[#12032141]

During lockdown I've been partly tasked with entertainment for the department and recreating gameshows has gone down pretty well, especially Play Your Cards Right and Family Fortunes.

Has anyone been doing similar? I'm looking for good games to go at. The whole PowerPoint thing just makes it funny (ironically funny, honest).

Oh, god. You've given me a flashback to an absolutely awful PowerPoint version of some hideous jasper Carrott quiz thing called goldenballs. A colleague of mine pulled it together to liven up a session about Van Insurance if I recall correctly.

It was awful.

My team mate and I delivered it precisely once, then gave up. We used the questions instead and scored them in teams, then fed them all chocolate.

My top tip is to not bother, and give them junk food instead. HTH.

What games have been played? Pray tell. I'd be willing to bet people are more focused on the competitive element than the slides. Plus the chocolates, 'course 😁

I've done a jeopardy PPT in training classes. Format works pretty well for what it's used for, making boring technical shit seem less boring.

Try using Kahoot instead.

Blockbusters works well - as does Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Catchphrase.

Hours of fun, surely?
