Introduction
Quiz-O-Rama is a game show template for two to eight teams or
players. It is designed to be used with questions you provide to review topics
covered in your classroom. The PowerPoint slide show will record team names
and track team scores throughout the game; the game can be ended at any
time, has provisions for a tiebreaking question, and will declare a winner based
on team scores.
Creating Your Presentation
To change the game show name, double-click on the title on Slide 1.
To change category titles, select View > Master > Slide Master in the
PowerPoint menu bar. (Slide images can also be deleted or replaced in master
slides.) Change category listings on the quiz board in normal mode. Type
questions and answers in the boxes provided on question slides, making sure
to add a question to the “Tiebreaker” slide (Slide 4). Categories or questions
can be reduced by deleting question slides as well as their corresponding
buttons on the quiz board, but the tiebreaking slide should be retained.

Instructions
Starting the Game
Macros must be enabled for the game to function properly.
(Settings under Tools > Macros > Security should be set to “Medium” and any
open files, including this one, must be closed completely and re-opened for the
changes to take effect.)
Run the PowerPoint presentation from the first slide. On Slide 2, click the “Play
Game” button to set the number of teams and to enter team names. Each team
should have their team name and number written down, preferably in a location
where the presenter can see them. You will then have the option of having
scores presented in a dialog box each time a button is pushed; this optional
feature can help students keep careful track of their scores, but can slow down
the game slightly. Type “Y” in the box if you wish to enable this feature.
The presentation will then advance to the Quiz Board.

Instructions
Playing The Game
Select a team to choose the first category and point value and
click on the text link they choose (clicking anywhere else in the box will not
advance the slide). The presentation will advance to the selected question;
read the question to the students, and allow the first team with an answer to
answer the question. When they have stated their answer, click once on the
slide to reveal the correct answer. Add or subtract points using the team
number’s buttons next to the “+” and “-” symbols at the bottom of the question
slide. (If you selected for scores to be continuously displayed, a dialog box will
appear detailing the scores should now appear.) The presenter can award
points to multiple teams for answering a question if desired. Click on the yellow
arrow button to return to the Quiz Board. The team with the correct answer
should choose the next category and point value. Questions that have been
accessed will have gray point values, but can be accessed again if desired,
with points allotted in the same manner as before.
You can display all teams’ scores at any time by clicking on the “Current
Scores” button on the Quiz Board.

Instructions
Ending the Game
When all questions have been answered, or when the available
time is up, the presenter can end the game by clicking on the “Declare Winner”
button in the bottom righthand corner of the Quiz Board slide. The game will then
compare the scores of each team and, if one team has the highest score, will
advance to a screen declaring that team the winner and stating the number of
points they earned. If two or more teams are tied for the high score, a dialog box
will appear which asks the presenter to identify the tied teams.
A “Tiebreaker” slide will then appear. The full range of team numbers will be
shown, but only those teams tied for the high score should be permitted to
answer. Allow additional tied teams to attempt to answer if the first answering
team’s answer is incorrect, until a team supplies the correct answer. Then click
on that team’s team number to advance the presentation to the slide declaring
that team the winner.
Note: To play the game again, you should escape out of presentation mode and
restart the presentation to reset hyperlinks on the Quiz Board.
