Powerpoint KTV at The Pigeonhole
Contestants talk through a series of random (and hitherto unseen) slides, to form a coherent train of thought. The audience votes on the contestant with the best story. Truly a test of wit and quick thinking, where winners are born and prizes are won! Sign up at the.pigeonhole.sg@gmail.com.
THE FULL STORY…with some help from Wikipedia:
“Powerpoint-Karaoke is a spin-off from the traditional Karaoke, however instead of singing songs, the participants must present an impromptu presentation based on a random presentation, projected on a screen, to an audience. The presentations can come from a sampling of images collected locally or by randomly downloading from the Internet.
The name Powerpoint-Karaoke is based on the title of Microsoft Powerpoint, the world’s most ubiquitous presentation software. In theory, other similar software can be used for this purpose. Powerpoint-Karaoke can be considered a training game that allows the participants to hone their rhetorical presentation skills with a flair for dialogue. It is also considered to be a form of improvisational theatre or as a type of Theatersports game.
