Play Only Connect at home! These are PowerPoint games based on the British TV quiz show Only Connect. There’s a semi-blank template you can change to make your own, a game with mixed questions for general trivia, and themed games (great for teachers!).
Free/Basic: Blank | General Trivia | Math | Science | English
Advanced/More Questions: Movie Trivia | More General Trivia
Every PowerPoint file:
- Includes audio embedded in the slides.
- Shows a countdown timer much like the real game.
- Is fully editable so you can make it work with your own topics.
- Provides full directions on how to play.
- Saves as a PPTX (works with PowerPoint and other slideshow programs).
Free Blank Template
This is a template that’s ready for you to edit with your own questions and answers. Copy the slides as many times as you see fit for more questions, depending on your needs.
Free General Trivia Game
This game is ready to go with pre-filled questions and answers. There are 49 general knowledge questions here.
Free Math Game (Mini)
Math teachers will love this template! It includes 20 premade math-related questions and answers that you can start playing right after downloading it.
Free Science Game (Mini)
This Only Connect PowerPoint game covers science. Like the math game, this one has 20 premade questions and answers.
Free English Game (Mini)
Here’s an English version that’s very similar to the above two.
Movie Trivia
Prefer to play Only Connect with images like in the real game? There are 40 questions and answers here that’ll prove difficult even for the biggest movie buffs.
General Knowledge Trivia
This is identical to the movie quiz above, but it’s a bit easier and covers general knowledge.
Tips for Playing Only Connect
Detailed directions are included in every file linked above. You can edit the questions and answers to be whatever you want. And although the real Only Connect game only has 25 questions between these three rounds, you can edit the template so it’s a quick game with just a few questions, or copy the slides to make lots of questions.
The games that have the questions pre-filled can be played alone, just don’t scroll through the slides before you start the slideshow, or you’ll see the answers! To play with friends where you’re the host, I recommend Zoom or Google Meet—any platform that supports video and screen sharing is great.
