Puzzle reveal
Feb 23, 2019

I've developed a quiz that has puzzle pieces overlaid on a graphic. As learners click a puzzle piece they are taken to a question. Once the question is answered I want the puzzle piece to disappear and reveal a part of the graphic underneath.
Each puzzle piece has a visited state that reveals that piece of the graphic. But I only want the graphic to show AFTER they complete the question. Right now the graphic is showing as soon as they click the puzzle piece. I'm fairly certain I need to add a condition but I'm not finding one that fits.
Can anyone help? I attached the file.
Thanks.

The Visited state will always be displayed as soon as an object is clicked. You could use variables that indicate completion of each question. Based on the variables you could then hide the puzzle pieces. See attached a revised file where I set up question 1.
Michael,
That is so cool! I would have never figured that out by myself. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Michael,
Hope you had a good weekend. The client loved the puzzle idea; thanks for
your help. They do, though, want the learner to be able to go back to
retake the question if they want. Except when they go back to the puzzle,
the puzzle piece is gone.
I'm think a 7 hot spots over the graphic, roughly where the puzzle pieces
were originally that they can click to take them back to the question.
Do you have any better ideas?
Thanks.

Instead of hiding the puzzle pieces, you could try creating transparent Visited states for each piece. This way, the puzzle piece appears to be 'gone' by is still clickable.
I'll try that. Thanks. Lynn
Hi Michael. The puzzle is doing exactly what I want (thanks for your help) except for the yellow piece. It is not hiding once the question is answered. It used to, but now it's not working. I've done everything I can think of to fix it, including deleting the variable, all triggers and the puzzle piece and starting from scratch but it's still not working. I thought a fresh set of eyes might find something I'm missing. I've attached the file. Thanks. Lynn
On the Compare layer of slide 1.7 you need to add a trigger to set the question 5 variable to True.
I knew it had to be something simple that my brain just wasn't seeing.
Thanks for the quick response. This bad boy is done!! Lynn
