The problem
Stop talking about entrepreneurship.
Start playing it.
PITCH OFF
PITCH OFF gives you 30 seconds.
- You draw a problem.
- The clock starts.
- You invent the business.
- You pitch it.
- Everyone votes.
The mechanic
30 seconds to invent.
A lifetime to regret.
The clock starts the moment you flip the hourglass. You pitch, you sweat, your friends decide. No notes. No slides. No second takes.
What's inside the game
Every turn is a new startup.
Six core mechanics designed to make every round feel like a fresh first-day-at-YCombinator moment. Fast, social, and slightly unhinged.
The clock
30-second pitches.
Think fast. Explain the product, customer and business model before the clock runs out. Hesitate and you lose the room.
The investors
Real investors.
Your friends decide whether your idea deserves their investment. They're ruthless. They have snack money to lose.
The difficulty
One deck. Four levels.
Every card is color-coded by difficulty. Stack the deck with easy wins, or gamble on a black FLASH card for four points in fifteen seconds.

No prep
No homework.

Group play
Built for chaos.
4–8 players. Everyone gets a turn. Nobody knows what problem comes next. Side bets encouraged.
The win
First to 15 wins.
Collect investment cards, accumulate points, and become the ultimate entrepreneur. The rest of you are Series B founders at best.

You have 30 seconds. Flip the hourglass. The room goes quiet.

Everyone votes: INVEST or PASS. Cash or silence. The room decides.
