a list of six, then chose one of the opponent's prizes and put up one or more of their own that totalled the same number of stars.
If the contestant had accumulated at least 100 stars after four questions, they could either end the game at that point or try for the top prize.
In the latter case, they had 10 seconds to answer once the host asked the fifth question, and a miss cost them all the bonus prizes.
