Another way to do a spinning wheel and dice activity
There's a super quick and easy way to create a spinning wheel activity without variables or complex triggers - by using the question bank. The bank by default randomly picks results, visits each only once, and continues to the next slide when its done. If you start each question bank slide with a spinning wheel, or dice roll animation - that ends on the same number as the slide number you're on, then it works rather well.

What a great idea Peter.
Thanks for sharing the source file too.
Hi Peter,
Talk about a creative solution to a common challenge! Not requiring variables or complex triggers makes this so easy for people new to Storyline 360, but is also a nice timesaver even for experts. Thanks for sharing.Feel free to share - though I did recycle (steal) Paul Alder's dice graphic - shout-out to Paul! Love your work!
I hope he's ok with that.What a smart idea, Peter. Thanks for sharing and that give me more inspirations!
Hi Peter,
I just wanted to let you know we liked this so much we added both examples to the E-Learning Heroes downloads page. Here are links to both posts:
Thanks again for sharing this approach with the community!
Having previously built a pretty complicated spinning wheel quiz myself, I think your simplified solution is excellent.
Thanks, David. My earlier versions were very complicated - until I approached the problem with the mindset of a magician, rather than an engineer - ie. it's the result that counts. The journey is all smoke and mirrors.
Absolutely!
