Digital Game Shows products are digital downloads. Compatibility differs by product, especially when a file uses macros or automatic scoring. Always check the product page before purchasing; its requirements control when they differ from this general guide.
File formats
| Format | What it means |
|---|---|
| .pptx | A standard PowerPoint presentation. Interactive links, media and animations can still require the desktop PowerPoint app. |
| .pptm | A macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation. Macros must be enabled for features such as automatic scoring when the product states that they are included. |
| Instructions or an answer key intended for viewing or printing. | |
| .zip | A compressed download that must be extracted before opening the included files. |
Software and devices
- Windows and Mac: Use a supported desktop version of Microsoft PowerPoint stated on the product page. Some products specify PowerPoint 2013 or later.
- PowerPoint Online: Interactive links, media and macros can be limited and are not supported for products that explicitly require the desktop app.
- Google Slides and Keynote: Do not assume compatibility. Products that state they require PowerPoint are not supported in Google Slides or Keynote.
- iPad and mobile: Some files may open for presentation, but macros and automatic scoring generally require a supported desktop version. For full functionality, host from a supported Windows or Mac computer unless the product page explicitly confirms otherwise.
