Two truths, one lie

Overview

Not to be confused with the similarly titled episode.
“Tomorrow is April 1st. A highly unpredictable day. Except here in Denmark it ALREADY April 1st. In which case when I said that tomorrow is April 1st it may be a lie ... and it may be a highly predicable day. And is it May?!?!

Mwooaaaahahahaha! (I'll go to bed now).”

Two truths, one lie is a tradition amongst the Ninjago team held every April 1st (purposefully in line with April Fools), where a member/members of the team post a message on social media with two truthful statements, and one false statement about the currently upcoming Ninjago season/instalment. Formerly, Tommy Andreasen would deliver the message, and currently, Chris "Doc" Wyatt and Kevin Burke each post one set of statements. Statements were formerly posted to X, but are now also posted to Bluesky.
