Whose Slide Is It Anyway — improv slideshow karaoke.
An improv presentation game for all-hands segments and team offsites. Players deliver a talk on a fictitious topic using surprise slides they've never seen before.
Only the facilitator signs in. Participants just join.
How it works
Take turns improvising a talk based on a fictitious topic, surprise slides, and zero preparation time. Fun, witty, serious or soul-searching? You decide.
Why this works
Improvising over slides you didn't make is hard, which is exactly why it lands. The audience is rooting for the presenter to make the nonsense work. It also doubles as low-stakes practice for thinking on your feet, which transfers directly to anyone who presents under pressure in their day job.
What facilitators say
It produces real laughter without anyone needing to prepare anything. The improvisation is the content, so the facilitator has nothing to write or curate in advance.
Where it lands
Who it's for
- All-hands social segments after a main agenda
- Team offsites looking for a higher-energy activity
- Teams that present regularly and want low-stakes improv practice
- Workshop openers for creative or communications teams
Best for
- 10-minute all-hands closer after a strategic update
- Offsite evening social for a team comfortable with performance
- Workshop warm-up for a communications or sales team
- End-of-quarter team meeting closer
When not to use this game
Skip it for teams where more than a couple of people have presentation anxiety. Being put on the spot in front of colleagues without preparation is the entire mechanic, and that's uncomfortable rather than fun for people who already dread public speaking. Gauge the room first.
Facilitator script
You'll be presenting on a topic you've just been given using slides you've never seen. You have about a minute. Make it up as you go. We're rooting for you.
