Two person scenario in Rise
I tried to create a scenario where two people could face each other and have a conversation. This is in Rise 360. Is that possible and if so, can I see how it was developed?
Example. Sales asks a customer a question, customer answers. Branching based on the answer.
I do know I can do it in Storyline and bring it in to Rise, but client may not want that.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello Norma! Thanks for reaching out.
I understand you wanted the ability to have two characters in a Scenario block. Currently, Rise does not support this feature. However, we are tracking a request for the ability to add more than one character to a scene in the Scenario block.
I'll add you to the list so that you'll get notified if we make changes that will help.
+1 to upvote this feature please. Meanwhile, I'll create one in Storyline 360 and add a SL block to my Rise course. Lots of maintenance, but it'll get the job done for now.
11 months. Do we have two person scenarios now?
One simple way to handle a conversation is to use Image+Text blocks.
- You have to prep the images in advance. (I prepped the images in the example above in PowerPoint by inserting the Articulate characters over background images, and then exporting the slides to PNGs.)
- Edit the settings to adjust which side the image appears on and to turn off the ability to zoom the image.
- Consider adding some sort of divider for better separation of the characters when viewed on a mobile device:
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for checking in. We don't have any updates at this time. I've gone ahead and included your voice in this report. We'll be sure to update this thread if we have any news in the future!
Have a great start to your day!
Angelo,
Thanks for responding to my inquiry. I thought that was the case. Yes, I would like to see this feature added.
Judy, thanks for this suggestion. I was trying to think of a way to use images and text.
Did you use several image and text blocks?
Yes. Each piece of dialog is a separate Image+Text block.
I believe I may be trying to do something similar to you; did a response help you? Did you set up using text or dialog?
Thank you!
Norma, your question wasn't the first that I've seen about multi-character scenarios. It inspired me to post an answer with a demo. You can find that here: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/tip-multi-character-scenario-block
Just to give this a bump:
I had to tell an instructional designer today that a two-person scenario in Rise wasn't possible at this time, so yes, that's something I'd like to see as well. :)
Yes--another request for this please.
