Players are given a random word business name and category and have to come up with and pitch a brand new business idea to other players. Both "Funny" and "Fundable" pitches are rewarded so multiple play styles can succeed.
It's Like Shark Tank meets apples to apples.
How its played:
-Split into 4 teams. 1 team starts as the "Investor", the rest as "Entrepreneurs"
-The investor pulls a SideHustle Card with a random business name that doesn't exist on it (ie. Goose Booster, or FlipStak) and rolls an industry die to pick the category (ie. Food & Beverage, or Health & Wellness).
-The Entreprenuer teams then brainstorm a brand new business or product and take turns each pitching their version of the Side Hustle to the Investor Team.
-The Investor then hands out a Funny card and a Funny card as they like based on the pitches/presentations of the Entrepreneurs.
-The roles then rotate and first team to 5 cards, wins
SideHustle essentially creates parameters for creativity for the players and plays to many different player styles. Silly Ideas and presentational styles may win the Funny card, while analytical and methodical approaches may win the Fundable card.
The materials are family friendly and because the ideas come from the players, it's a different game every time.
