Download & Install Instructions

System Requirements

• PC ONLY: These games are engineered exclusively for Windows PC.
• NOT SUPPORTED: These files will NOT function on Mac, Chromebook, iPad, or Mobile devices.
• THE ENGINE: A full desktop installation of Microsoft PowerPoint (Office 2019, 2021, or Office 365) is required.
• NO EMULATORS: These games utilize advanced VBA logic that is NOT supported by Google Slides, OpenOffice, or PowerPoint Mobile/Web.

Installation Guide

1. Extract the ZIP File

Do NOT run the game directly from the compressed ZIP folder.

The VBA engine requires access to external files such as sounds, questions, graphics, and fonts. Running from a ZIP folder will prevent the game from functioning correctly.

Steps:

• Right-click the downloaded ZIP file
• Select Extract All...
• Choose a destination folder
• Click Extract

2. Move the Folder to a Local Drive

Run your games from a LOCAL folder only.

Cloud-sync services like OneDrive or SharePoint may alter file paths or temporarily lock files while syncing, which can break the VBA engine.

Recommended Locations:

• Desktop
• C:\ Drive

Avoid:

• OneDrive folders
• SharePoint folders
• Network drives
• External cloud storage

If you see a blue cloud icon next to the folder, move it to a local folder on your PC.

3. Unblock the PowerPoint File

Windows may block downloaded PowerPoint files by default.

Steps:

• Right-click the PowerPoint game file
• Select Properties
• Check the box labeled Unblock
• Click Apply → OK

This grants permission for the VBA engine to run properly.

4. Enable PowerPoint Macros & ActiveX Controls

These games require VBA macros and ActiveX controls for scoreboards, buzzers, timers, animations, and gameplay logic.

Inside PowerPoint:

Navigate To:

File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings

Macro Settings

Enable:

• Enable All Macros

ActiveX Settings

Enable:

• Enable all controls without restrictions

This is a one-time setup for your PC.

5. Install Included Fonts (If Provided)

Several games include a folder named:

Install_This_Font.zip

Installing the included fonts ensures the authentic TV Game Show appearance.

Steps:

• Open the font ZIP file
• Extract the contents
• Right-click each .ttf or .otf file
• Select Install

IMPORTANT: Install the fonts BEFORE opening PowerPoint, or the fonts may not display correctly.

REQUIRED: Live Presentation Setup

These games are designed specifically for LIVE game show environments using a dual-screen setup.

A second display is NOT optional for normal gameplay.

Required Equipment

• Windows PC
• TV, projector, or LED display
• Extended display configuration
• Microsoft PowerPoint desktop application

Configure Dual Displays

Steps:

1. Connect your PC to the TV or projector
2. Press Windows Key + P
3. Select EXTEND

Enable Presenter View

Inside PowerPoint:

• Go to the Slide Show tab
• Check Use Presenter View

Recommended Display Resolution

For the smoothest gameplay experience:

• Keep your display resolution at 1920x1080 or LOWER
• Extremely high resolutions (1440p, 4K, ultrawide, etc.) may introduce lag or reduce VBA responsiveness

These games rely on real-time VBA rendering and animation logic. Higher resolutions increase rendering load and may impact performance during live gameplay.

Why This Matters

These games operate using a Single-Slide VBA Architecture.

That means:

• The audience sees ONLY the polished game board
• The host controls gameplay from Presenter View
• Keyboard and buzzer inputs are handled through the host screen
• The VBA engine dynamically spawns questions, animations, timers, and scoreboards in real time

Without a proper dual-monitor setup, many gameplay features and controls will not function correctly.

Starting the Game

Launch Instructions

1. Open the PowerPoint file
2. Press F5 or click Slide Show
3. Move your cursor to the presentation screen
4. Click the black input bar labeled:

"CLICK HERE TO BEGIN"

IMPORTANT: Do NOT click anywhere else after engaging the input bar. Clicking the background may disconnect keyboard or buzzer inputs from the VBA engine.

Once connected, the game is controlled entirely through keyboard or buzzer inputs.

Display Scaling Fix

If buttons or click zones appear misaligned, Windows text scaling is interfering with VBA coordinate precision.

Recommended Fix:

1. Exit the presentation
2. Right-click your Desktop
3. Select Display Settings
4. Locate Scale and Layout
5. Set scaling to:

125%

1. Relaunch the game

This is the recommended scaling setting for the vast majority of systems.

Keyboard & Buzzer Controls

Many games use the Numeric Keypad for player inputs.

Default Player Mapping

• NumPad 1 → Player 1
• NumPad 2 → Player 2
• NumPad 3 → Player 3
• NumPad 4 → Player 4
• NumPad 5 → Player 5

IMPORTANT: Ensure Num Lock is turned ON before starting the game.

Controller Test

During gameplay, press:

` (Back Quote Key)

This opens the controller diagnostic tool to verify player connections.

Optional USB Buzzer Setup

Transform your setup into a professional live game show with physical buzzers.

Recommended Search:

Search:

• "Custom USB Buzzer" on AliExpress

Setup:

• Program each buzzer to NumPad 1–5
• The VBA engine will recognize the buzzers exactly like keyboard inputs

Customization & Editing

Most games support instant customization using local text files.

Common Features:

• Editable questions.txt files
• Dynamic scoreboards
• Real-time animations
• Fully unlocked VBA source code

To explore or modify the source code:

1. Open the game in PowerPoint
2. Press ALT + F11

Every game is fully unlocked and customizable for your ministry or event.
