Summary

This is a twist on PowerPoint Karaoke with one extra constraint: presenters can't use certain "taboo" words tied to the slides they're presenting. That ups the challenge, pushing you to get even more creative with your descriptions and explanations.

How to Play

  • Play it just like PowerPoint Karaoke, but with a list of forbidden words for each presentation.

Required Materials

  • Slide decks, plus a list of taboo words for each deck.

Purpose

It dials up the challenge of PowerPoint Karaoke with a verbal constraint, nudging you toward more creative, roundabout communication.
