You post singing and dancing challenges and bet on the results, punishment and prizes. The performances create a fun reason to be catfished into donating.
Only one person needs to know how to play and have their phone in their hands, the rest can just sing like they normally do and take direction for their performance. The one knowledgeable person to give stage direction is called the “Gamer”. Anyone can be a gamer, but you only need one.
Play starts with the Gamer speaking to each player for about 30 seconds to get their challenges and bets. The Gamer lists the challenges on the epiphany and this post is how stage direction is shared to both live and online players. Players can create their own epiphanies hours, weeks or even months before a game.
The Gamer will also be the Bootymaster or assign someone to be the Bootymaster. This can rotate every turn or at the whim of the Bootymaster. The Bootymaster is the banker, bribed judge, executioner, commander and carnival barker. The Bootymaster controls all the booty but has no math skills whatsoever.
Similar to Monty Python, Flip Wilson, Tyler Perry and many other comedy skits the Bootymaster is a female character.
Females that play the Bootymaster must try very hard to act like a saucy, scheming, demanding, attention seeking female shamelessly flaunting her charms to cheat and catfish the other players. This will come naturally to males that play the part.
If that doesn’t work, the Bootymadter has comedy props used for punishment. This can be hot sauce, whipped cream, a whip, ping pong paddle, a cat or anything else she can playfully threaten players with. If no props are available she can use the threat of being motorboated. (This threat works very well when males are playing the Bootymaster.)
Types of Karaoke Challenge Games
(Flash Mob Superhero, Challenge, Loony, Drunken Sailor, Hero, Air Band, Anthem and Floating Flag are Karaoke games.)
Flash Mob Superhero – Comedy Bumper
This is the most difficult and important of all the Karaoke Challenge Games. It can involve dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people who all rehearse at separate locations on their own schedule. When ready, the local Karaoke troupes all meet at a regional location to flash mob one unsuspecting Hero into a Super Hero!
Start with one or two people to form a local troupe anywhere such as your cafeteria, break room, church or sports bar. From Youtube or your Karaoke DJ, pick a well known song or sing a line dance song. Just before you start, you prompt everyone by loudly saying your flash mob code word. Your friends join you after you say this code word and this teaches people what to expect. Repeat this same code word prompt and then the song two or three times that night or the next day at work, school or your sports bar so that everyone gets it. By the third or forth time you should have expanded your troupe to a half dozen or so people. Now that people understand what to do when they hear the codeword, show them your epiphany on piratedivebar.com that organized it. Use the share link for social media. Your troupe will now expand almost exponentially and will include live and online players especially if you post video on your epiphany of what you are doing.
Over the next few days or weeks, instead of working, doing school work or paying attention in church people will be able to visit your epiphany online and add comments, suggestions, wardrobe, props, photography and other production plans. This will continually organize and improve your troupe and performance.
Each local troupe can become a team if they are creating an episode for a person they know with a developmental disability. This person is the Hero of the team and will be flash mobbed into a Super Hero. Once organized, this flash mob can be repeated a few more times to turn other Heroes into Super Heroes.
The other karaoke games are very simple and are explained on the epiphany when that style is selected.
