Escape Room trouble

Sep 22, 2021

Hello, I am working on an escape room game in storyline in which I have a heads up display that is on pretty much every slide. When the learner accomplishes something in a room, one shield is unlocked. However, only on one slide the first shield unlocks but in other rooms it does not unlock even though I have set the trigger to set the value of shield to true when the timeline on this slide starts. 

It only works on slide 10 but not the rest. Also, if the learner enters slide 14, shield 1 and 2 are supposed to unlock but only shield 2 unlocks. 

The funny thing is that these triggers work when I preview the slides individually. They do not work when I preview the entire project.

I am attaching the file for someone to try and suggest. 

Thanks

Good concept but needs a bit more work executing.

Navigating was unclear at most times. What I had to do was not clearly communicated.

There must be some way that the escapee gets to check progress - without having to revert to the menu. In fact the menu allows one to freely navigate and this negates purpose of challenge.

Have you put some more work into this since this posting? I am prepared to help but need to see where you are at present concerning the "game" development.
