Elevator Pitch (and Genre Cops)
Elevator Pitch is so many things!
It's over 500 hilarious movie tropes, on 100 beautifully designed cards.
It's three different games to play! Match wits with your friends as you try to build the best pitch from random tropes. Then try to make a plot make sense as more and more tropes get added! Or just try to be the first to name a film with the tropes in question. Heaps of variants allow you to make it easier for younger or less creative players, or make it harder for the improv experts, or just to add new twists so the game is always fresh!
It's a roleplaying game! Yes, it comes with Genre Cops: a complete RPG about cops fighting genre-crime in a city where all the genres meet. It's a light-hearted and rules-light adventure for beginners and experienced roleplayers alike.
It's a writer's tool! With five hundred movie ideas, you can spark characters, plots and narratives with just a pull of a card! We talk about a few of those on the blog here and here!
It's a dessert topping! No, wait. Well, I guess it could be? Give it a try, let us know how it tastes!
"For solo filmmakers and screenwriters, Elevator Pitch is a wonderful tool that you can use on your own to help with overcoming that terrifying blank page, or in the middle of a project when you get stuck with writers block. And it’s a great tool for the writer’s room when breaking an episode, plotting season arcs and building the world of your show as it works just as well in collaborative writing situations."
- Shane Anderson, Director
"I heartily recommend this game - almost a compendium of games...it will improve your life no end"
- Pol Rua, Podcaster
