I am designing a Family Fued Game for my office Christmas Party. I would
like to use PowerPoint for the presentation. I am having difficulty with the
following
1. The individual slide would have 6 answer boxes numbered 1 - 6. The
answers should be hidden.
2. When the game participant says one of the hidden answers, I want to
reveal that answer. As the game continues answers would be revealed.
3. If the participant says the answer that is under #3, can PowerPoint be
used so that I can click on the # 3 box to reveal the answer? Once an
answer is revealed, it would stay revealed. Then if the participant says the
answer under #1, I would like to click the # 1 box to reveal it, and so on.
4. I am able to hide the answer boxes but when I click the slide during the
presentation, the first box opens, then the second and so on. I need them to
open randomly as I choose them.

Glad that helped. You might be interested in our commercial game creator
AddIns which will help you produce your own professional games in an instant!
We don't currently do a "Family Feud" game but Millionaire & Blockbuster are
great for parties.

There's a completely FREE demo that will make 5 games with no other
restrictions except that we would like to be credited.
