Pitch The Room
Sell something nobody here wants. They cannot leave.
Infomercial rules. You've been handed a product with no market and four slides to move it: the product, a pain nobody knew they had, insulting pricing, and a closing offer. The room rates you on whether they'd actually buy.
How it works
- 1.Everyone gets a different unsellable product
- 2.Invent a problem it solves
- 3.Pricing must be genuinely offensive
- 4.Close hard โ there is no second pitch
Your deck is already started
Nobody starts at a blank white slide. Every player gets these 4 slides pre-laid-out in the Clean Deck theme, with a prompt on each one telling you what goes there.
