A five-slide outline

How to use it

  1. 01/03

    Pick your crowd

    Friends, couples, family or work. The work list is the only one safe to run in an office.

  2. 02/03

    Set the chaos level

    Wholesome stays kind. Unhinged does not — read it before you commit in front of anyone.

  3. 03/03

    Take the outline

    Each topic comes with five slide headings. Build to those and you have a five-minute set.

Good to know

What is a PowerPoint night?

Everyone builds a short deck on their own topic and presents it to the group. Five to ten slides each, five minutes apiece, and the topics are deliberately trivial — ranking your friends as breakfast foods rather than anything serious.

How long should each one be?

Five minutes. Six people at five minutes plus heckling fills an evening; at ten minutes each the fourth presenter is talking to an empty room.

What makes a topic land?

Specific and personal beats broad and clever. "Ranking every dog on our street" works because the room is in it; "the history of pizza" does not.
