Foresight Shopping Network

Welcome to the Foresight Shopping Network, where we offer the technology of the future, today!

This is a fast and fun game in which players create quick advertising pitches about emerging technologies. It doesn't require any preparation or facilitator and can be played in just a few minutes.

How to Play

Use this link to create a new game room. Then, share the link with other players. Everyone sees the same prompt at the same time.

Players take turns as the advertiser giving a pitch for a product. On your turn:

1. Press "Randomize All" to create a new set of prompts. Feel free to reroll any prompts you don't want, by clicking on them.

2. Deliver a short product pitch for why the Target Customer should buy this product. Call out the product differentiation and highlight its features and benefits.

3. After the pitch, the other players can "call in" with product questions (as potential buyers) and feedback (as past customers).

Then, the next player should take their turn and pitch a new product.

Remixing the Game

This game was create by Randy Lubin for the Remixable Foresight Games jam and is published under a CC-BY Creative Commons license. That means I'd love to see you change it, hack it, and make it your own!

Foresight Shopping Network is created with Storysynth and it runs off this spreadsheet. Feel free to create a copy of the spreadsheet, make your changes, and then upload your version to Storysynth.

Ways you might want to change it:

• Add your own set of emerging technologies
• Change the customer options
• Alter the core activity from pitching a product to something else, like an investor roadshow or a moral panic

If you use or modify the game, I'd love to hear about it! Share it here or on social media.
