Summary
PowerPoint Karaoke is an improv game where volunteers present slide decks they've never laid eyes on. And they do it in front of a live audience. The fun is interpreting those mystery slides on the spot, as if you'd rehearsed for weeks. It's wonderful practice for thinking on your feet and staying cool while the unexpected pops up.
How to Play
- Volunteers take turns presenting slide decks they've never seen, in front of a live audience.
- Often the slides auto-advance every 15-20 seconds.
Required Materials
- Slide decks no volunteer has seen before, a live audience, and (implied) a projector or screen. It's remote-friendly too.
Purpose
Variations
- Taboo PowerPoint Karaoke: Presenters cannot use specific "taboo" words related to the slides.
- PowerPoint Against Humanity: Players insert disruptive slides into opponents' decks.
- PowerPecha: Presenting a real topic but in the constrained Pecha Kucha style (e.g., 20 slides, 20 seconds each).
- Battle Decks: Another name for the same game, often used in corporate settings.
