Storyline: Jeopardy-Inspired Game Show Template

Nadelle, I so wish I could tell you! I worked on other projects during this time, so I can’t say for sure how much time it took. I will say, due to my indecisiveness, I spent more time deciding on the color theme than actually building out the interaction. 😬

Graeme, your comment made me 😂. Since I can’t find the right image, just imagine a caveman pointing at a rock with the message…You rock! 😁

Hi Faffie! Great question! While on the slide, go to Form View. On the left, there is a list of Acceptable Answers. Any text you type in those fields will be counted as correct. Just make sure you take into account all the possible spelling learners might type. If they type anything different from what’s in those fields, it will be marked as Incorrect. I hope that helps!

Glad you like it, Marsha! In Form View, the answers should be set to shuffle. Here's more info on answer shuffling. https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-shuffle-answer-choices

I'm sorry that's happening Princia. Can you share a bit more about what happens when you try to open it? Do you see an error message?

Thanks for letting me know, Princia. Do you have an Articulate 360 subscription?

Thanks, Paul! I used a few oval (circle) shapes for each light, added a Shape Effect - Glow, and stacked them on top of each other. One has a subtle glow and the other has a thicker glow. I also edited the timeline so they only show for 1/2 a second each, then added the jump to time trigger to start the effect over to give it that blinking effect. Every other light has the same effect so they switch off.

Thanks for the kind words, Krystal! I designed this game using a jeopardy-inspired color theme with gradients so it might be a bit different to customize than my usual templates. The fastest method I can think of is to: -Create your own branded color theme. -Customize one shape/category box on the main slide to be the exact design you want (this includes customizing the states – hover and disabled). -Select that shape, click the Home tab, then double-click Format Painter. Double-clicking is super important so you don’t have to click it every time you want to copy formatting over -Click each shape/category box on that main slide once, and it will copy over all the formatting. You can also use this same technique on all the question slides. And the great thing is, by double-clicking Format Painter, you can easily navigate to the different question slides and continue to copy over formatting without having to click Format Painter again. Just make sure you copy incorrect buttons over to incorrect buttons and correct buttons to correct buttons since those have different states. You may also want to edit the background colors or other elements as needed. I hope that helps!

Hi Hannah! Great question! I didn't realize I made this without making the last slide a Results slide so you can have it report to an LMS. I just edited the story file. The last slide is now a Results slide. You'll need to download the file again (you should see a v2 at the end of the file name). Then, you can edit the Results slide for your needs. Hope that helps! 🙂

Thanks, Barbara! You'll need to edit the Player background color as well. Here's an article with more info. Let me know if you have any other questions. https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-Modern-Player-Custom-Color

Hi Pamela - the sound effect comes from the question slide that follows once you have chosen a button in one of the categories. The audio file for that is on the slide master for the blank layout. Hope that makes sense. However, they all seem to play the sound when I review it.

Thanks, John! And nice catch on that trigger! The way it's set now, it doesn't do anything. Sorry for the confusion! I realized that trigger was meant to be set to "when the state of at least one of" so that the correct answer was also revealed if the learner got the question wrong. Here's a screenshot of what that trigger should look like and the reveal when I select the incorrect answer. https://bit.ly/3srnN0c I updated the story file above to reflect that change. If you don't want the correct answer to be revealed along with the incorrect selection, you can delete that trigger. I hope that clears it all up. 🙂

Hi Michelle! Sorry for the late reply! Did you type in the answer previously and replay the course? If so, it sounds like it might be the autofill which is based on browser settings and cannot be adjusted within Storyline 360. This discussion has some tips that might help: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/auto-complete-text-entry-89a0ef64-1706-4d0c-8b16-46dd3ba9382e#reply-663644

Thanks so much, Roland!

I appreciate it, James! Finding and selecting the sound effects for this template was really fun. 🙂

That's awesome, Chassidy! I'm so glad you like it! 🙂

Thanks, Anne! You could add additional questions, but there would be quite a bit of redesign work, such as the question board slide to account for all the new questions, editing the variable triggers for each new slide you create, the number at the top of each new slide, and a few other items I might be forgetting. So I can't say for sure how much extra time that would take or whether or not it's worth it to add extra questions.

Thanks so much, Marci! Also, great idea on the reset results option! I went ahead and updated the template with that new trigger in case you want to download it again. If you've already added it to your copy, just make sure the reset results trigger is above the restart course trigger since triggers follow a certain order. As for the LMS side of things, I definitely recommend testing it out since each LMS is different. I hope that helps!

Update: I removed the 'freeform' from every slide, and this fixed the issue. I added a slide toward the end that puts the score variable into a numerical entry which is then reported to LMS. I would still love to know how to make free-form questions keyboard accessible, as this is essential for my audience.

That makes sense! Thanks for finding that out, Adam! I put it on my list to update this template so it's fully accessible. I will update you here once I upload the new version.
