we built a nice-looking Escape Room game in Articulate Storyline and thought it would be cool to get your opinion about it?
Full disclosure: child labor was used to make it, meaning Karlis (founder of FasterCourse) kids participated in the testing of the game, it is pretty fun though :)
Wow! 😮 This is incredible, Karlis! 👏 The graphics and puzzles are so well designed. I usually get confused and lost in escape rooms (virtual and in-person 😂) but this one is easy to follow. Nicely done!
Very nice graphics. It must have taken quite a lot of repetitive scripting to get the 8 variations of "correct" in the magic square puzzle :
The torch puzzle, somehow I got it right randomly in a few moves. The map instructions left me wondering. I thought I had to input each step and expected to see progress of some sort. I finally tried figuring the final solutions for both paths and inputting them into the lock successfully.
Love this! I must be doing something wrong on the map, though. I've tried a few times and come up with the same combination each time, but nothing happens.
This is fantastic! well done. I could do with a hint on the map, as I'm stuck there. I've got the other puzzles (torches, numbers & arrows) but every time I do the map I get a different answer!
Congratulations, this is amazing! Would it be possible to be addressed to a tutorial or have some hints on how to create a similar experience Storyline?

Thanks Sarah, that is great to hear! We like them too :)
This is great! What other tools besides Articulate did you use?
Fabulous! Easy to follow but I too hard for me!

This ist awesome. Thank you.
This is such a cool game! I wonder how did you create the map and tiles for the three puzzles?
Nice to hear Alexander. Hope you enjoyed the game :)
Hi Paula, do you want a hint? :)
Hello Dustin, nothing really except design programmes to create the visual design of the game.
Hello Souveek, our graphic designer is pretty cool. It was two people working on this to be honest :). Designer and developer.
lol. I just went back in and realized I don't know my latitude from longitude.
cool, happens to the best of us :)
Thanks again for sharing this awesome example, Karlis! We added it to our Examples hub here.
Awesome job!
Thank you very much Sarah! Much appreciated :)
Hi Karlis,
This is fantastic! well done. I could do with a hint on the map, as I'm stuck there. I've got the other puzzles (torches, numbers & arrows) but every time I do the map I get a different answer!
Thanks,
Hi Dermot,
sure, first three numbers are 123, the last one you can try, I am sure you will figure it out.
Sign me up for everything free) Looks great tho I like it
You guys outlined the elements that could be selected, which is pretty intelligent! It helped navigate the entire escape room!
Thanks :)
We just launched a part of this game as a freebie, you can download it here:

This is amazing. I couldn't figure out how to remove the red triangle block, but the other puzzles I solved! How long did this take to make?
