Not sure whether this will work or not, but let’s try it:
The idea is that you explain how to do something in ten words or less. The first person sets a challenge; the next person says how to do it in ten words or less and then sets another challenge.
For instance: How to change a tire (in ten words or less):
Jack up axle; remove flat; mount doughnut; tighten lug nuts.
How to summon a ghost:
Darken room; light candle; play spooky music; use ouija board.
The “how to” task can be simple or complicated; specific or general; practical or silly; etc.
First challenge: In ten words or less, explain how to run for president.
Hm, apparently I’m not the only one who doesn’t have a clue. I’ll take a stab at it though:
Check orientation; shower, shave, skip the Axe; deliver clever line.
FTR, I’d be good with the straight guys skipping the Axe as well.

How do you change a lightbuld in Poland.
[hijack] I was in the NYC subway today and about 15 guys working on the innards of a lighted wall ad display. So, of course, I quipped, “Changing a lightbulb, huh?” They got it.[/hijack]
