Storyline360 Escape Room with xAPI "Trackery"
Mar 07, 2018
Hey ELHs!
In this opportunity I'm sharing some cool work I did with pals Devlin Peck, Jenna Petroskey and Evangelos Neochoritis as part of the current SL360 Wizards xapi-cohort team.
DEMO: http://bit.ly/2toE7CE
The concept is an Escape Room game where players learn about xAPI and solve challenges to escape. We had some great fun with this and our xAPI "trackery" lets us track several behaviors and actions taken within the room.
One cool detail about this design is... wait for it... all graphic assets and effects come from Storyline360 (ok, except the fire gif ).
As of today, we added aesthetics to the result slide and a leaderboard for the top 5 players. We are working on our second room to keep the adventure going so, be on the lookout!

Thanks for sharing Alex I like loads of it. Great idea.
I had some odd things happening with correct incorrect feedback showing up. I hoped for an easter egg when I dropped one of the drop targets into the fire.
I think some of the images and buttons are incongruent and could do with being swapped, but great idea.
Hey Phil,
Great ideas, we covered all incosistencies with the "Beta" label LOL
Actually, this whole thing just took 10 hours from concept to "beta" so we sprinted a bit.
We will do some refinements and adjustments base on your feedback.
I love building escape rooms, you have inspired me! Now I just need to find some time.
Alex,
Great idea and I think it helps to have a group do this. I am doing a similar project so you have given me inspiration. Maybe we can compare notes one day! Thanks for sharing and the bear did get me. Better luck next time.
Funny stumbling across this here! Alex, thanks for giving me the push I needed to take over the JavaScript side of things and get those statements sending :)
Jeffrey, if you need any help sending custom xAPI statements from Storyline, let me know!
Devlin I appreciate the offer. Fortunately I am partnering with someone here who is an experienced xAPI and javascript programmer. Glad to keep in touch and trade ideas. Alex always has something amazing going on.
That’s excellent! Looking forward to seeing what you guys create :)
So good Alexander, thanks for sharing!
@Devlin we are looking for something exactly like this. Would you be able to share if this can be achieved with the SCORM package being hosted (stored) in Ancile uperform server. We would want to capture the data in uperform as well.
I look forward to checking out this newer version. I have been using xaply.builder to write my script for Storyline. It is simple to use and works well for this purpose.
@Roshan You for sure can! I haven't used the Ancile platform, but if it can host a SCORM package and connect to the internet, then you should be able to send xAPI statements from the Storyline SCORM package. Here's a good guide to start with: https://www.devlinpeck.com/tutorials/full-guide-xapi-storyline
Can you collect xAPI statements if your story is published in Web format?
Hello Masia! Great question! I'm no expert at xAPI statements, so I just wanted to chime in with a few resources on the topic:
I hope those resources help!
Yes, we can collect xAPI statement from web format.
