I have been asked to build 'something' for use as a game in a live classroom. I am looking at it as a challenge of using Articulate a little differently than usual since the presenter will be using the software projected on a screen rather than the learner navigating. I'm thinking things like asking a question with tabs Engage interaction and the presenter clicks on the answer of general consensus or something like that, possibly using the learning games in Articulate as well. I do have some flash games, but I'm not a flash developer so not as easy to customize those (though I can fill in the blanks to make them work). I'm hoping the creativity of the Articulate community may have some better ideas though!
The first thing that comes to my mind is the "Learning Games" button that displays on the Articulate tab in PowerPoint. There are a few to choose from.
Choices: Answer multiple choice questions until the time runs out. Maybe they could divide up into 2 teams and whoever answers the most questions in the time allotted wins.
Word Quiz: Reveal an answer one letter at a time. Maybe use it like Jeopardy.
Sequence: Ask learners what sequence something should be in and see if they are right at the end.
You can also build the interactivity into the slide show by making shapes look like buttons (your choices) and then hyperlinking to other slides. There are several excellent examples on this website...I can try to find and post some later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

I hope this helps!
