Kick-starting the game involves brainstorming and jotting down a variety of random topics, which are then cut out and tossed into a hat. The class is then divided into teams, and the first round commences with a team selecting their “Expert”. Ideally, a stronger student should take on the expert role first, setting a vibrant precedent for others. The expert then randomly picks a topic from the hat, and with the timer set, they introduce themselves and their expertise. Now the fun begins, as the audience dives in with a barrage of questions related to the topic, trying to trip the “Expert” into a lie.

Advanced students can elevate the game by framing more complex or binding questions. An audience member calling out an “Expert” on a false lie retires from questioning for that round. However, if an “Expert” is caught in a lie, the timer halts, and the remaining time is noted. The game toggles between teams, keeping the enthusiasm alive but capped just before it nears the border of monotony. At the culmination, the remaining time totals are summed up, and ironically, the team with the least total time emerges as the victor. Ask the “Expert” not only serves as a lively interactive session but also nurtures students' spontaneous thinking and articulation skills in a fun, low-pressure setting.
