You've seen game shows on TV your whole life — Family Feud, Jeopardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Now imagine running one of those shows at your own party, with your own questions, your own teams, and your own prizes. That's exactly what a digital game show is.
What Is a Digital Game Show?
A digital game show is a game show format — Family Feud, Jeopardy, Millionaire, Pub Trivia — that runs on a laptop, tablet, or computer and is displayed on a TV or projector for a group to play together. Instead of a TV studio and professional host, you have a living room, a laptop, and a downloaded PowerPoint file.
The result looks and feels like a real game show — animated reveals, scoreboards, dramatic music — but it's completely in your control. You choose the questions, you set the stakes, and you run the show.
How Digital Game Shows Work
- Download a game show template — instant download, available immediately after purchase
- Open it in PowerPoint — has product-specific device and PowerPoint requirements
- Customize the questions (optional) — or play with the questions already included
- Connect to your TV or projector — via HDMI or AirPlay
- Divide into teams and play — the game runs itself from there
Total setup time: under 5 minutes.
