Whether you’re getting your team to loosen up, trying to wake up your students, or just looking for a fun activity with friends, slideshow games are an easy way to get everyone energized with excitement. They’re quick to set up, easy to customize, and way more fun than clicking through bullet points.

Here are nine ready-to-play slideshow games for any group, occasion, or any excuse to have a little fun together.
