Free "Create Your Own Quest" Game Template - PowerPoint Version!
Jun 17, 2014
This week's challenge is to take a fully-customizable game template that I created in Storyline and make it into your own game. Here's the challenge: E-Learning Challenge: Steal This E-Learning Template.
I just made a PowerPoint version that's as close as I could make it to the Storyline version, and I'm attaching the download file.
Links that might help:
- The template is based on my original German drinking game, and this is a post comparing the two.
- My video walk-throughs of the German game versus the template. I made them for the Storyline version, but you can still glean some helpful information from them as a PowerPoint user.
- My own challenge entry this week where I took the template and made a sales game out of it. I included before-and-after captures at the end which might be helpful, too.
I hope you enjoy using it!

Hi Jackie,
Thank you so much! You are wonderful to have done this so quickly. I will work on my challenge and hope to have something to share by the end of the week. Thanks again!
Not often we see custom projects reverse engineered to generic Storyline all the way down to generic PowerPoint but that's how we roll in this community.
Thanks for sharing the template, Jackie.
Hi Jackie,
Your game template is amazing!!
Am so keen to use it in my next instructional design assignment..!! Can't wait to see and hear the reaction of my colleagues!
But, was just wondering, in the ppt mode, how can I change the labels on the map, 'Label 1', 'Label 2', etc.. they seem uneditable in the ppt version.. :(
Can you help please..?
Hi Shilpa,
Thank you so much! I'm very happy you'll get to put it to good use and amaze your colleagues. (Colleagues should always be amazed.) Wish I could see the end result!
The game board and any other elements that might seem to be "locked" are just on the slide master and very easy to change. Just go to View > Slide Master, and choose the master slide you want to edit. In normal view I believe you'll see them over to your left on the side.
This is one of the reasons I suggested watching the videos I made. They show the Storyline version, but when it comes to editing the slide masters, the procedure is very similar. The 2 videos are here and you might want to take a look at them just to learn a bit more: http://www.jackievannice.com/?p=175064358
Thanks for your question, Shilpa - and have fun!

Hello All,
Thought I'd jump in on this one. It is a take on the classic trivial persuit game. I used the built in questions so that it can be tracked and scored.
have some fun with it.

Hi Ari!
I'm so glad you're jumping in! I know it's confusing with multiple threads about this template, but if you post your entry over on David's challenge page you'll have officially made it in.
