How to use it

01/03
Name your categories
Three to six columns. Keep names short — long ones shrink to fit the header.
02/03
Write the clues
Each cell takes a clue and its answer. Blank cells become dead squares on the board, so fill every one you plan to use.
03/03
Download and play
Start the slideshow and click a value to jump to its clue. Click the clue for the answer, then the answer to return to the board.
The board does not cross off played squares — track those yourself. For Google Slides, upload the file to Drive and open it with Slides; the hyperlinks survive the import.

Good to know

Does the board really work when clicked?

Yes. The links are slide-to-slide jumps, which every presentation app supports. Start the slideshow and it plays like the televised game.

Does it grey out squares that have been played?

No, and no downloadable deck can. Squares get picked in any order, so marking them would need a separate board slide for every combination — more than a million on a 5 × 5 board. Keep track on paper, or delete each value by hand between rounds.

How long does a game take?

A 5 × 5 board runs about 25 minutes with a group that keeps moving. A 4 × 4 fits a single class period with time to spare.

Can I restyle it after downloading?

Yes. The board is ordinary shapes and text boxes, so colours, fonts and the point values are all editable in PowerPoint or Slides.
