Storyline: Keyboard Shortcut Bingo
When you’ve got a rather dry quiz or knowledge check, sometimes incorporating it into a game is just what’s needed to make the experience more enjoyable. While games and gamification aren’t a magic fix for bad content, they can add a spark of fun for an assessment that’s useful but a bit repetitive.
In this bingo-like download, learners test their knowledge of Storyline 360 keyboard shortcuts. Get a quiz question right and the corresponding shortcut on the bingo card gets a correct stamp. Get it wrong and the shortcut gets a red lock stamp instead. All they need is five correct stamps in a row to bingo. But as you might have guessed, those incorrect lock stamps can make completing a line tricky.
With the help of hotspots, states, and variables, it’s easy to create a game like this in Storyline 360. Make each bingo square interactive using hotspots. States make it simple to mark a square as correct or incorrect. And variables keep track of when a player gets five in a row. Put it all together and you’ve got a quiz that makes learners excited to test their knowledge!

IF the user clicks any other hotspot on the screen (correct or incorrect), they will receive the appropriate feedback layer (correct or incorrect) for that hotspot and THEN the "Winner" layer will trigger for the ABCDE row. This is reproducible for different winning rows or columns. My best assumption is that the Winner layer's trigger is time based (when timeline reaches .25s on layer randomNumber) and that it is either never reaching .25s or is skipping ... Expand
