PowerPoint Game Shows
Eugene Vale, Missouri State Parks
Any interpretation that does not somehow relate what is being displayed or described
to something within the personality or experience of the visitor will be sterile.
Freeman Tilden’s first principle of interpretation
Examples of what are within most people’s experience these days are TV game shows. Field
interpreters have long used variations on these popular programs to get across their messages.
PowerPoint has been a popular medium for mimicking these game shows. However, the time
required to do the programming can be a major obstacle.
Here we present two templates based on TV Game shows: MoParky based upon Jeopardy ® and
Friendly Feud based upon Family Feud®. In both cases virtually no programming is required. The
questions and answers are simply entered into the template.
Generally if you have the ability to project a PowerPoint program you have most of what you
need to run these games. In our presentations, we usually have one MC and one scorekeeper in
addition to the contestants. The contestants and sometimes the scorekeeper are volunteers from the
audience. Scorekeeping is done on small inexpensive dry wipe boards. We did buy one special
piece of equipment (cost $ 35.03--we didn’t buy direct from the manufacturer), a set of game show
buzzers for MoParky. This was the Educational Insights wired version of Eggspert.
http://www.educationalinsights.com/product/eggspert.do?sortby=ourPicks&sortby=&&from=Search
It will take up to six contestants at once, although the traditional number is three. There is also a
more expensive wireless Eggspert, which can optionally be expanded to 12 players. The company
also markets their own classroom version of Jeopardy®.
Included with this document are four folders: FriendlyFeud, MoParky, AMI_FriendlyFeud, and
AMI_MoParky. In all cases, the files contained within these folders must be kept together. They
“talk” to each other. The first two are the essentially blank templates for the games and each
contains a document of instructions. AMI_FriendlyFeud folder contains an actual game that was
played at the 2010 Association of Missouri Interpreters Workshop (AMI_FriendlyFeud.ppt). The
folder also contains instructions and a copy of the survey that was used to construct the game. The
AMI_MoParky folder also contains an actual game that was played at the 2010 AMI ((Master_
MoParky.ppt) along with instructions and supporting media files, the database, and hyperlinked
PowerPoints.

Do it Yourself MoParky.
MoParky is based on the popular game show Jeopardy®. I hope you find this set of files useful.
We’ll start stepping through how they are used, and I think you’ll find this a lot easier than trying
to build your own MoParky PowerPoint every time.
Setting up Access & PowerPoint
First there are some issues that need to be addressed with both MicroSoft Access and PowerPoint.
Microsoft Office 2003
Access:
Microsoft Office 2007
Access:
Microsoft Office 2010
Access:
On the Main Menu go to Tools |
Macro | Security. The Security Level
must be set to Medium or Low for
the files to work. You can always
set it back to High when you are
finished.
The default security setting is “Disable
all macros with notification.” Unless
this has been altered, you don’t need to
change it. If you get a security warning
(bar below the ribbon), see the Note
below.

Microsoft Office 2003
PowerPoint:
Same thing. On the Main Menu go to
Tools | Macro | Security. The Security
Level must be set to Medium or Low
for the files to work. You can always
set it back to High when you are
finished.
Note: At the Medium setting you will
get a dialogue box and need to click
“Enable Macros” for the files to run.
The Low setting will just run the files.
Also in PowerPoint, go to Tools |
Options. On the View tab uncheck
both the “Show popup toolbar” and the
“End with black slide” boxes. If you
like these features, you can set them
back when using other PowerPoints,
but they will interfere with these files
and need to be unchecked.
Microsoft Office 2007
PowerPoint:
Same thing. The security in
PowerPoint 2007 works exactly
the same as in Access 2007, except
that you will need to click on the
“PowerPoint Options” button.
Also in PowerPoint, Click on the
Microsoft Office Button and then
click on the PowerPoint Options
Button. Click on Advanced
(on the left). Under the Slide
Show heading, uncheck both the
“Show popup toolbar” and the
“End with black slide” boxes. If
you like these features, you can
set them back when using other
PowerPoints, but they will interfere
with these files and need to be
unchecked.
Microsoft Office 2010
PowerPoint:
Same thing. The security in
PowerPoint 2010 works exactly the
same as in Access 2010.
Also in PowerPoint, on the menu,
click on the File tab. Click on the
Options Button on the lower left, above
“Exit.” Click on Advanced (on
the left). Under the Slide Show
heading (bottom), uncheck both
the “Show popup toolbar” and the
“End with black slide” boxes. If
you like these features, you can
set them back when using other
PowerPoints, but they will interfere
with these files and need to be
unchecked.
How it works (a partial example)
Before telling you how to set up your own show, we’ll go through an example and demonstrate
how things work.
You were given a folder (MoParky) that contains three files and a subfolder. These files and the
subfolder must be kept together at all times. If you move to a different computer, move the entire
folder, not just one file or subfolder. These are:
Bell.WAV
DayDbl.ppt
Do it Yourself MoParky.doc (This file.)
Master_MoParky.ppt
MoParky.mdb
AddedFiles (subfolder)
The subfolder “AddedFiles” would typically be empty, but we have some media files in there that
will be used in our examples. You must keep everything in the “MoParky” folder together. Copy
the entire folder to somewhere on your computer. The root directory of your C:\ or D:\ drives will
work well. It will not work from the Desktop. See footnote if you want to put the MoParky folder
somewhere other than the root directory. 1
If you try to open and run the Master_MoParky.ppt, you will be quite disappointed. Not much
happens, because we haven’t created our example show, yet. Close it, and open MoParky.mdb.
1
Exactly where you put the MOPARKY folder on your computer is not important, but the path must not contain any spaces (That’s
why the Desktop won’t work.) and should not be too long. In other words, don’t have this folder inside a folder inside a folder
inside a folder… A little nesting is okay, but don’t over do it. You probably won’t need to worry about this, but try to keep it less
than 250 characters; less than 120 is better. If the path gets too long or has even one space in it, the Visual Basic Code which runs
this process will break down.
MoParky.mdb will open right to the Form. In Office 2010 you may need to minimize the
Navigation Pane. The first displayed is MoParky with the categories and first row of answers /
questions displayed. Remember in MoParky the contestants get the answer, and must respond
with the question. (“Please be sure it is in that form.”)
It is possible to have a simple answer and question, or the answer and question may have some
media file associated with it. There are three possible types of media files: picture, sound, video.
On this opening form you will immediately see all four cases. For 100, Wildflowers has a picture,
the Civil War has a video, Birds has a sound, and Famous Missourians has no media. Columns 5
& 6 are just place holders.
Note: Some older computers have problems with various media formats. This is related
to the software on the computer and things like processor speed. You should always do a
dry run before presenting this or any program to the public.
You can cycle through the 100 to 500 rows by using the “Previous” button to the lower left or the
“Next” button to the lower right. The rows 200—500 just have place holders in them.
In the upper left hand corner is a “Go To” button. The caption will change depending on where
you are in the process. Right now it should say “Go To Double MoParky.” Go ahead and click
it. Notice that the categories have changed and the rows now go from 200—1000 in steps of 200.
Otherwise the set up and operation is exactly the same as MoParky.
The “Go To” button now says “Go To Final MoParky.” Go ahead and click it. This is pretty much
the same thing but with a single Final MoParky category, answer and question. The button now
says “Go To MoParky,” and if you click it, you are back at where we started.
To make a question key for the Game Host, click on the “Print Question Key” button in the upper
right. You will get a Print Preview. If that looks acceptable you can send it to the printer.2
Now we are ready to produce the game. Also to the upper right is a “Make MoParky PowerPoint”
button. Click it. In MS Office 2003 and 2007, a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the
screen. In MS Office 2010, a PowerPoint window may open and you may be able to watch the
shows being assembled. When it is done, a dialogue box will open telling you that it is finished,
and asking if you want to open the MoParky Game. Click Yes.3
Access closes, and you are now in PowerPoint with Master_MoParky.ppt open.

Be sure that you are on the first slide,
and start the slide show as you prefer.
One way to do this is View | Slide Show.
There is also an icon to the lower left.
By the menu Slide Show | Start Slide
Show | From Beginning. There is also
an icon to the lower right. If you use the
icon, you must be on the first slide.

Check the page set up if the Print Preview looks wrong. Settings often change with the printer. The page set up should be letter
size--landscape with the top and bottom margins at 0.4 inches. The right and left margins should be 0.6 inches.
If you have a non-standard Microsoft Office installation, clicking the “Yes” button may not work. You will need to open Master_
MoParky.ppt manually. It is in the MoParky folder that you’ve already copied to your computer.
The “AddedFiles” folder has had 62 additional files added to it. Remember to keep the entire
“MoParky” folder together if you move to another machine. Should you want to repeat this game
exactly at a later time, all you need to do is open Master_MoParky.ppt. However, if you do this
the Daily Doubles will remain in the same place. If you want the Daily Doubles to be randomly
assigned to different questions, open the MoParky.mdb database and click the “Make MoParky
PowerPoint” button. The answers and questions will remain unchanged, but the Daily Doubles
will move.
If you are using a touch pad as a pointing device (mouse) see footnote.4
PowerPoint 2010 requires this extra step: Press Alt Tab to move from the running show to the
PowerPoint Window. Minimize the PowerPoint Window. Move onto proceeding with the game.
To proceed with playing the game, you must click on the text “Let’s Play MoParky!”5 Clicking on
the blue background will not work. Go ahead and click on the text. Does this look familiar?
Click on Wildflowers for 100. The MoParky Answer comes up and you are prompted to click
for the associated picture. Click and the picture will appear. Click again and you will get a blue
slide. This is to prevent accidentally revealing the correct question. At this point you can go onto
the Question by clicking again. Or, you can back up by pressing the “Page Up” button on your
computer. Pressing “Page Up” once returns you to the picture; pressing it again returns you to the
answer. You go forward by clicking in the same manner as you did the first time.
Click on the Question, and you will be returned to the master slide. Wildflowers 100 is now blank,
and if you click on it, nothing happens. Boxes can be clicked in any order, but all of our examples
are in the 100 row, and so let’s go onto Civil War for 100. Click on it. This answer has a video
associated with it. The process is very similar to the one above. Once the video finishes playing,
click on it, and you will be at a blue slide, which works the same as it did in the previous example.
Normal hook up where the computer screen and projector show the same view works just fine.
Beware of other setups.6
Once you are back at the main slide, go onto Birds for 100. This answer has an associated sound
file. To play it you must click on the sound icon to the lower right. Click anywhere on the blue,
and you will go to a blue slide. Another click will bring up the answer, and when you click on that
you will get a picture of the Whip-poor-will.
One more example, click on Famous Missourians for 100. There is no media associated with the
question, but the answer will be followed by a picture of Mark Twain. The Park It for 100 has no
media of any kind. You can go ahead and click on through back to the master slide.
You can experiment, if you like, by clicking on any of the other boxes. They are all place holders,
but you will notice that you do not need to follow any particular order. There are even Daily
4
Most touch pads read a tap on the pad as a click. Should your hand shake while moving the pointer, you may inadvertently activate a question other than the one you wanted. It is recommended that you either disable this feature or use an external mouse.
5
If you want to change the name that appears on the slide to one different than MoParky, do not delete this WordArt, the code
that runs the game will go with it. Instead, in the normal view, double click on the WordArt and change it in the Edit WordArt Text
popup which opens.

Beware of using two monitors with an extended desktop or a presenter view. With that set up videos will only play if PowerPoint
is shown on the Primary Monitor.
Doubles. However, if you want to keep score, you will have to do it manually. Small dry/wipe
boards work well.
If you actually click on all 30 boxes and wind up with a blank form, you might get frustrated,
because no amount of clicking will do anything. Calm down. Press the “Page Down” button on
your computer, and you will be at the start “Double MoParky” slide. To proceed, you must click
on the text “Double MoParky!” Clicking on the blue background will not work. Go ahead and
click on the text.
This just repeats the above process only with larger amounts. When you finish this slide, the
“Page Down” button takes you to Final MoParky. Click on the Category for the Final MoParky
answer.
Once you have gone through both the answer and question of Final MoParky, click on the blue
screen, and you will get the “Game Over” slide. When you close out of PowerPoint, do not save
any changes. If you do, this should not be a problem, but not saving is safer. You didn’t make any
changes, but maybe the computer did.
Producing your own MoParky Game
Now let’s go through the steps to make your own game. First close out of all Access and
PowerPoint files. If you want to save the current game, you must copy the entire folder and
rename it. You then have two options:
Modify this game.
You can leave most of this game intact and just edit particular sets of answers and questions, or
maybe change a category or two. Just be sure that if you change a question, you remove any
media files that are associated with the old question. Do this by simply highlighting and deleting
them both on the form and in the “AddedFiles” Folder.
Create an entirely new game from scratch.
If you choose to start from scratch, you can compose the file as you go along, or you can prepare
by collecting your media files, categories, answers and questions in advance. You will need six
categories each for MoParky and Double MoParky. Final MoParky requires one category with a
single answer / question pair. If media files are associated with any of these questions you should
get them together, but don’t copy them to the folder, yet. Any media files that are compatible with
PowerPoint should work (see below). It would be best if any high resolution photographs were
resized for PowerPoint, but that is not absolutely necessary.7
Note: You can stop with MoParky, and just leave Double MoParky and Final MoParky alone.
Nothing says that you always have to play the whole thing.
To do begin setting up a totally new game, click on the “Clear & Reset” button to the extreme
lower right. A dialogue box will appear giving you one last chance to change your mind. Click
“Yes” to start completely over. Everything is cleared. If you minimize Access, you can now copy
any new media files into the empty “AddedFiles” subfolder. Or you can copy them to the “Added
Files” subfolder later. The files must be in this folder to appear during the game.
Note: To work properly the names of the media files must not contain any spaces.
Returning to Access and the MoParky form, you should enter your six categories first. Start with
Column 1 and type in the category. Category names are limited to 50 characters. Pressing enter
will advance one line. Do that only if you want to force the category to appear on two lines.
Don’t use 3 lines; the forms and reports don’t have that much room. Use the mouse or press the
Tab key to advance to the second column, and so forth. You don’t need to go immediately to the
second column, you can work on one column at a time if you prefer.
Note: All fields (boxes) on this form require that some text be in them except for those in
the green “Optional” area.
Once you have the categories set, you can begin entering your Answers and Questions. Answers
and Questions are limited to 250 characters each. Pressing enter will advance one line. Do that
only where you want to force another line. Try to keep the line advances to a minimum or the text
might spill out of the box in the finished game. Remember in MoParky the contestants get the
answer, and must respond with the question. (“Please be sure it is in that form.”) You can enter
the answers and questions across the 100 row, or you can continue to go down the column by
using the “Previous” and “Next” buttons. Continue until you have filled all categories, columns
and rows.
7
Remember that some older computers have problems with various media formats. This is related to the software on the computer
and things like processor speed. You should always do a dry run before presenting this or any program to the public.
If any of your answers / questions have media files associated with them, here is how they are
added: With the answer and question showing, go to the Type and File Name fields, which are
immediately below, in the green “Optional” area. There are two options for each answer/question.
Answer media goes with the answer as a clue. Quest? media goes with the correct question, and
may be added to increase the interpretive value of the response. Select the type of file from the
pull down list (combo box). The choices are [blank], picture, sound, video. The [blank] is used
when there is no media file. After selecting the type of file, type the file name in the File Name
box. You can add the media files at any time before producing the game. The media files that
match your file names must be in the “AddedFiles” folder. Try not to have too many answers/
questions with associated large media files, it will slow down the game.
Once the MoParky columns and rows are full, click on the “Go To Double MoParky” button at
the upper left. Except for the numbers labeling the rows, this is exactly the same as the MoParky
section. When you are finished with it, click on the “Go To Final MoParky” button at the upper
left, and enter the Final MoParky category, answer, and question. Yes, you can also do media files
with Final MoParky.
You can use the buttons that have already been mentioned to cycle through and check / change
any of your work. To make a question key for the Game Host, click on the “Print Question Key”
button. You will get a Print Preview. If that looks acceptable you can send it to the printer. When
you are ready to produce your game, click on the “Make MoParky PowerPoint” button at the
upper right. Hey, we’ve been here before.
Access closes, and you are now in PowerPoint with Master_MoParky.ppt open. Should you
want to repeat this game exactly at a later time, all you need to do is open Master_MoParky.ppt.
However, if you do this the Daily Doubles will remain in the same place. If you want the Daily
Doubles to be randomly assigned to different questions, open the MoParky.mdb database and click
the “Make MoParky PowerPoint” button. The answers and questions will remain unchanged, but
the Daily Doubles will move. Start the slide show at the beginning, this will vary with the version
of PowerPoint (see below).

Open up Friendlyfeudtemplate.ppt. Before doing anything else, save it to a different name. That
will prevent you from overwriting the template. Keep a copy of the file Bell.WAV (don’t rename
it) with your new file, or the sound effects will not work.
You will notice that the template only has three slides: A title slide, a question slide, and an ending
slide that is currently blank. Do not alter the title slide or the question slide. You may insert
credits, or anything you want on the last slide. The title slide must remain first, and the ending
slide must remain last.
Questions:
•
•
•
•
•
Only five responses are allowed for each question. But you may have anywhere from 1 to 95
questions.
To allow for more than one question you must copy slide # 2 (the question slide), and paste it back
into the show as many times as necessary to get to the number of questions you have (up to 95).
Remember the title slide must remain first, and the ending slide must remain last.
You may want to save the file before proceeding.
Now you are ready to enter your questions and responses.
Setting up the Questions & Responses:
1. Go to the first slide and start the PowerPoint Show (F5 or Screen Icon to lower left also Slide
Show|View Show on the menu).
2. Use the spacebar or the PageDn button to navigate to the first question slide.
3. Click on the Set Up button to the lower left of the screen on the question slide.
4. Type your question into the input box, and click OK.
5. A box will come up for Answer 1, type in the most popular response.
6. Next it will ask you for percent of people giving that response.
