What Is a PowerPoint Night?

It’s a new trend that’s taking over is PowerPoint nights. This TikTok trend hit its peak popularity in 2020 during the pandemic. People were looking for a way to connect and have fun through technology.

A PowerPoint night is where a group of friends create short presentations about fun topics. After they create them, they present them to their group of friends, either in person or over a video call. People often have snacks and beverages that they eat and drink during these fun nights.

How to Host a PowerPoint Night

Now that you know what a PowerPoint is, maybe you want to know how to host one? Here’s how:

1. Choose Who to Invite

A key part of a PowerPoint night is having fun; this means that you want to invite people you’d have fun with. This type of party isn’t for everyone.  Adults, Young adults, and teens would do better with this type of night. You want people who would have experience making presentations.

2. Explain the Rules

After choosing who you want to invite, you’ll need to explain the rules of the game you’re playing. You should also explain if there’s a theme and what topics everyone in your group wants. For example, some people set rules like you’ve got three minutes to present your topic, and your limit is three PowerPoint slides.

You can have people do a topic they’re passionate about or have a theme. If you’re worried about people having the same subject, have your guests submit their topics beforehand. This means that if someone submits the same topic as someone else, they can choose another topic.

3. Send the Link

If you decide to do the PowerPoint night over a video call, send the link to your friends and join the call early. Entering the call early will give you work out any possible technical difficulties. Plus, you can allow everyone to share their screen while they’re presenting.

4. Have Fun!

Remember, the most important part of PowerPoint nights is to have fun. This means the presentations can be filled with memes, images, gifs, videos, charts, and whatever else you need.

Most PowerPoint parties have funny topics, and the presentations aren’t taken seriously. This night is used as a time to have fun and unwind.

Fun PowerPoint Game Night Games

If you want to have a fun night but don’t want to do a presentation, here are some funny PowerPoint night ideas for some games instead:

1. Bracket Nights

This game is great for any group that likes to debate. In this game, you choose a topic that’s got 16 subcategories—for example, types of tables.

After you’ve chosen a topic, you and your friends debate it until you come up with the best of the category. Then you can have a winner in the topic. For example, you and your friend might debate and end up deciding that a recliner is the best chair.

2. Build a Theory

If you and your friends are creative, this could be the game for you. In this game, you give your friend a random topic, and they’ve got to build a crazy conspiracy theory around it.

Each friend is given a separate topic and whoever comes up with the best theory wins.

You can also do a spin-off of this game where you give your friend two separate random topics. They’ve got to connect these two topics in a conspiracy theory. Whoever creates the best theory wins.

4. Research Random Funny PowerPoint Night Topics

If you’ve got a group that likes to learn, this could be a fun game. In this game, everyone is given a presentation topic at random. Each person is given ten minutes (or however long you choose) to research and create a presentation topic. Then, each person has to present the topic to everyone. Whoever has the best presentation and well-researched topic wins.

4. Three Minute Passionate Presentation

This game is very similar to a PowerPoint night. In this game, people aren’t assigned a topic; they get to choose their own topic.

Each friend gives a three-minute presentation that they’re passionate about. The limit is three slides, and the presentation can’t go over three minutes. In the end, everyone votes on who has the best presentation and chooses the winner.

5. Random Rant

This game is fun if you and your group like to rant about various things. In this game, everyone is assigned a random topic. Then, the person has to present an angry rant about the topic. Whoever gives the best rant wins the game.
