slides and 25 answer
slides before proceeding

Step 30: Click “Insert” then click “Action”

34. 34
Step 31: Click “Hyperlink to” then select “Slide…”

35. 35
Step 32: Select your first “Clue Slide” then click “OK”
It should be slide 3.

36. 36
Step 33: Click “OK”

37. 37
Step 34: Repeat steps 29-33 until all question values
are hyperlinked to corresponding “Clue Slides”

38. Step 36: Take screenshot of the game board by pressing “Print Screen”

39. 39
Step 37: Go to your first answer slide and press Ctrl+V

40. 40
Step 38: Right click the image and crop it to show only the game board

41. 41
Step 39: Resize the game board image and move it to the bottom of the slide

42. Step 40: Highlight the game board image
42
Step 41: Click “Insert” then click “Action”

43. 43
Step 42: Click “Hyperlink to” then select “Slide…”

44. 44
Step 43: Select “Slide 2” then click “OK”

45. 45
Step 44: Click “OK”
Note: This game
board image is now
a direct path back to
the game board slide

46. 46
Step 45: “Right Click” then“Copy” the hyperlinked game board image

47. 47
Step 46: Paste the hyperlinked game board to every answer slide
Note: Be sure to
Keep Source
Formatting to keep
the hyperlink

48. 48
Test your completed game board.
Make sure every value link takes you
to the correct corresponding clue slide
Every answer slide should have a gameboard image
that is hyperlinked to the game board slide

49. 49
When on a clue slide, simply click to the next slide to see the answer.
After clicking a hyperlinked question value (blue), the text will change
color (purple) to indicate that the question has already been clicked.
