Wits & Wagers is a fast-paced live trivia betting game where players don’t need to know the correct answer — they just need to make the best guess and wager strategically.
Each round begins with a numerical trivia question. Players secretly submit their answers, which are then automatically sorted from lowest to highest onto the game board. Once all answers are revealed, players place wagers on which answer they believe is closest to the correct answer without going over.
The farther an answer is from the center, the bigger the payout odds become — creating a mix of trivia knowledge, risk-taking, bluffing, and strategy. Players can split wagers, bet aggressively, or play safely as scores rise throughout the game.
Built entirely in advanced PowerPoint VBA automation, Wits & Wagers recreates the feel of a live game show with animated answer cards, dynamic wager placement, customizable rules, secret wagers, scoring systems, audio integration, and projector-friendly gameplay.
