The point of this game is there is no point of this game. It's to pass the time while the Executive VP of Deutsche Bank finds his point somewhere amongst his default corporate jargon, and the managers in the room somehow, despite nine hands and four flashlights, still fail to find their asses.
The rules of this game are relatively simple: you are trying to sneak into corporate conversation sports references, war references, old-timey sayings and made-up technical jargon.
- Points are tracked on a per-meeting basis, while leaderboards are typically weekly - do whatever makes sense for your organization.
- Scores are as follows:
- Sports reference: 1 pt
- War reference: 2 pts
- Old-timey saying: 5 pts
- Made-up technical jargon: 10 pts
- If someone in the meeting not playing the game calls you out on a reference, the points count as negative against your score. (i.e. called on an old-timey reference? -5 pts)
- The winner of the meeting declares a meeting closed by saying "Well, this seems like a touchdown."
- If anyone outside your team becomes aware of the game, the meeting is immediately declared forfeit and all scores are counted at zero for the meeting.
