Escape Room
We've built escape room interactions for clients a few times, but haven't been able to share them publicly. That's why I've taken the time to create this demo.
I created a fictional drug, SynebroVax, and built a scenario where the learner plays a pharmaceutical sales rep preparing for a high-stakes meeting with stakeholders. The goal is to explore the environment, uncover insights, and respond to realistic stakeholder concerns, all within a timed, gamified experience.
It’s designed to show how immersive storytelling, decision-making, and interactivity can turn complex product knowledge into something memorable and engaging.

Hello,
Is it possible to get the file to download this template? I love this!
I'm glad you like the demo. Everything you see in the demo is bespoke so if I shared the source file you'd end up with more or less the exact same demo as mine, so I don't think that sharing the file would be the best idea.
I'm happy to try and explain how certain things work if that would help you create your own version that's tailored to your specific needs.
Hi DavidTait! If you don't mind me asking, how did you achieve the animation effect from room to room? It's so smooth! This is awesome; thanks for sharing it with us.
It was quite simple to achieve in the end.
In my screen grab you can see the main stage outlined by the red box. That's what you see on the screen.
The images of the rooms that are off to the sides of the stage become visible when you click one of the arrows. That triggers a motion path to create the animation.
When the animation has completed, there is a trigger that jumps to another layer, with the exact same setup for the part of the office that you're viewing (main image on stage, other images off stage).
I hope that helps, but please let me know if you'd like more info about anything.
Really appreciate the simplicity/elegance of this approach.
this is great - do you have a raw file to use so we can adapt to our own escape room - as i have seen some in the past - on this forum. I am in looking to create one relating to a system we use and to ensure users are following the process correctly.

This is an exceptional project! You are truly innovative!
Thanks!
I love the graphics and interaction. Brilliant. I did get lost in navigation though (obvs not my subject area)!.
I had similar feedback from another tester before releasing the demo so I did change it so that you don't need to answer the questions correctly to proceed.
I'm glad you like the graphics and the interactivity.
Well Designed.
Thank you!
That is brilliant, well done. loved the interaction and its just where i think training should be heading in
Thanks! This sort of interaction certainly has its place. The great thing is that with the exception of a little bit of JavaScript for the timer, everything else is built using native Storyline functionality. A lot of examples I see often require modification to the files after courses have been published, but that's not the way I like to work. Those sorts of edits aren't generally something that the majority of people can do, so I like to share examples that are within most people's capabilities.
I think this is such a cool ethos. Thank you again for sharing!
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing, David
Thanks! I learn a lot from what other people share so I enjoy sharing my own work too when I get a chance.
Great work, David - love it!
Thank you!
This was very engaging and fun to play. I love this creation.
Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the demo, I appreciate it!
