Dinner Table Movie Pitch

Pitch a film that could only be made by this group.

Everyone invents a film in five minutes and pitches it to the table, standing up, like a real studio meeting.

How to play

  1. 1

    Everyone gets five minutes to invent a film: title, hero, one big problem and a twist.

  2. 2

    Pitch it in ninety seconds, standing up.

  3. 3

    The group plays the studio and each asks one impossible question.

  4. 4

    Everyone votes for the film they'd actually fund.

How it's scored

Three points for best title, two for best pitch, one for best twist.

What you need

Paper and a pen each.

A taste of the cards

  • A heist film set in a supermarket
  • A musical about doing the washing up
  • A thriller where the villain is a group chat

5 cards in the deck — PlayMe deals them out as you play.

Tips for the host

  • • Titles first — it loosens everyone up.
  • • Nobody interrupts during a pitch. That's the rule.

Everyone in? Let's play.

You'll get the rules, the cards, a timer and a scoreboard — no account needed.
