Storyline 360: Movie Trivia Game

In this fun movie trivia game, I've introduced the element of chance by using the random number variable in Articulate Storyline 360. First, I used the random number variable to randomly select one of three quiz question banks—each containing 15 questions and drawing five random questions. Then, I used it again to create the illusion of other players, each with dynamic scores displayed on the quiz results slide.

To learn more about how I built this project, check out this how-to article I wrote on working with the random number variable.

This project uses several free videos from Content Library, three movie-themed illustrations from freepik.com, and the free fonts Lobster and Bebas Neue.

Enjoy!

    For those who have not upgraded to Storyline 360 and are still using Storyline 3, I used this JaveScript to generate a random number from 1 to 6 to select a number on a dice.

    var randomnumber = Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1)
    var player = GetPlayer();
    player.SetVar("randnum",randomnumber);

    I then had 6 states on an image of a dice to represent each number from 1 to 6 and displayed the dice with that numbered state.

    This was for a game of snakes and ladders, using thermometers and syringes in my hospital setting.

      Hi Neal. This download will open in Storyline 3, but it won't work as designed. That's because I've used the random number variable which is exclusive to SL360. Here's a link to bookmark so you can keep track of feature parity between Storyline 360 and Storyline 3: https://articulate.com/360/storyline#compare
