Starting with version 6.0, there's a better way to run Toss-Ups. Append a T to the puzzle number on puzzle load to start Toss-Up mode, then click "Reveal a Letter" to reveal one random letter at a time. In addition, adding score during a Toss-Up now automatically reveals the rest of the puzzle, saving a click.
SO EXCITED about the features in this latest version! Can’t wait to take advantage of them the next time I host Wheel for friends or a large event. Thanks for sharing!
Version 5.1 has been released, which adds: - An optional shot clock that helps enforce time limits on player decisions - Improved toss-up handling - The ability to shift puzzles up/down in the puzzles editor
Version 5.2 has been released. Highlights include: - Support for puzzles in foreign languages (see blog post for supported languages and limitations) - Letter selector highlighting - Smart puzzle loading - Improved wheel item handling Blog post: www.gamesbytim.com/blog/wheel-of-fortune-for-powerpoint-v5.2-hola-mundo/
Hi! This is Daniel a fan of Wheel of Fortune. I’m really enjoying this PowerPoint game so much that I seem to not find the Bonus Wheel that contains 24 prize envelopes. Are you able to make another update on that template by showing the Bonus wheel by spin click and reveal a prize envelope? Thank You!
Is this game still workable? I downloaded and watched this video but not able to edit it. If I click on how to use it doesnt do anything except allow you to edit that box.
Because I cannot reproduce this issue, I need more information to help debug. - What version of PowerPoint do you use? - Do you use Windows or Mac? - Are you certain macros and active content are enabled? - Do the buy vowel buttons work? (Many others reported this issue, which I also cannot reproduce, so I wonder if there might be an underlying bug.) - Are you still able to manually edit the Value Panel and otherwise operate the game without the wheel? Thank you for your cooperation. Feel free to email as well (find on Contact page on my site).
@@gamesbytim6334 - I use PowerPoint 2013 - Windows - Yes, I'm certain to activated macros and content enabled - Sorry, I don't understand when you say "buy vowel button work" - Yes, I can edit manually the amount
@@simonebiliato3170 Thank you for the info so far. The buy vowel button is the orange circle to the left of each player's score. Clicking it should subtract the vowel cost from the corresponding player's score.
@@simonebiliato3170 I was able to reproduce the issue when I changed my Windows display language from US English to UK English. Very interesting bug, I'll see what I can do about it.
Unfortunately it is not possible to change the wheel to those values, as the actual show never had values that low. I'll keep this request in mind for the future though.
Hi Tim. Another question. I checked out your Bingo Master Board. I love it but was wondering if there were pre-made for players or do I need to create them? Thanks in advance!
As of now, you'll need to provide your own Bingo cards for players. Maybe in the future I'll have a solution for this problem. Hope your Wheel of Fortune virtual game night went well!
Check if your Macro Security are set to "Disable all macros without notification" in PowerPoint's settings. Ideally, you should "Disable all macros with notification" so PowerPoint will notify whether to enable macros. Once you enable content once (on Windows), you shouldn't see the notification again. You can also bypass the notification altogether if Macro Security is set to always enable macros (though I don't recommend this).
@@gamesbytim6334 , thank you for your prompt response. I'll work on it tonight and let you know how it goes. Preparing for Virtual Game Night at school.
Hi Tim, thank you so much for this amazing job. I was wondering if there is a way to type Arabic puzzles and change the letters? Currently when I try to type a puzzle in Arabic I can't type Arabic letters and I get weird letters instead. also there's a problem with the category name.. I can't type in there.
Version 5.1.1 has been released, which fixes issues with the Value Panel and buy vowel/transfer totals buttons if your display language is not US English. If you're not from the US, please update.
@@coolisa7222 Currently it's not possible to add more than 4 player slots due to space constraints. If you need more than 4 players, I recommend splitting players into teams. You can also use rusnakcreative's Wheel of Fortune, which supports up to 6 players if you're ok not being able to see everyone's scores at once.
This looks great! Out of curiosity, would the puzzles still work even if we don't use the wheel on the slide show? The plan is making a physical wheel and using the PowerPoint for the puzzle board. We've gone down the rabbit hole among friends so this will be a way to spice up our Discord calls
Last I checked, the process to enable macros is nearly the same for PowerPoint 2007 and newer. If you run the game without macros enabled, you should receive a popup that will take you to the below page that explains how to enable macros. www.gamesbytim.com/blog/powerpoint-game-not-working-how-to-enable-macros/

This is so helpful! Thank you very much
Hey, Tim! If I were to edit the puzzles( like the words and stuff) would they save if I were to save and exit and then come back to it later?
I have a problem. Every time I download wheel of fortune the latest version, it downloads office 2010
Thanks Tim. this is so cool!
This is awesome! can I use google slides to run this or do I need to buy a copy of Powerpoint?
Can I edit the amount on the wheel?
I love this bro im gonna be on your site alot
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing it.
You're welcome. And thank you for using Wheel of Fortune for PowerPoint!

Is there a way to change the language of the game in this pp?

How to reset the total without wiping the puzzle board
Hi, Tim! How to change the values of spin? I would like to make it 1 point to 50 points only for 2nd graders.

Currently when I try to type a puzzle in Arabic I can't type Arabic letters and I get weird letters instead.
also there's a problem with the category name.. I can't type in there.
Unfortunately due to limitations in VBA, Arabic letters are not supported. VBA appears to only parse letters within the extended ASCII table.

Yes, you absolutely can use the puzzle board itself without the virtual wheel. Just click on the Value Panel to manually set the spun wheel values.

You don't have to use the built-in wheels. See 1:54.

You can adjust the wheel values to what the actual show used circa 2013 (with $300 wedges). Full-on customization is not yet available.
