IS THIS OCEANS TRIVIA GAME COMPATIBLE WITH…?

• This game is NOT compatible with Google Slides, Open Office, Libre Office, or other software that is not PowerPoint 2016 or later. The game board dollar amounts are trigger animation links, which do not tend to work outside PowerPoint. The trigger animation links are important to game play.
