Update: With the help of Sunet and Carrie I was able to make the adjustments I wanted (mostly - not sure my variables will work in every clicking pattern). Thank you so much!!! Here is the updated version:

It's been awhile! I was inspired by everyone's travel themed games, so I came up with my own. I would like to think Jackie Van Nice especially, as she has a similar travel trivia game that heavily inspired me here: https://www.jackievannice.com/?page_id=175068527
So here's mine - Help Mindy collect souvenirs on her trip to Japan! It was fun to get back into things and refresh my memory while learning how to do something new :)
Here is my entry: https://go.aws/35Fuqin
I had a few issues with it and would love any help on these things:
For the life of me I could not get the "souvenirs" to fly into the screen along with the circle behind it. I was only able to do this for the "daruma doll" souvenir, but couldn't get it for the others.
I also wanted the character Mindy to say a new phrase once all the souvenirs are visible on the map, but I could not figure this out. If it helps, all the questions are layers, so the whole project only has 3 slides, with several layers and state changes.
I can upload the SL file, but I don't remember how to do that either... so if someone has help with that too, that would be awesome!

Wow, love the visuals for this! They fit the theme and make the course super engaging. Really nice job.
I agree with Sunet's suggestions. You could also use individual true/false variables on each layer (change Variable to True when timeline starts on this layer). I've occasionally struggled with using number variables in this type of scenario because, depending on how you set it up, if a user is able to click a question twice the variable might get thrown off, that's what I found in my submission this week, but it could be how I had it set up.
Really nice work, I look forward to seeing more :)

- Thank you so much Carrie!! I have to admit the variables didn't make a lot of sense to me. I think I managed to set it so if you complete the top most souvenir last the variables work, but if you click the objects in a different order it doesn't. I'm still fairly pleased with this project, so thank you for the encouragement :)
- Lovely travel through Japan, well done
