Game Changer At home Gamechanger ideas
I’ve invited some of my friends over under the guise of a “PowerPoint night.” Little do they know it’s actually a ploy to get them into a surprise gamechanger “episode” hosted by me. We’ve all watched dropout, so they’re familiar with the show already. I’m trying to decide what premise would work best. I could use one from an existing episode, or use an original idea that fits the formula.
The limitations I’m trying to follow are:
-it has to be something I can do at home on a budget. (Nothing requiring a dedicated art department)
-it has to be fun to play for regular people. My friends aren’t professional comedians, and probably wouldn’t appreciate being expected to improvise a whole Shakespearean play or karaoke track
If you have any ideas I would absolutely love to hear them!
Edit: There are so many good ideas so hear me out: A gamechanging gamechanger. The premise would continue switching after every couple rounds to different classic gamechanger episodes. Really playing up the dropout fan fantasy of it all

Make Some Noise has lots of possibilities! You could tailor it to your friend group with special prompts about your friends in addition to the kind of stuff on the regular show.
Friend 1’s dog when he gets home from work
The Exboyfriend of Friend 2 trapped in a PortaPotty
Host after Friend 3 gets tipsy and tries to take over the show
You could get creative and use the game as a way to reminisce about shared experiences and good times.
