How to play: -This is a game for 2-6 teams.
-Each team gets a coloured token (red, orange, blue, yellow, green, or purple)
-Each game token has six coloured pie segments.
-All tokens start in the middle hexagon.
-Teams spin the spinner to determine how many spaces they can move. (It is highly recommended to click the wheel several times in different spots for the most randomized results)
-When you land on one of the coloured spaces you must choose a matching card, if you land on a black space you may choose any colour card.
-When you land on a large space and answer correctly you get a pie segment of that colour.
-For each card correctly answered you may assign one point to that team. If all teams fail the primary goal of collecting all of the different pies, you can use the points to decide a winner
Goals:
-Be the first team to collect all six pie segments and make it to the center hexagon to face the final challenge. The secondary goal is to collect the most points.
-Points: This is kind of up to the game runner, but I was thinking of something like 1 point for every correct answer. Once you have a pie segment maybe you could give a bonus point for answering other questions of that colour.
-When you reach the center hexagon after collecting all of the pie segments the other teams get to choose the category for your final question. To speed up the game this question can be asked immediately after the team gets their final pie segment. If they fail the question they simply try again on their next turn, the opponents may choose a new category.
Notes:
-There are two banks of cards for each colour with 25 questions each for a total of 50. In total there are 300 Questions.
-I’ve set up each card to have multiple choice style answers, all of the triggers are in place you simply need to write in questions and answer choices.
-You don’t need to use the multiple choice questions, you can change the style, but do it on the same slide and keep the little token marker that sends you to the scoreboard.
-Click a pie segment to turn it on, click again to turn it off.
-It is best to erase the scores while in presentation mode before you save the file.
-The tokens are not drag and drop. You click once to pick it up, and a second time to drop it.
-If you have trouble with the game template visit:
-Made and tested with PowerPoint 2007 for windows XP, I can’t be sure that everything works in other versions.
