"乱讲PPT"是一种近年在中国城市兴起的年轻人社交娱乐活动,参与者需要对毫无逻辑关联的陌生PPT进行即兴讲解。[1]这项活动源于2005年德国派对玩笑,[1]2023年阿姆斯特丹还举办了国际性比赛。[1]中国在近两年才真正走入大众视野,去年即兴喜剧活动策划者开始引入国内。[1]
目前,"乱讲PPT"已成为北上广等大城市年轻人下班后的解压和社交方式。[1]参与者可选择报名成为选手或观众,门票价格大约在100元至200元之间。[1]这项活动从北京、上海逐渐扩展到广州、深圳、杭州等城市,全国各大城市几乎每周都有举办。[1]活动主要考验参与者的随机应变能力和知识储备,被视为职场年轻人释放压力的一种方式。[1]
参与者丛汉克表示:"白天做PPT是为了说服客户,必须要严谨的;晚上'乱讲PPT',则是为了自由、好玩"。[1]另一位参加者戴桁宇则指出:"'乱讲PPT'提供了两三个小时的高质量共处时间,让你看到一个真实的人,而不是一个职位标签"。[1]
A novel form of social entertainment has emerged among young professionals in major Chinese cities, where participants improvise explanations of randomly selected, utterly unrelated PowerPoint presentations [1]. Known as "Chaotic PPT," this activity originates from a 2005 German party game [1] and has gained international traction, with Amsterdam hosting an international competition in 2023 [1]. The practice arrived in China only in recent years, when improv comedy event organizers began introducing it domestically [1], and has since expanded from Beijing and Shanghai to cities including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou, with nearly every major Chinese city now hosting weekly events [1].
Participants can register as either performers or audience members, with ticket prices typically ranging from 100 to 200 yuan [1]. The activity tests participants' improvisational skills and knowledge base [1], appealing to office workers seeking stress relief after work hours. As one participant, Cong Hankle, explained: "During the day, creating PPTs is about convincing clients and maintaining rigor; at night, 'Chaotic PPT' is about freedom and fun" [1]. Another participant, Dai Hangyu, noted that "Chaotic PPT provides two or three hours of high-quality time together, letting you see a real person rather than just a job title" [1]. For young professionals navigating corporate hierarchies, the activity has become a recognized decompression method and social bonding experience [1].
