Variable Issues Jeopardy Game
The "Selected__ variables" are never set to True. Here's why:
Triggers run in order. A trigger can't run if the program has already left the slide.
The fix: On each selection layer, move the "Set Selected__ to value True" triggers before the "Jump to slide next slide" triggers.
BTW, when you're working with variables, I suggest you insert temporary text boxes that display the variable references. That lets you see whether the variables are changing as expected.
For future reference, this Exchange Best Practices section is for general questions about eLearning. You’re asking how to do something in the software. That type of question is a better fit in the Discuss Articulate Products section of the website. That's where those of us who regularly answer questions about how to use the software spend more of our time. And that's where more folks go to search for answers specifically related to Storyline, Rise, and other parts of Articulate 360.

Thank you, Judy! It's now working as I intended. Thank you for the tip as well on where to post this kind of stuff.
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
P.S. In case you're interested, I've posted quite a few webinars, primers, and tips. (I mention the importance about trigger order in both webinars.)
