Interactive slide types for every moment, and more on the way

A slide type is the kind of slide you add to an AhaSlides deck, such as a quiz question, a poll, a game or a content slide. It decides what your audience does on their phone and what the big screen shows.

41 in total, as of November 2026: 30 interactive slide types and 11 content slides. That is 8 quiz types, 4 games, 8 poll types, 10 slide types for ideas and questions, and 11 content slides for headings, lists, images, diagrams, video, Google Slides and more. The exact list in your editor can change as new types roll out.

How does that compare with other tools? Mentimeter’s help centre lists 13 question and quiz slide types, and Slido’s product page lists five poll types next to its quizzes, Q&A and surveys (both checked on 28 October 2026).

Most months. We have added 20 slide types since March 2026, including 6 in October 2026 and 2 so far in November 2026: Pin on image, Ranking, Idea board, Diagram, Draw answer, 2x2 Matrix, Split the points, True or false, Duck race, Interactive image, Photo share, Fill in the blanks, Radar, Escape room, Halloween race, Annotate, Calm, Pumpkin head swap, Drag and drop and Personality test.

AhaSlides is an all-in-one engagement platform for teams and classrooms. Quizzes, polls, games and content slides sit in one deck, so you never switch between apps mid-session.

One tool for the whole session: every slide type works with the tools around it, so you build, run and review a session in one place.

• Build a deck with AI: start from a topic, or import a PDF, PowerPoint or Word file and let AI turn it into slides.
• Scores and a live leaderboard: quiz slides score speed and accuracy, then show who is in the lead.
• A report after every session: see how the room answered once the session ends, question by question.

No. Participants join in the web browser of any device, so there is no app to download, and they do not need an AhaSlides account. They scan the QR code on your screen, or type the join link (ahaslides.com/ followed by your access code). Some slides ask for a name, such as quizzes and Q&A, and you can turn on audience verification if you need to know who joined.

Quiz slides have a right answer. They score speed and accuracy, then show who is in the lead on a live leaderboard. Poll slides have no right answer: they show where the room stands, from a simple poll to a ranking, a radar chart or a 2x2 matrix. Game slides add chance and play: Spinner wheel, Duck race and Halloween race pick a winner, and Escape room turns quiz questions into a race against the clock.

• Icebreakers and openings: Word cloud, Spinner wheel, Duck race, Draw answer and Photo share get everyone joining in within a minute.
• Training and lessons: Pick answer, True or false, Fill in the blanks, Match pairs and Correct order check what people remember, and Interactive image lets them explore a picture at their own pace.
• Team meetings and retros: Radar for team health checks, Q&A for open questions, and Ranking, 2x2 Matrix or Split the points to agree what to do first.
