This template helps you take your multiple-choice questions to the next level by transforming them into a gamified scenario. All the work is done for you, simply pop in your text for the questions, choices, and feedback text boxes.
Fun gamification aspects include the ability to select a character, follow a narrative, and score points.
Hi Nicole/everyone,
Your scenario is very interesting !. I'm trying to reproduce it and learn, but I have problems to know how do you show the states in the first slide and to move to the next slide.
I have introduce the same triggers in Articulate that your (I think so), but I can't get the same result/outcome in my draft copy.
Are you so kind to help me understand where my mistake is?
Thanks! /Merci!

Hi Juan! I think the problem is that you are not using the pre-build "Hover" state to show the text box. Instead of having the text box appear on a state called "Flotar", use the "Hover" state. This should resolve the issue. Let me know if you have additional questions! :)
Thank you very much. I think the problem was in the spanish version. There are 18 states, and in the english version, there are 19 states.

Maybe is a bug.
I will ask you some additional questions ;-). Is a very interesting exercise.
Hi again,
I think, I have mistakes when I use variables like your scenario.
=>It's seems some variable don't allow the scenario to pass to the next slide...
See the slide2: don't show the score 0 and don't allow to pass to the next slide. (there is a tigger to allow it defined, but...)
=>Also another question: Is possible you have defined someplace the scorepass value to 9? I don't find it...

Any suggestion?
Are you so kind to help me to understand and to learn :-)
Hola Juan,
Wonder if you were ever able to get this game working? I have a few questions that I would greatly appreciate discussing with you, if possible.
thanks in advance.

Outstanding work; both fun and useful!
However, the demo (and so many others from Storyline MVPs) only fills a tiny fraction of a high-res monitor. Why don't more people set the course to auto-resize to the browser size? (It's in the Player settings. Click "Other," then choose both "Resize browser to fill screen" and "Scale player to fit browser window.")
I believe that, as nearly all monitors are now way more hi-res than the 1024 x 768 pixels the original Player sizes were based on, we need a new minimum player size standard.
Nicole this is a GREAT Xmas present for me. This will save me loads of time trying to create something similar over the Holidays for deployment 1st week of the new year. :)
I've been trying to figure out where you put your "coding" to determine which layer to display based on the choice the end-user clicks on. Any help would be wonderful. I'm trying to learn from this by re-creating it but I can't find that anywhere. I know it has to do with variables and the points scored for the question, but I can't find where you put it.
Hi Jeannette! Thanks for your question.
If I understand correctly you want to know: how does Storyline knows which of the 3 slide layers to show (OK Choice, Worst Choice, or Best Choice) when the learner has selected a choice and clicks "Submit".
So here's the answer: It's done automatically with the "Submit" interaction trigger because the slide is set up as a Freeform slide. On top of being a freeform "pick one" slide, I also adjusted the freeform options so the feedback is "By Choice" instead of "By Question". (You'll notice the option for that in the Storyline ribbon when you're in "Form View" for a freeform slide).
When you turn a slide into a freeform, it automatically creates an "Interaction" for it and as you can see when the user clicks the "Submit" button, in the trig... Expand

When you turn a slide into a freeform, it automatically creates an "Interaction" for it and as you can see when the user clicks the "Submit" button, in the triggers panel you can see that it "Submits the interaction". That's how it knows which layer to show for which answer; it's how you've assigned them in the Form View.
I really hope this clarifies for you. If you still don't get it please let me know and I'll try to explain or another way or maybe create a quick screencast to show you. Thanks!
Nicole, would you mind creating a screencast to show this? I followed the instructions in this thread and it makes sense. I did not change anything in the template other than the text in the options and layers. However, I noticed that when I click on the "Ok" option on one of the questions it does not show the feedback layer. It simply goes on to the next question. I went into form view and all 3 options are assigned and have point values. The feedback is still set by choice and the Score: by choice. I do not understand why it is not showing that layer.
Nicole, I am having the same issue with the selections not choosing the correct layer. I know I am really late to this discussion but I am not having any luck fixing this.
Nicole, do you mind sharing how to identify where the questions determine which layer to show? I would like the user to have 4 choices instead of three with one correct answer, and I would like to use the three levels of choices as a progressive total for the course.
Perhaps this is a way to do it: If you insert a new slide - Insert New Slide/Quizzing/Freeform/Pick One, you can include text boxes containing each answer. Each text box can have a trigger to show a particular layer (or do whatever you want). In the form view of your question slide, you can allocate points to each selection. Your "Results Slide" will keep score.
Best regards and good luck!

Hi Jeannette! Just replied to your previous question as well (apologies for delay!) and Douglas is on the right track! The question slides are "pick one Freeform" slides, and you can simply add a new rectangle shape (choice) on the slide, and then jump to form view for your Freeform and assign the rectangle as a choice. Set your Freeform pick one to have the feedback appear "By choice" instead of "By question" and type your feedback into the column available for it in Form View. That will create a new layer automatically for the choice, and then all the linking is done automatically behind the scenes when the trigger submits the freeform interaction.
Hope this helps! And thanks to Douglas for chiming is with his helpful tips as well.
Hi Nicole, What an amazing project! I have tried to create something similar to yours but when they select a player and click submit the player is still shown as hidden. I have created variables for each character and set a trigger to change the state based on their choice but they don't seem to appear. I'm thinking my problem is the type of slide i have (which is blank) which slide did you create the two characters on? Thanks for your help.
Hi Nicole - I have fixed this issue now and my project is coming along nicely.
Nicole, this is awesome! I'm in the process of building a game/scenario for new managers where they are faced with a challenge and they have to make the best choice. My tweak is that I'd like to have 3 scores displayed:
1. Time
2. Available Budget
3. Team Confidence
Is there a way in Storyline to assign multiple point values for a choice selection or would I need to build it manually with triggers?
Hi James! Thanks for the comment - glad you found this template and it's useful to you! To have 3 scores displayed you will indeed need to use Variables and Triggers and set them up manually.
I've copied this template (I created my own from scratch and incorporated similar features as yours) and can't seem to get the layers to come up as others have posted with the interaction. While I understand the feedback layers are automatically added once the Pick One freeform is chosen, for some reason, I do not get the extra added feedback layers. I tried just creating the layers, but of course that doesn't work, because they are not tied to any action. I'm confused. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.
This is the action I took to create the Pick One:
Create Freeform
Pick One
Feedback: by choice
Score: by choice
Choose the appropriate rectangles to get scored
Added points to each
No...my only issue was not having the feedback layers automatically populate. I ended up copying the slide from Nicole's template and pasting it into my project. I had to make quite a few changes design-wise since I was using a different story size, but all elements worked after that point, because the feedback layers in Nicole's template worked as they were supposed to work.
Nicole,
Love the project! Really useful. Was curious if I could email you a question about it separate from this forum? (if so, please email me - thanks! bpattyson@solublesystems.com)
thanks
