Many people think PowerPoint is just for educational or business purposes. However, the slideshow program actually can be used for fun and entertainment! It's fairly simple to make a fun game using just PowerPoint and your creativity (no design skill required!).
Steps
- Open a new PowerPoint presentation.
- Choose a design template for your show.
- Create the first slide - the title slide. Include text that says "Play now!" and create a hyperlink to the beginning of the game.
- To create a hyperlink, highlight the text on which you would like to create the hyperlink, right-click on the mouse, and select "Hyperlink". From here, you can choose which slide you would like to create the hyperlink to.
- Create the second slide - the starting point of your game. From the "Common Tasks" section in the top right-hand corner of the screen, select "Slide Layout". Choose "Title Only".
- Select the text box, and create a simple question such as: Which of these would be the best decision if you were lost in a rain jungle?
- Create a couple more text boxes (3 is the best number for starters) and put possible answers in them.
- Example answers: A: Call for help, B: Shoot a bird for food, or C: Become part of an Indian tribe.
- Add any other special features to the slide (i.e. photos, more choices, etc.)
- Link to other slides from these answer text boxes, which will tell the player if their answer is correct or incorrect.
- When you do this, you should either let the player go back and correct their mistakes or let them go to the next question.
- When you are done creating all of the questions, create an end slide which congratulates the player for completing the quiz game.
- Have A Person Play It!
