Reverse Buzzword Bingo 1.1

Category: Games
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)
Version: 1.0 -> 1.1

Description:

Stay entertained at work – work these words into conversation.

You’ve played Buzzword/BS/Corporate Bingo, now it’s time for Reverse Buzzword Bingo where YOU drive the game.

Given a list of random words race up to three other players to be the first to work the words into a meeting or presentation.

There’s a catch – you have to provide context. You can’t just blurt out “gazebo!” but you could say:

“If we built a gazebo to work outside, productivity might increase.”

So it isn’t really bingo at all but it will keep you busy during meetings – no matter how painful the content.
