Pitch The Room
Sell the room a product nobody wants.
Infomercial format. You get a product with no market and four slides to sell it: the product, a problem nobody knew they had, ridiculous pricing, and a closing offer. The room rates whether they'd actually buy it.
How it works
- 1.Everyone gets a different unsellable product
- 2.Invent a problem it solves
- 3.Make the pricing ridiculous
- 4.End with a hard sell
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.
