Thanksgiving Turkey Themed Game/Test
Nov 04, 2016
Worked rather hard on this one! Challenge was to create a test/knowledge check for our learners that was fun. Thought others may benefit from this as well - feel free to use!
Includes 25 questions:
1 - Drag and Drop/matching
1 - Hotspot
3 - Multiple Answer
3 - True/False
2 - Yes/No
15 - Multiple Choice
How it works:
Terry the Turkey starts out with no feathers. From the map of Thanksgiving Woods, the learner will click on a feather to receive a question. If the question is answered correctly, they will earn a feather. Goal is to get as many feathers as possible.
I setup a passing score of 22/25. This can be modified easily. If the learner passes, they get a happy turkey. If they fail, their turkey explodes!
Feedback thus far is that this was fun - even when they didn't pass.
Hope others can benefit from this template this Thanksgiving!
Gobble-Gobble!!!

Thanks Brandon for sharing this time - particularly timely as well. :)
An exploding turkey though - I kinda want to fail, just to see it! Also if you have a link to the published output that's always helpful if you can link that here as well so that folks can take a look at just playing with it vs. downloading the .story file.
Thanks Ashley! I have a tempshare link that I used for testing, but I don't have a permanent link. For those who would like to see a preview: http://s3.amazonaws.com/tempshare-stage.storyline.articulate.com/sto_1b0oc3qspl6vqee13ba1aqs1auo9/story.html
**And yes, I do recommend trying it to fail at least once... It is humorous!
Ha - well if they were "real" questions it would have been much easier to fail. But the answers are right there! The overachiever in me can't handle it. ;-)
Go ahead... Live dangerously :-) Let me know how you like the explosion... hehe...
Oooh, I really like the photograph images mixed with the illustrations. That poor, cold little turkey! :P
Ha! Well I can't turn down a challenge.
Not sure if he said Aww bugger or booger - but either way I like it.
It is hilarious! @Ashley he says Aww Booger . . . I was rolling when I failed this and I should have actually known most of them. @Brandon this is pure genius! So proud of you!
Makes much more sense that way - Turkey's aren't British anyway. ;-)
awsome
Looking at this source makes me realize how inferior I am to Articulate!
Putting on my big boy pants and going to do some training!
LOL, Kyle.
Glad you enjoyed this example!
Kyle,
Thanks for the compliments!!! Truth be told, it takes a bit sometimes to figure this stuff out for me too! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you will be able to use it this coming year!
I love this! I've been having a lot of fun setting up a quiz for information security. I'm not an expert for sure - and I'm having trouble with question 23. It seems to be locked in drop down only for entering choices. So you can only choose one of the drop down options (which don't apply).
I've been looking for an answer but no luck. If anyone know what I'm doing wrong, feel free to share!
Hi Leslie,
If you're using a drop down type such as the sequence or matching drop down you can modify what those say by looking at it in Form View vs. Slide view.
If you'd like to change the type of question, you'll need to insert a new question slide and make your updates there.
Leslie - I hope this works well for you!
I took a look at question 23. It was originally setup as a multiple answer question. So my guess is that if you are seeing drop downs, you are on the form view instead of the slide view.
If you want to change the type of question to something else, you can always create a new question, copy the triggers to set Q23 to True when the timeline starts and on the correct layer to add 1.0 to feathers.
If you are stuck, feel free to reach out to me directly :-)
Hi Brandon,
I really love this! I downloaded your file a while back and just recently had an opportunity to use it as the foundation for this dosage calculation game. You deserve a big shout out for sharing your work! While the content of my game isn't as engaging as yours, modifying your file for this project was a wonderful (and fun!) learning experience. Thank you!!!!
Elizabeth - I am SOOOO happy that you were able to take the template and remake it to work for you! I checked out your dosage game and loved it! It's amazing to see how the basics were applied to your game! For someone like me without any medical background, I found the game engaging! Thank you for sharing back that you used it!
Just discovered this template - excited to use it! Great design. Thank you for having it here for download.
Brandon, just came across your game and its amazing. Can i ask the music that is playing in the background are there restrictions on its use ?
Thanks Darren! I honestly cannot recall what the music is. I believe it was in Camtasia and I borrowed it (since I had licensing for Camtasia, it was fully licensed when created). When you download the Storyline file, it's pretty easy to change the soundclip to anything else if you have other audio you want to replace it with.
As far as imagery, I tried to mix the animated look with little trees from Clip art files. I wanted a "campy" look. Any of the images like the turkey, map, and backgrounds were 100% my creation and the other clipart images were all through royalty free sources.
Brandon, you're da bomb! This is hilarious and nicely done.
I've used it and have plans to re-purpose it like Elizabeth did. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you Cheryl! Can't believe I posted this 4 years ago and it still has traction!
Thank you so much Brandon, Great great idea with unlimited customization opportunities, Thanks again :D
