GMP Escape Room Training
I turned GMP concepts into a scenario-based escape room, where learners investigate issues and make decisions as a QA Associate. I mapped each room to a practical skill, then built the challenges in Storyline 360 with hints, feedback, and progressive unlocking. Learner-path testing informed revisions to instructions, navigation, and retry behaviour.

Hey everyone! I finished creating WordTwist, a lighthearted quiz game to spice up e-learning sessions. It’s built using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with some help from AI—super easy to tweak and drop into existing projects. Players unscramble letters to discover key words while answering a quick question. They can shuffle letters if they get stuck, remove a mistake, or even reveal the answer (though that yields zero points). All you have to do is customize the question and answer array in the code, and voilà—instant quiz. Give WordTwist a try through this link and let me know what you think. Feel free to share any creative ways you end up using it, or suggest improvements to the game if you think of any!
Foodie Frenzy - Choose your Chef
Hi everyone! My name is Ekaterina. Some of you may remember me from my previous account (Ekaterina_V), where I shared several of my projects and participated in the challenges. Since then, I was laid off from my position as an e-learning developer, and unfortunately, I lost access to my corporate Articulate 360 account. However, I'm still very enthusiastic about e-learning and Articulate, so here I am again—this time from my personal account. For this week's challenge, I'd like to share one of my older projects (hopefully that's allowed—I couldn't find anything in the rules that says otherwise!). It's a Jeopardy-style game about food, that uses variables to let learners choose their NPC chef character at the beginning of the game. Based on their selection, they receive personalized feedback throughout the course, including different character portraits and voiceovers. Once the game is completed, learners can restart it and choose a different chef to experience an alternative version of the feedback. Here are a few screenshots from the Gameplay (for this instance, I chose Chef Mike): Foodie FrenzyFootball Manager
Hello there! 👋 I've been looking for different ways to start building out a portfolio and this weekly challenge caught my attention! I love football, despite supporting Everton... and wanted to trial some gamification in storyline! ⚽ Please have a look using the link and let me know your thoughts in the comments! 👇 Confession: I spent a bit more time on this than I planned! 😅 Enjoy! 😄 Link: Football Manager Module Website: 22Studio.ukRace Back To Base
Hello! Can you make it back to base before the sandstorm hits? Play now. The thing I really love about working with vectors is how scalable they are. Even the tiniest details remain crystal clear when you scale them up. I built this demo using elements from a single vector pack created by Macrovector on Freepik. To create the illusion of movement, I used PowerPoint to recolour the wheels on the Mars Rover vehicle, and isolated parts of the tyre track. I then made a GIF using these shapes. And then placed the GIF over the modified SVG image in Storyline. This allowed me to turn the motion on/off using state changes. Pretty much everything that moves in this demo is a GIF, tucked away in a state change until it's needed. Having access to high-quality, easy-to-use graphics allowed me to focus on the instructional elements and the scoring mechanic. The 'wronger' your answer, the quicker your oxygen will deplete. Even if you reach the third question, if your oxygen hits zero, you will have to start again. This is controlled by JavaScript, which adjusts the value of the variable by a set amount when triggered. var player = GetPlayer(); var penalty = 35; // Change to 45 or 55 depending on the button var battery = player.GetVar("Battery"); var elapsed = 0; var interval = 100; var steps = 10000 / interval; var amountPerStep = penalty / steps; var timer = setInterval(function() { elapsed++; battery = Math.max(0, battery - amountPerStep); if (battery === 0) { player.SetVar("Battery", 0); clearInterval(timer); } else if (elapsed >= steps) { player.SetVar("Battery", Math.round(battery)); clearInterval(timer); } else { player.SetVar("Battery", Math.round(battery)); } }, interval); The eagle-eyed among you will have also noticed that when this demo runs on a desktop, the closed captions that accompany the narration have been repositioned and have a slight 'glitch' effect as they appear. This is also achieved with JavaScript. Despite the recent improvements to the closed caption feature in Storyline, sometimes I prefer to manually override the position of the captions to better suit my layout. This code only reliably works in desktop view, though. const mobileView = window.innerWidth < 768 || window.innerHeight < 500; var storyW = 1280; var storyH = 720; var boxLeft = 850; var boxTop = 430; var boxWidth = 350; var boxHeight = 200; var captionFontSize = 20; function positionCaptions() { if (mobileView === true) { console.log("Mobile view detected - caption positioning skipped."); return; } var leftPct = (boxLeft / storyW * 100).toFixed(2) + "%"; var topPct = (boxTop / storyH * 100).toFixed(2) + "%"; var widthPct = (boxWidth / storyW * 100).toFixed(2) + "%"; const css = ` .caption-container { position: absolute !important; transform: none !important; } .caption { position: absolute !important; left: ${leftPct} !important; top: ${topPct} !important; width: ${widthPct} !important; font-size: ${captionFontSize}pt !important; transform: none !important; z-index: 1000 !important; } @keyframes glitchstutter { 0% { opacity: 0; transform: translate(-10px, 4px) skewX(-8deg); filter: blur(6px); } 8% { opacity: 0.8; transform: translate( 10px, -4px) skewX( 9deg); filter: blur(3px); } 12% { opacity: 0; transform: translate(-8px, 2px) skewX(-6deg); filter: blur(7px); } 18% { opacity: 0.9; transform: translate( 8px, 3px) skewX( 6deg); filter: blur(1px); } 22% { opacity: 0.1; transform: translate(-12px, -2px) skewX(-10deg); filter: blur(5px); } 28% { opacity: 1; transform: translate( 6px, 0px) skewX( 4deg); filter: blur(1px); } 35% { opacity: 0.3; transform: translate(-6px, 4px) skewX(-6deg); filter: blur(3px); } 42% { opacity: 1; transform: translate( 4px, -2px) skewX( 3deg); filter: blur(1px); } 50% { opacity: 0.6; transform: translate(-3px, 1px) skewX(-2deg); filter: blur(1px); } 60% { opacity: 1; transform: translate( 2px, 0px) skewX( 1deg); filter: blur(0px); } 75% { opacity: 0.95; transform: translate(-1px, 0px) skewX( 0deg); filter: blur(0px); } 100% { opacity: 1; transform: translate( 0px, 0px) skewX( 0deg); filter: blur(0px); } } .caption-glitch { animation: glitchstutter 0.6s ease-out forwards !important; } `; let style = document.getElementById('custom-caption-style'); if (!style) { style = document.createElement('style'); style.id = 'custom-caption-style'; document.head.appendChild(style); } style.textContent = css; var capEl = document.querySelector('.caption'); if (capEl) { var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) { mutations.forEach(function(mutation) { capEl.classList.remove('caption-glitch'); void capEl.offsetWidth; capEl.classList.add('caption-glitch'); }); }); observer.observe(capEl, { childList: true, subtree: true, characterData: true }); capEl.classList.add('caption-glitch'); } console.log(`Captions positioned at left:${leftPct} top:${topPct} font:${captionFontSize}pt`); } document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', positionCaptions); positionCaptions(); I had a lot of fun making this. It still surprises how much mileage you can get from a small number of visual assets. If you have any more questions about this demo, please ask.
OPERATION CIPHER - Can you crack the code before time runs out?
This week’s eLearning challenge was to create something using desktop folder tabs… so naturally I turned it into a covert infiltration mission. Check out what I created by clicking this link! OPERATION CIPHER Stolen intelligence is hidden inside a secure office. Learners must infiltrate the location, search the filing cabinet, locate the Operation Cipher folder, uncover hidden clues and crack the 3-number safe code before the alarm system activates. The entire experience was built in Articulate Storyline 360 using: • Interactive folder tab mechanics • A cinematic countdown timer • Layer-based scene progression • Graphic novel-inspired visual animations created using AI • First-person POV immersion • Safe code logic and trigger systems Rather than feeling like traditional eLearning, I wanted this to feel more like stepping into an interactive espionage experience. Can you crack the code before time runs out? Try it out! Check out what I created by clicking the link!English School - Code Block Demo
Premise English irregular verbs are like that one "eccentric" relative at the Christimas family dinner: they follow absolutely zero rules, change their entire identity without warning, and seem specifically designed to ruin your day, but after a few awkward encounters, you eventually learn their quirks and stop calling them by the wrong name. That´s why I created this demo using Code Block in Rise, to help students to learn english in a fun and gamified way. Prompt To create it, I used this prompt with Gemini: "Write HTML, CSS, y JavaScript for an excercise like call of duty to use in Rise 360 Code Block. Use blue and green and yellow as main colours. It´s a shooting game. You will have to shoot the irregular verbs that you find. If you hit a irregular verb, you win 5 points, if you hit a regular verb you lose 10 points. It´s an excercise in elearning for english students." I twisted along to way to add the background music, and later on in Rise I altered the code to change colours, fonts, timer, speed of the words appearing, etc. Course Demo You can check the course here: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/39bd6260-4647-4cd7-84c9-731a83677417/review5-Minute Makeovers for E-Learning #532
We updated our menu slides. Originally the buttons just ticked off to show that each section was completed (we used variables at the end of each section that ticked the buttons off on the menu slide). We updated the menu slides to have badges instead that changed from black to coloured badges (using variables at the end of each section that ticked the buttons off on the menu slide). This was to link in with the gamification aspect for staff to collect the badges throughout the course for each section.Wings or Flames - Halloween Jeopardy Game
Hi Articulate Heroes! I was super excited about this week’s challenge (I love Halloween!), but time got away from me between all the spooky—and not-so-spooky—activities. My original plan was to create a full Halloween Edition of my Jeopardy-style game: new graphics, UI, questions, and sound effects (based on the same build I used for my cooking-themed game). But since the deadline arrived and my idea turned out to be a bit ambitious, I’ve only managed to complete the first category: Creepy Creatures (and it still needs some testing too). Feel free to check it out! I’m hoping to finish the rest of the game and do some proper testing by the end of the week. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 Wings or Flames
