How to make a story maze with PowerPoint

•Think of a situation, perhaps a dangerous or unusual one

•Think of the choices you may have in this situation – write down 3

•For each choice, think of another 2 or 3 different choices you could now make

•And so on, you can link some choices back to earlier in the story

Layout your PPT slide so that you have a sentence or two about the situation, a good picture, and two or three options – a) b) or c)

Now highlight the letter and click on ‘slide show’

Now click on ‘action settings’

Check the hyperlink button

Choose ‘link to next slide / slide number’

Write up the new slides and repeat the process

Tips•Don’t make it too long or complicated

•Have plenty of dead ends, game overs and links to earlier slides – or you will soon have hundreds of slides!

•Try to make it interesting or funny to play

•When you have finished, upload it to the wiki on the crazy mazes page
