Life Admin
A serious presentation about something deeply unserious.
A full business review of the most trivial thing in your life: executive summary, current state, key findings, recommendations and next steps. The more seriously you take it, the funnier it gets.
How it works
- 1.Everyone gets a different mundane subject
- 2.Follow the business-review structure
- 3.Keep a straight face: no jokes in the delivery
- 4.Include at least one chart
Your deck is already started
Nobody starts at a blank white slide. Every player gets these 5 slides pre-laid-out in the Corporate Beige theme, with a prompt on each one telling you what goes there.
Executive Summary
Three bullet points, written very seriously
Current State
Where things stand. Include a photo as evidence.
Key Findings
A chart that looks expensive and proves very little
Recommendations
A numbered list of absurd but specific actions
Next Steps
Who does what, and by when. Assign tasks to people in the room.
How you're scored
After each presentation the room votes on three things specific to this mode, not generic “was it good”.
Rigor
How committed to the format were they?
Sloppy → Audit-ready
Deadpan
Did they crack even once?
Broke character → Never blinked
Painfully Relatable
How personally did that land?
Not me → Attacked
