1. Am I able to download the games? Can I get them on CD?
You are able
to download the games. All single games and collections are available
to download straight to your computer immediately after your purchase
is complete. The files are downloaded as zip files (which most
computers are able to unzip automatically). If you need a free
unzipping program, please check the downloads
page for a link to one. We do offer the option to have your
order added to a CD and mailed to you
for $5.00 if you order a 10 game collection or one of our package
deals. Please note that this service is only available for addresses
within the United States. Once you have downloaded your games,
you can burn them onto a CD so that you have a backup copy. We
just ask that you do not share the games with other churches or
organizations.

2. Can I modify the games after I buy them?
Yes. The games
are not protected by password or locked from editing. If there's
a question you don't like, you can remove it. Don't like the animations
on one of the slides? Change it from "appear" to "slide
from left." In some of the games you can edit the text of
the questions or replace the backgrounds if they don't show up
well on your screen. Other games have backgrounds that are just
a picture of the text and it won't be able to be changed. You
do have free range once the game is purchased. But remember, the
game is still copyrighted by Point Man Games and cannot be shared,
resold or redistributed.

3. Are the games hard to understand? Will I need to practice before
using them?
The games
are very self explanatory and each one comes with a slide or two
of instructions which you can read right along with your youth
group when you play the game. You could probably play most of
them without having previewed them at all.
Each game
comes with detailed instructions that run you through the in's
and out's of the game. We do suggest running through it once before
hand so you can see when you'll need to click and when the slides
have their own animations.
An answer
key is provided with each game so you'll know which person or
team got it right before the slide shows the answer.
To see how
easy they are to use, download the
free sample game and give it a try.

4. Can I give the games to my friends for use with their youth
groups?
No.
With the purchase of a game you have license to use it within
your church or organization. The Sr High youth pastor can share
it with the Jr High or 6th grade teachers for use at the church.
Other youth pastors will need to purchase their own copy of the
game. But do feel free to tell them about Point Man Games and
let them know about how you've enjoyed using our games with your
group.

5. What sparked Einstein's interest in science at the age of five?
A compass.
You learn something new each day.

6. My hard drive crashed and I lost the games I bought from you.
Do I have to repurchase them?
No, you don't
have to buy them again. We have a Games-For-Life Guranatee which
means that once you have purchased a game from us, you have that
game for life. If you accidentally delete them or lose them in
a hard drive meltdown, just sent us an e-mail with your name and
general date of original purchase and we'll send you links to
redownload the games.

7. I live in another country. Can I purchase and use your games?
Yes, the games
should work fine. When you pay through the website, it will convert
your currency to US dollars. Due to the strength of other currencies
compared to the dollar, you may get a pretty good deal. For those
of you here in the states thinking about it, no, it wouldn't be
worth it to fly over to the UK just to buy a couple of collections.

8. Can I pay for the games with a check?
Yes, you can.
You'll need to print out the mail order
form and send it along with your check. Our address is:
 Point
Man Games
PO Box 35
Johnston,
IA 50131
Once the check
clears, we will send you a link to download the games.

9.
How many questions are in each game and how long do they usually
last?
There are
usually between 11-13 questions in each game. The length of time
the game takes depends on if there is a worksheet to fill out
or other preparations for the game as well as how long you give
your group to try to come up with the answer for each question.
Generally, a game will last around 4 to 7 minutes but some could
last 10 minutes or more (such as the Tourney Time games which
have tournament brackets to fill out before the game begins).

10. I have an idea for a game. Can I send it to you?
Sure. If it's
an original idea that we end up using, you'll get a free copy
of the game and your choice of a free collection.

11. What does the name of your site mean?
A "point
man" is a person who has a crucial role in the forefront
of an enterprise. He's the go-to guy you can rely on when you
need expertise in a certain area. That's what we strive to be
for you - the go-to place for your PowerPoint quizes, trivia and
games. The word "point" is also a play off of PowerPoint.
If you need
the "games" part explained, you need a lot more help
than we're able to give you.

12. My download link expired before I was able to download the
games. What do I do?
Please e-mail
us at service@pointmangames.com
to let us know that you need the download link re-activated. There
is a message that the website gives you when your link has expired.
If you copy the link in that message into the e-mail that you
send to us, it will help us locate your order faster. You will
receive an e-mail from us notifying you that the link has been
re-activated and you can attempt to download your games again.
