The Annoyance Training Center in Collaboration with Face Off Unlimited Present: Improvising Games II
Mastering the art of game-based improvisation isn’t just about being funny, it’s about precision, adaptability, and commanding the mechanics of play at a professional level. Face Off Unlimited has spent years refining this craft, proving that game play isn’t just an aspect of improv, it’s a discipline all its own.
This advanced course dismantles the outdated idea that structured game improvisation is only for beginners. Instead, students will develop the technical precision, spontaneity, and deep comedic instincts that make top-tier performers in this discipline unstoppable forces on stage.
Through hands-on exercises and guided scene work, students will:
- Master the precision, nuance, and depth of game-based performance
- Improvise with structure without sacrificing authenticity or creativity
- Develop an audience-aware mindset to maximize engagement and surprise
- Refine performance choices through a professional lens
- Understand the business of game-based improvisation—and how to make it a career
- Whether you want to elevate your performance skills or position yourself for professional opportunities in high-level game play, this course will challenge and expand how you think about, and execute, improvised games.

This course is divided into two levels.
