I wanted a ‘family feud’ style gameshow in keynote, but it was a bit complicated trying to make the ‘right answer’ appear. I found the best way to do it was to have 25 slides of all the different possible combinations of hidden/shown answers, then a heap of hyperlinks between various slides depending on what answer was picked. It worked out well.
To change the answers, go to the master page, and edit the text fields that have the answers, be careful not to move any fields around, just edit the text in them.
To play the game, start the slideshow.
If there is a corrrect answer guessed, click on the appropriate box to reveal that answer – complete with sound efffects!
For a wrong answer, click anywhere on the background.
Here is a link to the keynote template.

Here are the rules from wikipedia:

Let me know how it goes!

It looks like a great file, but it took a while to load. Keynote kept asking for missing files. Do you have an update family feud file? I’m running Keynote 2.0.2.
Thanks !

It looks great but the pictures for the thumbs are so small.If you can please post bigger version.Also thanks so much i have to do project at school on any game! For the sounds can you please tell me where you dowloded it from cause it won’t work on my computer.
Thanks
Thank you so much! I used this game for my college class and my students loved it. The sound effects and music were a big hit.
Hi, I can’t seem to open the presentation in my keynote v 2.0.2. Is there an update or something I’m doing incorrectly? keynote crashes every time.
Thanks

This is great! How do you create more questions using the same file?
You just go into keynote, to the background slide, click on the question, and change it.
i’m new to keynote. i was wondering how everyone got it to work. i downloaded the file, but all i see are .mov and tiff files. can anyone help?
This is great! I want to have a whole gameshow – not just one question, but I don’t want to back out and retype more questions. How do I add more questions to the gameshow so it is one continuous gameshow with 5 different question segments?
The way I did it as to make 5 seperate slideshows – one for each game, and have them sitting on the desktop.
After each one quit and open the new one.
I had my presentation desktop set to a black background, so that you couldn’t tell on the projector that I had quit out of keynote.
This worked out great. Our church had a great time playing this.
What file do I open in Keynote. The files are extracted but I do not see a .key filetype to open. Suggestions?
What file do I open in Keynote.
Suggestions?
I got the correct filetype (.key) but now it doesn’t open in Keynote. It gets stuck halfway through the process.
Thanks!
Wait – it takes a loooong time to open!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I need to do a presentation for the city I work in – BUT I don’t have a mac. Is there any other program that I can run this in?? Please HELP!
This great! Two questions:
The .mov files were not linked up. Is there an easy way to replace them?
I would like to have 10 questions in a whole game. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks!!
we need this for a science class project can someone help us to get it open on a file and possibly put it on a smartboard ?
You need Keynote ’08 or newer to run this.
Can’t open. It seems to hang. Am using Keynote ’09. Any ideas?
Scratch that. It finally opened after a looong wait
When I re-saved it as a Keynote ’09 file, opening it again was a breeze.
Thanks!
Alex was right, it took forever to open, but when it finally did it was worth the wait! I had been looking around for at least an hour for good templates and wasn’t having much luck (yes, many templates, but all very basic looking). This one is amazing! Thank you so much for posting.
Fantastic. Thank you for posting this. Very well put together and fun to use. I agree with others that when it is resaved as an 09 file it reloads right away. I made 5 different files for 5 different questions. That video clip is a great touch. Thanks again for including all the files. I haven’t seen a cooler one than this even among the PPT files.
How long is “forever” – I’ve been waiting 2 hrs for this file to open.
Awesome job! Works great and will really add to my elementary school presentations!
We are trying to put together a presentation for some co-workers that are leaving and we would love use this but for some reason it’s not working right. Can anyone help? I have all the questions put together. Also, is there a Fast Money Round? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
