Mastering the Art of a Successful Video Game Pitch: A Guide for Indie Game Developers

• Last Modified: February 24, 2023

Share this post

A video game pitch is a critical aspect of the development process for indie game developers. It is a presentation that showcases the concept, design, and plans for a video game and is used to secure investment or win pitch competitions. A well-crafted pitch can be the key to success, making it an important tool for any indie game developer. This article delves into the “core” of what makes a successful video game pitch, providing tips, best practices, and examples to help you create a pitch that will impress investors and win competitions.

Key aspects

To build a winning pitch, it’s essential to focus on these key components to showcase the potential of your game.

• Game concept : explain the main idea and inspiration behind the game, the core mechanics and gameplay. Be sure to highlight the unique elements of your game that will make it stand out from others in the market.
• Target audience : describe the group of players that the game is meant for. This will help potential investors understand the market you’re targeting and the potential for success.
• Competition and unique selling points: highlight the game’s unique features, setting it apart from similar games and how it stands out from the competition. This will help you demonstrate why your game is worth investing in.

(For these first three points above, I strongly recommend to read more about creating a business model and a competitive analysis . After then, you’ll be able to include these aspects from your reasearch into the pitch deck.)

• Team : introduce the team members, their skills and experience in the industry, and the roles they play in the game’s development. This will help potential investors understand the level of expertise and experience behind the game’s development.
• Traction and development plan: give an overview of the progress made on the game so far, and a plan on how to move forward in the future. This will help potential investors understand the current state of the game and the potential for future development.
• Call to action : what you want the listener to do after hearing your pitch, whether it be investing, giving feedback or further discussion.
• Include a slide at the end of your presentation that provides a way for the audience and potential investors to contact you.

To craft an effective indie game pitch, it’s important to keep the following tips in mind:

• Keep it short and sweet with approximately 10 slides
• Practice until you can deliver the pitch in less than five minutes.
• Create an attractive/stunning presentation with a trailer and engaging design and graphics: Use trailers, screenshots, artworks, charcters and other visual materials to help tell the story of your game and make it more engaging.

Keep in mind that for a live presentation, you should focus on incorporating more visual elements and keep the text minimal. However, if sending a pitch via email, a greater amount of text will be necessary. The content below should serve as an example of a script for a live presentation, rather than the text that should appear on the actual pitch slides. Here is an example of a live pitch for a fictive game called “Sapiens”.

Game concept example : Our game, Sapiens, is a deep simulation and management game that follows the history of Homo Sapiens society. Players will start from the early days of humanity and guide the evolution of their civilization through various challenges and milestones. The core gameplay revolves around resource management, diplomacy, and technological advancement, allowing players to experience the challenges and triumphs of humanity’s journey. The unique twist is that the game incorporates historical events and discoveries, giving players an educational experience while still having the freedom to make their own decisions and shape their own civilization. Our vision for Sapiens is to bring history to life in a new and exciting way and to give players a deep understanding of humanity’s journey.

Target audience example: Our game is targeted towards history enthusiasts, strategy gamers, and fans of deep simulation and management games. Players who are interested in learning about the evolution of Homo Sapiens society and the impact of their decisions on the course of history will find this game especially appealing. These players want to experience the thrill of managing a society from its earliest beginnings to the modern era and are looking for a game that offers a complex, immersive and challenging experience.

Competition and unique selling points example : Sapiens is a deep simulation and management game that follows the history of Homo Sapiens society. It sets itself apart from the competition by offering a unique mix of strategy, resource management, and historical accuracy. The game features a complex AI system that simulates the decisions and actions of civilizations, allowing players to experience the evolution of society in a dynamic and realistic way. Our game stands out from the competition by providing a level of detail and immersion that has never been seen before in a society simulation game, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in strategy and history games.

Team example : Our team is composed of two highly complementary individuals, John Doe and Jane Doe. John is an experienced game designer with a background in anthropology and a passion for simulating complex systems. He has been working in the industry for over 10 years and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. On the other hand, Jane is a talented programmer with a focus on user experience and a passion for storytelling. She has been working in the industry for 5 years and brings a fresh perspective to the project. Together, John and Jane form a dynamic duo, bringing their expertise to the development of Sapiens, from the game design to the coding. They are both dedicated to creating a unique and immersive simulation and management game that follows the history of Homo Sapiens society.

Traction/development plan example: 

So far, we have completed the conceptual design phase of our deep simulation and management game, Sapiens, which follows the history of Homo Sapiens society. We have a team of experienced developers who have worked on similar games, and we have received positive feedback from early play testers. Our plan for the future includes completing the development of the game’s core mechanics, creating a polished user interface, and expanding the game world with additional content and features. By the end of the year, we plan to launch a closed beta test with select players and gather additional feedback to refine the game before a full release. This comprehensive approach to development will ensure that we create a high-quality game that will stand out from similar games on the market.

Call-to-action example: After hearing about our deep simulation and management game, ‘Sapiens,’ we would like you to consider investing in our project. We believe that with your support, we can bring this game to life and provide players with an unforgettable experience while they learn about the history of Homo Sapiens society. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, and we would be happy to discuss the specifics of our investment opportunities. Our goal is to take this game to the next level, and with your help, we can make that happen.

What’s next?

This article offers a detailed way for creating a compelling pitch for your indie game. However, it is essential to remember that the pitch is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is a vast amount of information that you need to collect and analyze to make a successful presentation – and for the success of your game too! Therefore, I recommend that you continue reading and supplement your knowledge with these two articles, which will aid you in refining your pitch creation process.

How to Pitch Your Video Game: From Concept to Presentation

When you want to pitch a video game, you want everything to be perfect. A video game pitch is an opportunity to present your game in the best light to investors, publishers, or stakeholders. When it comes to trying to create an idea for a game, you first have to take a deep look at what are you going to pitch – that means reading through the request for proposal. The most important thing when you pitch a video game is to understand what the target audience is expecting from you. In order to impress them and for your video game pitch to reach its goal, you need to know some basic concepts. Usually, creating a PowerPoint presentation is the most used video game pitch method. To catch the attention of your audience, the presentation must be compelling, contain attractive visuals that make them curious and interested. Also, in the content of your video game pitch, you need to provide insights, explain why you made certain design choices (especially the ones that may deviate most from what the audience originally imagined), narrate how you expect players to interact and react to the game, and show you put thought and effort into developing this pitch.

First: know your audience. To know exactly what information to put in your video game pitch, you need to know who you are addressing. For example, your presentation could be attended by the head of the production who wants to know if your team is competent to make the game, the marketing director wants explanations why your game could be interesting, the technologist wants to know the technical way how to create the game, and the project manager wants to know the total costs.

Tip: Everyone has their own expectations, so be sure that your video game pitch will address them all.

Generating ideas. You need to be able to iterate quickly over different game ideas, so what you’re going to do here is to create a filter through which to pass all ideas. Here is where the brainstorming areas usually happen: try to mix and match ideas and to go with any of them that could fit into the game. Then you pass the ideas through the filter itself.

Content balance. When you pitch a video game, make sure your slides are not full of text. There will be no time to read the whole text, and they will not find it interesting anyway. Also, you don’t want the presentation to contain only images and graphics, no text. At some point, people will need information so it’s good to keep a balance between the two. You can see below a good example that keeps this balance.

Content order. One thing you need to keep in mind when you pitch a video game is to have in mind a really well-constructed idea about the game. You need this in order to be able to convey the idea in a structured way so that the audience understands the message correctly.

Tip : Start with the obvious, build bit by bit, and re-read your whole pitch over and over, and make sure it’s understandable from the bottom up.

The main content sections that you like to put into your video game pitch.

• Game Outline : Give an overview of what the game is, what it is trying to accomplish, and explain how it is going to face the challenges. Write 1 or 2 short paragraphs and include images.
• Fact Sheet : A breakdown of the hard facts that put the game in context.
• References / Competitors : Write about what other games are similar, what is borrowed from them, and what you are improving.
• USP : Make a bullet list of what makes your game unique. Doesn’t have to be a long list, just around 3-4 points will suffice.
• Core Mechanics : Explain what are the game mechanics, how they help the game achieve its goal, and how will they play out.
• Metagame / Progression Systems : Explain why will players keep playing the game and how does this system connect with core gameplay and theme.
• Core Loop : Write about how core mechanics and metagame progressions system connect. You can use a simplified graphic representation.
• Game Economy : Make a brief description of how the game economy will work, how it will evolve with game cycles, and how it will affect the gameplay experience.
• Monetization : Start by describing the monetization strategy of the game and also, describe each monetization area. It would be very useful to provide examples .

PRESENTATION

Be confident. There are a few things to keep in mind during your video game pitch. Such as: to convey trust. Do not hesitate to send your ideas with confidence, because the client may think that the idea is not so good. Show the audience that you believe in the product and that you come up with a great proposal, but also show you’re open to their suggestions.

Create dialogue. When you pitch your video game, make sure it is not a kind of monologue. Don’t wait for the end of the presentation to get feedback, but talk directly to them and ask them questions during the presentation. In this way, you will keep their attention and learn about their impression. You will be able to adjust your speech according to what they want to hear and the results will be great.

Ask for Questions. To make sure everything was so clear, it is necessary to ask the audience questions to get extra feedback and encourage proactivity. Do a short recap, and then answer the audience’s questions.

Video Games: An Introduction Paul Skalski, Ph.D. Cleveland State University

Why Video Games? • Facts: • More than $20 billion in sales in U.S. • 77% of households play video games. • Average age of a gamer: 35 years old. • 40% of gamers are women. • Also: Game sales now surpass all movie, music, and DVD sales… • …combined! (Sources: ESA; Goldberg, 2011)

Important Historical Figures • Steve Russell (early 1960s) • Creator of the first computer game, Spacewar! • Ralph Baer (late 1960s) • Inventor of home video game technology. • Nolan Bushnell (1970s) • Founder of the first successful home video game company, Atari. • Shigeru Miyamoto (1980s-present) • Creator of classic games with iconic characters, such as Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Link, and Zelda.

Cultural Effects of Video Games • Case Example: Nintendo and MARIO • The game that launched Nintendo…. • Re-imaginings of the classic. • Mario ROCKS! • Current hit on the nostalgia/novelty circuit. • My favorite piece of new merchandise?

Intended Effects of Video Games • Uses and Gratifications Theory: Designed to lend insight into the ways people use media to meet their needs. • Based on notion of ACTIVE audience. • Focuses on individual motivations for media use. • IMPORTANT: May vary by medium.

Sample Motivations for TV Use • Learning • Surveillance • Habit • Companionship • Arousal • Relaxation • Escape • To Pass Time

Motivations for Video Game Use (Sherry et al., 2006) • 1. Arousal: Playing video games to stimulate emotions as a result of fast action and high quality graphics. • 2. Challenge: Playing games to push self to higher level of skill/personal accomplishment. • 3. Competition: To prove to other people who has the best skills and who can think and react the fastest.

Motivations for Video Game Use (Sherry et al., 2006) • 4. Diversion: Playing to avoid stress or responsibilities. • 5. Fantasy: Playing to do things that one can’t do in real life. • 6. Social Interaction: Using games to interact with friends, family, etc. and learn the personalities of others.

QUESTIONS • Why do YOU play video games? • Can specific games lead to multiple gratifications? • Let’s review popular games now and think of what gratifications they fulfill: • First: Madden football • Second: Tetris! • What about Super Mario Bros.???

Video Game Violence Effects • Unique aspects of video game violence: • 1. Interactivity—the active role of users in decisions to behave aggressively is #1 cause of concern. • 2. First-person point of view. • 3. Rapid, repeated streams of violence. • 4. Lack of consequences/punishments. • 5. Low salience of models, expected to decrease aggressive responses.

Meta Analysis of Video Game Violence Effects Experiments • Sherry (2001) estimated effect size across 25 studies on video games & aggression • Effect size (d = .30) smaller than TV effect size (d = .65) –Paik and Comstock (1994) • However, effect size correlated with year (r = .39) • Effect of violent games on aggression has increased over time.

Death Race (1976)

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Mortal Kombat (2011)

Manhunt 2 (2007)

Other Negative Effects of Games • 1. Verbal Aggression • EXTREME example: Croyt’s Rage • Warning: If you are offended by strong language… earmuffs…. • 2. Addiction/Dependency • 3. Sexual Stereotyping/Body Image • 4. Poor Health/Lack of Fitness

Positive Effects of Video Games • Video games in general have been shown to relate positively to: • Training/Learning • Sociability • Academic Performance (if not excessive) • Physical Fitness (e.g., DDR, Wii, Wii Fit).

Positive Effects of Video Games • Educational video games have been shown to relate positively to: • Learning (esp. in math) • Motivation • Retention Memory • Spatial Skills • Popular examples include….

Yee (2005) social findings • 22.9% of male players and 32% of female players said they told personal issues or secrets to MMORPG friends that they never told to real life friends. • 39.4% of male players and 53% of female players felt their MMORPG friends were comparable to or better than real-life friends. • 5.1% of male players and 15.7% of female players said they had physically dated someone they met in first met in an MMORPG.

GAME OVER Questions? Email: [email protected] Thanks!

In-Between Effect • Excitation Transfer Theory—says general arousal from any source can intensify a subsequent emotional experience and make it more prominent than it would be without the source. • Can go (e.g., joy) or (e.g., anger). • Highly arousing games lead to stronger… • ...as in our GOTD, Left 4 Dead! Thoughts?

Other New Media Technologies • Web 2.0 = a term coined in the middle of this decade to describe the 2nd generation of the World Wide Web, which allows for: • More collaboration. • More information sharing. • Greater ease of use. • Examples of user generated media include: • Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.

This trivia game has questions on many topics to keep your audience's attention and appeal to everyone. It only takes 10-15 minutes to play, so it's a great game for long discussions! Also, this interactive activity is free for up to ten participants and is totally customizable.

2. Sing and Swing 

To really liven up your group, encourage your listeners to play Sing and Swing. This activity is best for long presentations because it boosts energy, creates a fun, light-hearted environment, and makes people laugh a lot. 

Here's how to play: 

• Before your presentation, pick a well-known song and rewrite the chorus (replace parts of it with words and phrases from your presentation) 
• When you're ready to play, show the song on your screen. 
• Invite your audience to sing it with you!

If you have a fun group or a class of energetic students, consider adding choreography to engage your audience even more. 

3. 20 Questions

If you want a presentation game that requires your listeners to talk more than you, 20 Questions is the one to play! A classic and simple activity, this game immediately boosts engagement and gets people laughing. 

Here's how to play: Have someone put an appropriate image or word on the screen behind you (this can be an audience member you trust or a colleague or co-presenter). To make things more fun, put on a blindfold so that everyone knows you can't cheat. From there, ask 20 "yes or no" questions to guess what's displayed on the screen. Your group should respond "yes" or "no" to guide you to the correct answer. 

4. Scavenger Hunt Challenge

To get your audience out of their seats, a scavenger hunt challenge is one of the best interactive games for presentations. It'll immediately energize your audience , team, or students while giving them a fun way to learn.  

There are tons of in-person and virtual scavenger hunt ideas you can use to dive deeper into your topic or help everyone learn about one another. But if you want a ready-to-play game that you can instantly launch without having any tech skills, here's a fun one to play:

• Ask listeners to join the game by using their mobile devices to scan the QR code. Players should continue using their mobile devices to submit answers to questions.

This activity is a particularly fun game because it's a photo-hunt, show-and-tell challenge! That means your audience will not only get out of their seats to find items, but they'll also get to take pictures and share and discuss photos of what they find. This conversational element will help engage your group! 

5. Group Word Clouds

Whether you're speaking to team members, students, or conference-goers, this activity lets you ask questions and get your listeners' thoughts on specific topics. 

This game is the perfect way to start your presentation, especially if you're discussing something with a wide range of opinions or are unsure how much your listeners know about a certain subject. Group Word Clouds is also beneficial if you want to do a quick meeting pulse or know how your listeners feel going into your presentation—understanding their energy levels and mood can help you adjust (if necessary) to get maximum engagement and excitement.

6. The Get to Know You Game

This activity is one of the best presentation games if you have a small group that doesn't really know each other. The Get to Know You Game is a creative way to do introductions, and it's really simple.

Here's how to play the game: Before the event, ask group members to bring a favorite song or item to the presentation (you can do this by emailing them). When you're ready to play, ask each person to introduce themself, present their song or item, and explain why they picked it. For those sharing a song, have them play it on their phones before they explain why it's their favorite. 

7. Live Poll Questions 

When you have a large group, it's not easy to find ways to boost engagement—but poll questions are the solutions, especially when they're live and interactive. With this unique setup, large groups engage by answering questions and seeing their answers displayed in a fun way. 

Your job is to make sure you actually find a game that showcases responses uniquely to captivate your group. For a quick and great option, here's a popular icebreaker activity that promises to display responses using fun formats like word clouds, donut charts, live graphs, and per-player:

This interactive game is a great way to break up your presentation to see who's paying attention and who can answer questions pertaining to your topic. 

• Ask your audience to stand up (for virtual presentations, make sure everyone's video is on). 
• Show true or false statements on the screen one by one. 
• Tell people to raise a hand if they think the statement is correct and sit down if they think it's incorrect.
• Continue until one person is left standing.
• Award the winner. 

This activity can be as short and challenging as you want. Also, if your presentation is long, you can play multiple rounds to break up your speaking time and test your audience throughout your discussion.  

9. Controversial Questions 

Want to see where your audience, students, or team lands on controversial topics? Then, energize your presentation with a fun, creative game called Controversial Questions. This activity has prompts that inspire lively debates, so it's a great way to get your group excited and chatty. 

However, to maintain a positive environment, make sure to find a tool that offers an office-friendly, classroom-friendly, and conference-friendly game. You don't want to sour the mood by creating uncomfortable division during your presentation. To make sure this game is fun and light-hearted, here's a popular one that's suitable for all audiences and ages:

• Should the toilet roll go over or under? 

Players should use their mobile devices to submit answers. Up to ten people can play for free, and you can customize the game by updating the questions!

10. Word of the Day 

With this activity, you can keep your audience, team, or students engaged throughout your entire presentation. This  game requires listeners to be alert and recognize whenever you say the word of the day. 

Here's how to play: At the beginning of your presentation, tell your group the word of the day (it can also be a phrase if you'd prefer). Say that you'll weave the word into your presentation and that your audience must shout it out whenever you mention it. 

11. Mini Activity: Group Icebreaker

Whether you're doing an in-person or virtual presentation, you need to warm up your audience to get things started on a positive note. The best way to do that is with a quick icebreaker game. 

However, make sure your questions are fun, positive, and engaging. You can easily do this by finding a game that already has the best icebreaker questions included. Here's one that's ready to play (and requiring no tech skills to launch):

• Break the ice to warm up your audience!

Your group should use their mobile devices to submit responses to poll questions. Also, this game accommodates up to 250 players, but only ten people can join for free.

12. Process of Elimination 

This activity is one of the best games for presentations because it's simple yet fun and great at helping listeners get to know each other. You can play it at the beginning of your presentation or in the middle to give your group a chance to stretch their legs. 

• Before your event, create a list of "yes or no" questions. 
• Once you're ready to play, tell your group to stand up (if you're doing a virtual presentation, make sure everyone's video is on). 
• Ask each question one by one. 
• Tell attendees to stand if their answer is "yes" and sit if their answer is "no." 

The questions can relate to your topic or be totally random. Also, if you'd prefer to thin out the number of people standing, you can take a creative twist and ask your questions by saying something like this: "Stay standing if (insert scenario)." When phrasing each question this way, the game will end with one person standing. To acknowledge the winner, you can give them a round of applause or award them a prize. 

13. Conference Opener Icebreaker 

If you're speaking at a big conference, you need an interactive game for presentations that can get everyone involved and ensure every voice is heard. To achieve these goals, you should create an icebreaker game that works for large groups . 

Using an easy, intuitive template is the best step to take. That way, you don't have to start from scratch or spend hours making your game. For a template that requires no code or tech-savviness to build on, here's the best option: 

• Sign up by making a free account here: https://slideswith.com/  
• Click on the game. On the next page, click the button to copy and use the deck.

• During your presentation, press "Start Event" in the top right corner.

This template has fun, interactive features built in to keep your large audience engaged. Those features include polls, word clouds, and ratings. Just make sure you sign up for a paid plan to accommodate the large number of people in your group—the free account only works for up to ten players. 

14. Two Truths and a Lie 

This classic game is a fun, energizing way to help your listeners get to know one another. It's perfect for small in-person or virtual groups and is an ideal activity for the beginning of your presentation. 

Here's how to play: Pick any topic (for the purposes of this article, the topic will be "movies"). In no particular order, say two movies you've really watched and one you haven't watched. Ask your audience to guess which statement is the lie. The winner picks the next topic and says two truths and a lie. 

Be Memorable With Presentation Games

Oftentimes, people forget presentations within a week or even days, and that's because the discussions are boring. But you don't work hard preparing a presentation for it to be forgotten. If you want your message to stick, all you have to do is make it enjoyable without being corny.

20 Interactive Presentation Games

• Employee Engagement , Event Planning , Leadership Techniques

Meetings and conferences can be painfully tedious and dull. So much so that the phrase “Death by PowerPoint” has made it into our lexicon. According to Thomas Sowell , an American political economist and commentator, “People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.”

But if the problem with meetings is that they tend to be boring, the solution lies in finding ways to better engage and entertain your audience. You probably know the feeling of sitting in a meeting, trying to pay attention while one person drones on for an hour.

Even if the purpose of the meeting is to train, disseminate new developments, or even get everyone up to speed on weekly goals, engaging your audience creates a motivation to pay attention.

That’s why interactive presentation games are a great way to re-energizing meetings by involving audiences in the presentation. Interactive presentation turn passive listeners into active participants. Games allow the attendees to learn new skills, think of solutions within a short time period, and solve problems together.

‍ MeetingPulse equips your team with the tools and resources to create engaging events. With that in mind, here’s our guide to a few popular interactive presentation games.

‍ Related: Creating a Positive Organizational Culture while working remote

1. Project Jeopardy

This game is designed to make the presentation of reports more fun and interactive. The lead person on the report creates cards that have answers from the report.

For example, the card reads “25%.” The rest of the team is supposed to ask the correct question corresponding to the “25%” answer on the card. The question could be something like, “What was the company revenue growth for the quarter?”

‍ How to play: Give everyone the URL to your MeetingPulse meeting. Display the question on your screen and create multiple choice answers or leave it open-ended. The answers will pop up on the administrator’s screen in real-time, and you can share the answers to see how many people got it right.

2. Idea Box Game

The Idea Box game is excellent for brainstorming meetings where employees can share ideas about a project or product . It helps get the creative juices flowing and might even lead to some usable prototypes. Instead of having one speaker after another speak about their idea, having a team create an idea box creates a space for collaboration to further spark innovation.

‍ How to play: Use the MeetingPulse brainstorming tool to have teams vote and collect feedback about the products. Have each attendee log in to your MeetingPulse link — a virtual Idea Box. Give small groups thirty minutes to brainstorm, then allow submissions.

At the end of the exercise, each team should have the product name, features and functions, marketing taglines, and other vital product details.

Once each team has completed their box they’re invited to share it with the rest of the team who finally vote for the best box. Their ideas will appear on the screen right away, and participants can upvote or downvote in Reddit-style fashion and even submit emoji reactions.

3. The Introduction Game

This game is ideal for a new group of team members meeting for the first time on a mutual project or new hires joining a team. Give the new hires a chance to introduce themselves in an unforgettable manner.

‍ How to play: Ask the new members to bring a personal item or a favorite song. During the meeting, introduce them by letting their song blare for a few minutes on the sound system and then ask them to say something about themselves. If you’re using the personal item, ask them to talk about the item and what it means to them.

4. The talking stick

This activity makes sure that anyone who has a contribution not only gets to do so, but also that they get to speak uninterrupted. Using the talking stick is a great, rapid-fire way to focus the meeting on deep and meaningful contributions.

‍ How to play: Form a circle and make sure everyone’s seated. Before the discussion begins, everyone should agree that the moderator has the power to choose whoever speaks next. Once a member finishes talking, they should put the stick back in the center for the next person.

Use the MeetingPulse audience feedback capability to gain insight right away. Choose up to four emojis and allow your audience to react as they listen to new ideas.

5. Telephone game

The telephone game is used typically as an ice breaker or to liven up a group after a couple of mind-numbing presentations. While it doesn’t really work with a very large group, a sizable number like 10 to 15 people is just right.

‍ How to play: The meeting leader whispers the latest company marketing strategy used to the person on their left who is then supposed to relay the message to the next person and on and on until the last person gets the message.

The last person then gets to tell the rest of the team the final message, and you can compare it to the primary message from the lead.

6. The trivia competition

You can use this game to test the attendees’ trivia knowledge of the company or of general business trends . Create a trivia competition where the members play for points and the winner gets a prize. Project the points for everyone to see the winner.

‍ How to play: Formulate questions related to the company and use them for the trivia test. You can use MeetingPulse to create the questions, and set the timer to begin the game together. To add an extra touch of fun, include images with your multiple choice questions. Visuals add to the level of engagement and give your meetings an extra edge.

7. Fill in the phrase

Check out Meeting Pulse for Cool and creative ways to make polling questions and Quizzes!

‍ This game requires participants to fill in blanks on a survey or report. The survey or report should not be complete until the end of the presentation. This game rewards audiences for listening, and you can even provide some sort of prize.

‍ How to play: Create a report for attendees that has blanks. As you continue with the presentation, invite them to fill in the blanks from the information you are giving. Not only does the audience remain engaged, but they retain crucial information better.

‍ MeetingPulse integrates with Powerpoints , so you can use our single answer polling feature to play this game and display the results directly in your PowerPoint presentation.

8. Word of the day

Have a word of the day game as part of your presentation or meeting. It can be a phrase or a word.

‍ How to play: The presenter should weave the word or phrase into their presentation and the audience acknowledges its use by shouting back. The word must come from the team and not the presenter. This activity keeps everyone alert. Sometimes shouting can be distracting in the middle of a meeting.

In this case, use the MeetingPulse emoji feature, and everyone can submit ? when you use the word “key learnings.”

9. The 20 questions game

You get 20 questions to help you identify a picture that you can’t see, but the audience can. The audience can only lead you with yes or no questions. Use this game to liven up the audience.

‍ How to play: The audience will choose a picture that you can’t see. Have someone submit a photo and display it on the MeetingPulse user dashboard. Get blindfolded and begin to ask questions regarding the picture. You get only twenty questions to get it right.

If you’re an advertising agency, you can use this test your employees’ memory and see if they remember what you worked on. To keep track of all the questions and responses, have the audience choose “yes” or “no” by using a polling tool instead of having them shout it out.

10. Call and response

This game keeps the audience focused. The leader in the meeting calls out a phrase randomly during their presentation and the audience responds to it .

‍ How to play: Agree on the action to be taken every time the phrase is called out. The second the presenter calls out the word, your audience can dance, clap or just rise and seat. Alternatively, they can respond with a phrase, word, or an emoji using MeetingPulse.

11. What would I have done?

In this game, ask each member of the team what their alternative career would be. The point of the game is to open up to each other and foster conversation.

‍ How to play: Each member writes down their alternative career and waits their turn to reveal. The audience collectively asks “What would you have done?” and the selected member responds explaining why they chose that alternative. This is another great game you can play virtually, especially if you’re working with a big team.

With MeetingPulse , you can find out everyone’s alternative career and even get some statistics.

12. Fabulous flags

In this game , team members draw things that matter to them on their flag. This is known as the personal flag game, and it’s an excellent ice breaker activity.

‍ How to play: Everyone gets 10 minutes to draw objects or symbols that represent something meaningful in their lives. Each person gets two minutes to explain the items on their flag.

13. Botticelli

Similar to 20 questions, this game also tests your trivia. You keep in mind a person, place, or thing, and the audience has to guess. The game is a bit more complex because the player can talk back to the audience and distract them from the name.

‍ How to play: The audience asks leading questions to which the player responds with a yes or no. If they ask a specific question like “Does the celebrity’s name start with B?” then the player can respond with “It’s not Brad Pitt.”

This game is logistically easy to plan because all you need to do is formulate the poll questions and integrate them into your PowerPoint with MeetingPulse .

14. Candy introductions

This is a game that allows people to get to know each other while enjoying some sweet treats. It’s excellent for training sessions where participants are complete strangers, providing general topics for introductions that employees can elaborate upon further.

‍ How to play: The participants choose different types of candy from a bag and use each to represent different topics about themselves during the introduction. They can talk about family, career, hobbies, unexpected characteristic and dream destinations.

15. Crazy job interview

In this game, one participant tries to convince the others why they would be the best for a certain job. They have to expound on qualities given by another player and how those qualities make them a good fit.

‍ How to play: The participant is given a career, like a supermodel. Then they are given random phrases like “angry with the queen” or “intellectually incompatible” and they have to use these phrases to explain why they would be great at being a supermodel.

16. The elimination game

The elimination game helps participants to get to know each other, using a series of questions to find out the most common and most rare similarities amongst people within your company.

‍ How to play: The whole room is asked to stand up. The leader then asks elimination questions like “how many are attending this conference for the first time?” That group gets to sit down. The next is “remain standing if this is your fourth consecutive attendance.” The rest of the group sits down. And the elimination questions continue.

17. Would you rather

This is a fun game to liven up the room, giving participants two choices of something they can do. They have to choose the lesser evil.

‍ How to play: The player is given a question with two very bad or very good outcomes. For example, if the employees are afraid of heights, ask, “Would you rather go sky diving or bungee jumping?”

If you want to play this game with a large group of people, you can use MeetingPulse to get answers in real time. This game can also provide valuable insight for you. For instance, you can ask, “Would you rather have a breakfast spread or small desserts for our next meeting?”

18. Anagrams

‍ Think up a word and have everyone else try to figure it out. Expect some hilarious answers as everyone chips in.

‍ How to play: Jumble up the letters but ensure that they create a five or six letter word anagram when correctly aligned. Only the presenter should suggest the word, and the activity should be timed. People can submit their answers live on MeetingPulse .

19. Two truths and a lie

The players get to tell two truths and one lie about themselves and the audience deciphers which one is the lie.

‍ How to play: The player chooses a topic, like “career.” They tell two real facts about their career and one lie. The audience then decides which statement is false and why they believe that.

20. Choose the Agenda

In this activity, the participants choose the agenda of the meeting instead of being told what it is. This allow them to address burning issues.

‍ How to play: Participants are invited to submit their agendas, which are shared by everyone and then voted on. The one with the most votes becomes the main agenda for the meeting. This gives participants control over the meeting as well.

You can use MeetingPulse’s brainstorming tool with the upvoting feature for this!

Final Thoughts

Now that you know some of the best interactive presentation games, you’re ready to host your next event with new and creative ways to keep your audience engaged. MeetingPulse is a great tool and resource for you to make your presentations more memorable and — dare we say it — fun.

The 10 best PowerPoint Games to play in Workshops, Classrooms & Presentations

01.01.20   •  #fun #game #powerpoint #presentation.

In our last blog post, we talked about tools and tips on how to boost the audience engagement in your presentation. One of our recommended ways to do so was to play games, as they release tension and function as a fun element that lightens the mood. That’s why today we are going to list the Top 10 best games to play in your presentation.

1. Would you rather

Is it a game that everyone knows already? Probably. But did we have to include it on the list because it is just perfect for playing with your audience? Definitely. The game is pretty much self-explanatory – You give your attendees two (or more) scenarios and they have to choose which one they’d rather experience. Combining the Would you rather – question with your presentation topic is usually very easy, but we also thought of some questions you could use for any topic (e.g. as an icebreaker, to get to know your audience a little better, to ask about their opinion or just as a fun element in between). You can let your audience vote by letting them raise their hands or by using an interactive poll tool such as SlideLizard .

• Would you rather A. travel back in time OR B. travel to the future OR C. stay in the present
• Would you rather A. have a long lunch break now OR B. have a short break and finish early
• Would you rather A. be able to read minds OR B. be able to fly OR C. be able to turn invisible
• Would you rather A. receive a letter from Hogwarts OR B. join Frodo on his journey OR C. Hog-what?
• Would you rather A. never be able to go on Social Media again B. never be able to read a book again

2. Charades

The popular game is not only great for your family’s game-night, but also for your presentations and workshops. Prepare a few cards that have words related to your presentation’s topic on them, let some volunteers in your audience draw and act them out. The rest of the audience has to guess the word. You can be sure that these terms and the associated performances will never be forgotten!

Small Trivia quizzes are perfect for checking and manifesting the audience’s knowledge at the end of your presentation. Instead of repeating and summing up what you have already said, you can let your participants test their knowledge right away. However, you can also use a quiz in the beginning to test your audience’s existing knowledge about a topic. But there are not only trivia quizzes: Questions about personality can also be interesting and work well as an ice breaker in the beginning. Again, we recommend a tool for poll creation, as that is the easiest way to conduct quizzes. In a recent article we listed 50 great questions (a mix of personality and trivia) , that you could use for your next presentation! And if you're a fan of quiz game shows, we also got a full Who wants to be a Millionaire PowerPoint template for you to download for free! You'll see how it looks like in the following video (be sure to turn up your sound!):

PowerPoint can be used for way more than most people know. Even we were amazed by people on the internet who created extensive games by animating content using PP. We don’t want to go that big today, but we are going to provide you with a free-to-download template of memory. You only have to add it to your presentation and customize the pictures or terms you want under the cards. Download free PPT Memory Template

5. Two Truths and a Lie

Here is another game that is just perfect when you play it with interactive poll tools. It is great for getting the audience to know you as a presenter better. Think of a fun, interesting or astonishing fact about yourself, and then invent two fake ones. Your attendees have to vote which statement they think is true. Be prepared to see some very surprised faces in your audience!

6. PowerPoint Karaoke

PowerPoint-Karaoke is the perfect improvisation game. Players are confronted with a set of slides they have never seen before and try to give a presentation as convincingly as possible. If you want to know all about this game and get some slides you can use for playing, check out our detailed blog post on PowerPoint-Karaoke .

7. Where do you stand?

For the game “Where do you stand?”, your attendees will actually have to stand up. Therefore, it is only convenient if you have enough space. If you want to get your participant’s opinion about something and get them to move a little, look no further! Create an imaginary line across the room. One end stands for one opinion, the other end for the exact opposite opinion. Your attendees can now place themselves on this line wherever they like (right in the middle, on either end or somewhere in between). You can then even interview people on the line (it is always interesting to choose two from opposite sites) and learn about their views. If you’re a little overwhelmed now, here are some examples you could use for this game:

Attention – you can of course ask about political or more controversial topics, but that may escalate and turn into a fight, which is not the purpose of the game or your presentation.

8. Describe That

Let your audience draw from cards with words on them and then describe it for the other attendees. It is basically like charades, but with words instead of acting. Some may find that too easy. In that case, you can either choose terms that are extremely hard to describe or add some “Taboo-words” to the card that can’t be used for describing.

9. True and False

Have you ever heard a crazy, bizarre fact where you didn’t think that it could be true? Perfect. You can use it in the well-known “True and False”-Game. You pick out a fact (ideally something related to your presentation topic) and then let your audience vote (you know – via an interactive poll tool like SlideLizard ) if they think it’s true or not. A tip for making statements false: Change little things about the them, like numbers, dates or names or use common misconceptions and see how many of your attendees buy into them, e.g. “Bulls are enraged by the color red” (which is false, bulls are simply enraged by movement, not specific colors).

10. The never-ending sentence

The never-ending sentence is a great game that incorporates many of your attendees and awakens their brain cells. It is perfect for keeping up their engagement and interest, especially for long presentations or workshops when you feel like some people are getting a little tired. Simply start by saying a word – it can be related to the presentation’s topic if you want – and ask a person in your audience to repeat that word and add another one – the next person to repeat those two words and add another one as well , and so on, until a sentence forms. As it gets longer the game gets a lot more difficult, because there is a lot more to remember and to repeat. The sentence can’t be ended, it has to be continued until someone makes a mistake (or until the last person in the room has added a new word). We promise that you will be left with a lot of fun, creative, and straight-up weird sentences that will make your audience laugh a lot.

#1: Live Quiz Competition

Is there any event that hasn’t been immediately improved with some trivia?

A live quiz is an evergreen, ever-engaging way to consolidate your presentation’s info and check the understanding of it all amongst your audience. Expect big laughs as your audience competes fiercely over who was listening to your presentation the most complex.

Here’s how to play:

• Set up your questions on free quizzing software .
• Present your quiz to your players, who join by typing your unique code into their phones.
• Take your players through each question, and they race to get the correct answer the fastest.
• Check the final leaderboard to reveal the winner!

Learn how to set up your presentation quiz for free in just a few minutes! 👇

Put your audience in your shoes. Give them a scenario related to your presentation and see how they would deal with it.

Let’s say you’re a teacher giving a presentation on dinosaurs. After presenting your info, you would ask something like…

A stegosaurus is chasing you, ready to snap you up for dinner. How do you escape?

After each person submits their answer, you can take a vote to see which is the crowd’s favourite response to the scenario.

This is one of the best presentation games for students as it gets young minds whirring creatively. But it also works great in a work setting and can have a similar freeing effect, which is especially significant as a large group icebreaker .

• Create a brainstorming slide and write your scenario at the top.
• Participants join your presentation on their phones and type their responses to your scenario.
• Afterwards, each participant votes for their favourite (or top 3 favourites) answers.
• The participant with the most votes is revealed as the winner!

No matter the topic of your presentation, there’s sure to be a lot of numbers and figures flying around.

As an audience member, keeping track of them isn’t always easy, but one of the interactive presentation games that makes it easier is Key Number .

Here, you offer a simple prompt of a number, and the audience responds with what they think it refers to. For example, if you write ‘ $25′ , your audience might respond with ‘our cost per acquisition’ , ‘our daily budget for TikTok advertising’ or ‘the amount John spends on jelly tots every day’ .

• Create a few multiple-choice slides (or open-ended slides to make it more complicated).
• Write your key number at the top of each slide.
• Write the answer options.
• Participants join your presentation on their phones.
• Participants select the answer they think the critical number relates to (or type in their answer if open-ended).

If keeping track of numbers and figures is challenging, it can be even tougher to follow entire processes or workflows explained in a presentation.

To cement this information in your audience’s mind, Guess the Order is a fantastic minigame for presentations.

You write the steps of a process, jumble them up, and then see who can put them in the right order the fastest.

• Create a ‘Correct Order’ slide and write your statements.
• Statements are automatically jumbled up.
• Players join your presentation on their phones.
• Players race to put the statements in the correct order.

You might have heard of this one as a great icebreaker , but it’s also one of the top presentation games for checking who’s paying attention.

And it’s pretty simple to do. Just think of two statements using the information in your presentation, and make another one up. Players have to guess which is the one you’ve made up.

This one is a great re-capping game and works for students and colleagues.

• Create a list of 2 truths and one lie covering different topics in your presentation.
• Read out two truths and one lie and get participants to guess the lie.
• Participants vote for the lie either by hand or through a multiple-choice slide in your presentation.

The best presentations are ones that spark a bit of creative thinking and discussion. There’s no better presentation game for evoking this than 4 Corners.

The concept is simple. Present a statement based on something from your presentation that’s open to different points of view. Depending on each player’s opinion, they move to a corner of the room labelled ‘strongly agree’, ‘agree’, ‘disagree’ or ‘strongly disagree’ .

Maybe something like this:

An individual is shaped more by nature than nurture.

Once everyone is in their corner, you could have a structured debate between the four sides to bring different opinions to the table.

• Set up the ‘strongly agree’, ‘agree’, ‘disagree’ and ‘strongly disagree’ corners of your room (if running a virtual presentation, then a simple show of hands could work).
• Write some statements which are open to different opinions.
• Read out the statement.
• Each player stands in the right corner of the room, depending on their view.
• Discuss the four different viewpoints.

Live word clouds are always a beautiful addition to any interactive presentation. If you want our advice, include them whenever you can – presentation games or not.

If you do plan to use one for a game in your presentation, a great one to try is Obscure Word Cloud .

It works on the same concept as the popular UK game show Pointless . Your players are given a statement and have to name the most obscure answer they can. The least-mentioned correct answer is the winner!

Take this example statement:

Name one of our top 10 countries for customer satisfaction.

The most popular answers may be India, USA and Brazil , but the points go to the least mentioned correct country.

• Create a word cloud slide with your statement at the top.
• Players submit the most obscure answer they can think of.
• The most obscure one appears most diminutive on the board. Whoever submitted that answer is the winner!

For Ice Breaking

For Testing

This one’s a great game to use in the classroom, but if you’re not looking for presentation games for students, it also works wonders in a casual work setting.

Heart, Gun, Bomb is a game in which teams take turns to answer questions presented in a grid. If they get an answer right, they either get a heart, a gun or a bomb…

• A ❤️ grants the team an extra life.
• A 🔫 takes away one life from any other team.
• A 💣 takes away one heart from the team who got it.

All teams start with five hearts. The team with the most hearts at the end, or the only surviving team, is the winner!

• Before starting, create a grid table for yourself with either a heart, gun or bomb occupying each grid (on a 5×5 grid, this should be 12 hearts, nine guns and four bombs).
• Present another grid table to your players (5×5 for two teams, 6×6 for three groups, etc.)
• Write a figure stat (like 25%) from your presentation into each grid.
• Split players into the desired number of teams.
• Team 1 chooses a grid and says the meaning behind the number ( for example, the number of customers last quarter ).
• If they’re wrong, they lose a heart. If they’re right, they get either a seat, gun or bomb, depending on what the grid corresponds to on your grid table.
• Repeat this with all the teams until there’s a winner!

#9: Match Up – Interactive Presentation Games

Here’s another quiz-type question that can be a great addition to your roster of presentation games.

It involves a set of prompt statements and a set of answers. Each group is jumbled; the players must match the information with the correct answer as quickly as possible.

Again, this one works well when the answers are numbers and figures.

• Create a ‘Match Pairs’ question.
• Fill out the set of prompts and answers, which will automatically shuffle.
• Players match each prompt with its answer as fast as possible to score the most points.

If there’s a more versatile presentation game tool than the humble spinner wheel , we aren’t aware of it.

Adding the random factor of a spinner wheel might be just what you need to keep engagement in your presentation high. There are presentation games you can use with this, including…

• Choosing a random participant to answer a question.
• Choosing a bonus prize after getting an answer correct.
• Choosing the next person to ask a Q&A question or give a presentation.
• Create a spinner wheel slide and write the title at the top.
• Write the entries for the spinner wheel.
• Spin the wheel and see where it lands!

Tip 💡 You can choose the AhaSlides spinner wheel to use your participants’ names, so you don’t have to fill in the entries manually! Learn more interactive presentation techniques with AhaSlides.

This one’s a great way to turn a regular end-of-presentation feature into a fun, engaging game.

It’s got all the hallmarks of a standard Q&A, but this time, all the questions are written on balloons.

It’s a super simple one to set up and play, but you’ll see how motivated participants are to ask questions when it involves balloons!

• Hand out a deflated balloon and a Sharpie to each participant.
• Each participant blows up the balloon and writes their question on it.
• Each participant bats their balloon to where the speaker is standing.
• The speaker answers the question and then pops or throws away the balloon.

So, how do you feel about AhaSlides’s creative ideas for presentations? Being by far the most popular presentation tool on the planet, you may want to know if there are any presentation games to play on PowerPoint.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. PowerPoint takes presentations incredibly seriously and doesn’t have a lot of time for interactivity or fun of any kind.

But there’s good news…

It is possible to directly embed presentation games into PowerPoint presentations with free help from AhaSlides.

You can import your PowerPoint presentation to AhaSlides with the click of a button and vice versa , then place interactive presentation games like the ones above directly between your presentation slides.

What are the benefits of playing interactive presentation games?

⁤Interactive presentation games boost engagement, participation and knowledge retention. ⁤⁤They turn passive listeners into active learners by incorporating elements like live polls, quizzes, word clouds and Q&A.

How do you make a presentation interactive with games?

– Match your content: The game should reinforce the topics being covered, not just be random entertainment. – Audience considerations: Age, group size, and their knowledge level will inform game complexity. – Tech tools & time: Consider tools like AhaSlides, Kahoot, etc., or design simple no-tech games based on the time you have.

How can I make my presentation more engaging?

Making presentations more engaging can be a challenge, but there are several techniques you can use to make your presentation more interesting and memorable, including (1) start with a strong opening (2) use lots of visual ads and (3) tell attractive story. Also, remember to keep it short and sweet, and of course, practice a lots!

Presentation on Video Games

This lecture focus to Presentation on Video Games. A history of video games goes as far back as the 1940s. Video gaming may not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when arcade video gaming, game consoles and home computer games were introduced to most people. Since then, video gaming has developed into popular form of entertainment and a component of modern culture in most elements of the world. There are classified some games generation that are coming forward from the beginning of the era. These are: Second Generation 1977, Third Generation(1985), Final Generation(1989), Fifth Generation(1993), Sixth Generation (1998), Present Generation (2004-to date).

Second-half surge powers No. 11 NC State to unlikely Final Four berth with defeat of Duke

DALLAS — One of the great postseason runs in men’s college basketball history keeps on going. Next up for the NC State show? The Final Four. 

For the first time since 1983 — the year they won it all with Jim Valvano running around The Pit in New Mexico hugging anyone he could find — NC State is back on the sport’s biggest stage. 

And to make it even sweeter, the Wolfpack beat rival Duke to get there on Sunday in an all-ACC matchup, dominating the second half of the South Regional final to mint a 76-64 victory that will live forever in NC State lore. 

NC State, a team that finished 10th in the ACC regular season and stood at 17-14 when the conference tournament began, has now rattled off nine straight wins and will face No. 1 seed Purdue on Saturday in Glendale, Arizona, for a spot in the national championship game. They’re the sixth team in tournament history to reach the Final Four as a No. 11 seed.

And the main reason the Wolfpack have been transformed over the past three weeks? It’s DJ Burns, Jr., the charismatic 6-foot-9 center with a feathery touch and passing skills that do not seem possible for someone carrying well over 300 pounds (he’s officially listed at 275).

FOLLOW THE MADNESS: NCAA basketball bracket, scores, schedules, teams and more.

With Duke choosing to use just only defender most of the time to guard him — just as they did in two earlier meetings this season — Burns ate the Blue Devils' defense alive with 29 points on 13-of-19 shots. 

NC State also got timely outside shooting from senior guard DJ Horne, who scored 18 and sparked second half in which the Wolfpack made 19-of-26 shots. 

Duke, meanwhile, could never get settled on offense, shooting 32 percent overall and 5-of-20 from the 3-point line. The Blue Devils got poor games from sophomore big man Kyle Filipowski (11 points on 3-of-12 shooting) and sophomore guard Tyrese Proctor (0 points, 0-for-9) and simply could not mount a response once NC State began to get its second-half rhythm. 

NC State seemed to be in foul trouble early in the second half when Burns picked up his third with 15:11 remaining and Mohamed Diarra, its other big man, was called for his fourth with 12:41 left. 

But NC State coach Kevin Keatts managed to nurse his rotation just enough to keep Burns on the floor most of the time, and it paid off with easy looks at the rim out of their halfcourt sets. 

The first half finished with both teams struggling to unlock their offense. NC State made just 9-of-34 field goals, struggling both from the 3-point line (1-of-7) and finishing at the rim where they continually ran into a wall of resistance.

Duke also shot poorly (8-of-26) and committed five turnovers but managed to get to the foul line with more frequency, making all nine to account for their 27-21 lead.  

But Duke’s lead was a mirage: Possession by possession, NC State was sharper, more aggressive and never looked back once Horne gave the Wolfpack a 40-38 lead on a runner with 11:39 left. 

NC State is making its fourth trip to the Final Four in school history. It won the national championship in 1974 and 1983, the latter of which is considered one of the great longshot runs in tournament history as a No. 6 seed.
