after each slide return to a certain slide

I have a game created in powerpoint, when asked the question and given the
answer I need to return to the same slide where the questions are, what do I
need to do this so when I click the mouse it returns to that slide?

Thanks

Here are a couple of things to try:

(1) If they click on a button, just set the button's action setting to
hyperlink to Last Slide Viewed.

(2) If they can click anywhere, it might be feasible to place a 99%
transparent shape over the whole slide, and do #1 for that shape.

(3) Alternatively, you could make a custom show and only have the one
slide in it. Have the link go to the custom show, not the slide, and be
sure to check the box for Show and Return. That way, whatever takes you
off the slide (other than clicking on a button to hyperlink somewhere)
will go back to the original slide.

The best thing to do is to create an object. For instance, create a button
(square, circle etc) and after you are done modifying it(for instance,
putting a label that says 'back to first slide' ) click in the " Links" Group
under the "Insert" Tab and click on the "Action" Button. The "Action
Settings" windows should show up and you should select the slide you want to
go to in the " Hyper links to:" drop down box.


After you are done presenting all your other objects in your slide(I am not
fully aware if you are using images, blocks of text or just one single object
with no animation) make your button appear at the end and click on it to take
you back to the slide you selected earlier in the Action Settings window.

Hope this helps,

Make each answer slide a single slide custom show

When you create the hyperlink Custom Show tick the show and Return box.
