Directions for Changing the Game
• To change the questions and answers, just type over the problems…Use the “replace” feature to change the categories easily
• The daily doubles were originally set to category #4 for $500 and category #2 for $300
• To change the daily doubles you must– 1. Change the hyperlink for the links on the main board
to go to the appropriate question, therefore bypassing the daily double slide
– 2. Change the hyperlink on the continue button on each daily double slide to go to the new question.
