This month, we’re spotlighting creative ways community members are experimenting with Rise 360’s new Code Block (Beta) feature. From quick prototypes to full mini-games and simulations, these projects show how custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can bring fresh interactivity to Rise, whether you’re vibe coding with AI or hand-crafting from scratch
💡 Try It Yourself: Rise 360: How to Use Code Block, Creating Blocks with Vibe Coding
While the Code Block is supported, Articulate’s support team can’t troubleshoot or debug custom code you add. If you’re new to coding, save and back up your course versions before experimenting, just in case something breaks. For community-based help or feedback, join the Code Block Group, where peers can share advice and solutions.
👽 Alien Lifespan Challenge by GrahamBetts-add
Graham created a fast-paced trivia game that challenges learners to keep Brian the Alien alive by answering 10 questions correctly. The project combines timers, progress tracking, and custom feedback, powered by code.

Build It with AI:
Kick off your own build with prompts like these, or start from scratch with your own code or customizations:
- “Write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a 10-question timed quiz game that tracks correct answers and shows a 3-star progress meter inside a Rise 360 Code Block.”
- “Structure the code so all quiz content lives in a QUESTIONS array and settings in a CONFIG object, making it easy to update questions, feedback, and timer length.”
- “Create an interactive quiz where each correct answer extends the player’s time and updates a character’s emotion from happy to sad based on performance.”
🧭 Explore Cardinal Directions by ilgunapo
Apo built a playful, interactive experience to help learners explore the four cardinal directions. After discovering each direction on a compass, players test what they’ve learned in a mini treasure-hunt game.
