Cash Battle is a high-stakes trivia auction game where players gamble their money, outbid opponents, buy hints, survive elimination rounds, and fight to become the richest player standing.
Each round begins with a random category selection followed by a live auction. Players secretly manage their bankrolls, strategically raise bids, and risk huge amounts of cash for the chance to answer increasingly valuable trivia questions. Win the round and claim the prize pool — fail, and the money carries over into the next battle.
Built entirely in PowerPoint with advanced VBA automation, Cash Battle combines trivia, bluffing, auctions, strategy, and risk management into a fast-paced live game-show experience.
