IS THIS TRIVIA GAME COMPATIBLE WITH...?

• This game is NOT compatible with Google Slides. The game board dollar amounts do not disappear in Google. This is important to game play.
• Open source software (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, etc) - Users have reported problems with the trigger animations when using this game with open source software. That means the game board dollar amounts might not click, might not go to the right slide, or might not disappear. I do not recommend using open source software for this game.
• Keynote seems to work for many users, but please test it with the demo link above to make sure.
• For best results, your PowerPoint version should be at least 2016 or later. Earlier versions of PPT do not support the feature that allows game board dollar amounts to disappear.
• Not sure your version of PPT? You can test the game (link above). If your dollar amounts disappear when you return to the game board, then your PowerPoint version is compatible with this game.
