A '''truth field''' was an energy field within which it was impossible to tell a lie. The Doctor encountered one near the bell tower in the town of [[Christmas (town)|Christmas]] on [[Trenzalore]]. The field emanated from a residual [[crack]] in space-time along with [[the Question]], both transmitted by the [[Time Lord]]s from outside the universe with the purpose of verifying the Doctor's identity.
 
 
The Doctor told [[Clara Oswald]] that he had encountered truth fields before, calling it a "quaint" technology. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')

The Truth Field was a field in the town of Christmas on the planet Trenzalore . It caused the inhabitants of the town to tell the truth at all times, and could be the cause of embarrassment. It was said to be stronger and more powerful the closer one was to the tower.

It was later revealed to be the work of the Time Lords, acting through a crack in time and space inside the tower. Seeking to return to the universe, but not wanting to risk harm to themselves, they created a scenario where all of the universe would hear a message they couldn't translate and be drawn to Trenzalore. That message, eventually translated, would ask simply: "Doctor Who"? If the Doctor answered, and did so truthfully due to the truth field, the Time Lords would know it was safe to return to the universe through the crack.
