To recreate the public speaking game "slideshow karaoke" or "battle decks", a widely popular game at hackathons, icebreakers, and other events.
There are two roles:
- Presenter(s):
- Your goal is to present a slide deck that no one has ever seen before. You (and your partner, if applicable) are to sell this presentation. Make believe you're a TED speaker, and that you wrote this slide deck weeks in advance.
- Do your absolute best to not get thrown off. Expect the unexpected.
- Controller:
- Your goal is to throw off the presenter(s). You don't have a lot of ways to do this. The first is by topic choice - come up with a random, but simple topic to seed the slide generator. The second is by speed - you control the tempo. Mix up long awkward pauses and quick slide changes to throw off your presenter's rhythm. Everyone's role is to have fun and have a lot of laughs - trust me, the larger the crowd, the funnier this gets. Keep it clean. Think on the fly.
Simply click Start, enter a Presentation "topic", select the number of slides, and Submit! You may use arrow keys to navigate. Playing full-screen with a projector is highly recommended.
