3. Create a hyperlink between the leftmost 10 button on the game board to the Safety for 10 Points slide.

EXPERT TIP 

If you were going to set this game up on a self-running kiosk, you would want to put it into Kiosk mode so that clicking on the slide itself does not advance the presentation. To do so, on the Slide Show tab, click Set Up Slide Show and choose Browsed at a Kiosk (Full Screen).
