Games - Microsoft Powerpoint

PPT Games use a combination of both the Hyperlinking feature (discussed in Hyperlinked PDF section) and the PPT Trigger feature in order to create the "appearance" of interactivity.

Triggers: Initiate a sequence of animations by clicking on a specific object on the slide rather than simply clicking your mouse.
Sales: (Caution Icon)**Be aware the conversation around the client customizing the game/questions in the future will happen
