1 hour countdown timer
I am creating a "technology-enhanced" escape room/scavenger hunt. Users will have one hour to complete the scenarios - solving riddles, clues, codes and collecting 10 historical objects that must be placed in the correct order to complete their mission. I've got everything working. Now I need to have a timer that starts when they solve the first clue. The timer needs to work across the entire project - not just for a single graded interaction. Right now we're thinking 1 hour, but we may need to make it 90 minutes.
I'd like for them to be able to click a top menu button to access the timer at any time. Thought I could have the timer on a separate slide with layers and variables, but that's as far as I can figure this one out. I'm coming back to Storyline after a brief hiatus and am having to figure things out again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi Gayla,
Welcome back!
I'm sure our talented community members will have some design ideas that they can share with you, but here's a video that I found which explains how to create a simple countdown timer in Storyline 360 to help you get started.
Hi, Gayla!
Good news! I have a couple of articles that link to videos that show the step-by-step process of building a timer that works throughout your Storyline project! The links are below!
I hope this can help you out!
