- Play with colours, fonts, and themes to match your style or brand.
Or use the AhaSlides' AI slides generator to help create quiz questions. Simply add your prompt, then choose within 3 modes: Funnier, Easier or Harder to fine-tune the PPT quiz to your liking.

This quiz will stay on one slide, and you can use keyboard shortcuts to move to the next quiz slide, show the QR code for people to join, and put on quiz celebration effects like confetti to motivate the audience.
Step 3: Run an Interactive Quiz on PowerPoint
After you are done with the set-up, it's time to share your elaborated quiz with the world.
When you present your PowerPoint in slideshow mode, you'll see the join code appear on the top. You can click on the small QR code symbol to make it appear larger so everyone can scan and join on their devices.
🔎Tip: There are keyboard shortcuts to help you navigate the quiz better.
When everyone has appeared in the lobby, you can start your interactive quiz in PowerPoint.
Bonus: Review Your Post-event Quiz Statistics
AhaSlides will save the attendants' activity in your AhaSlides presentation account. After closing the PowerPoint quiz, you can review it and see the submission rate or feedback from the participants. You can also export the report to PDF/Excel for further analysis.
