Storyline Magic Session – Begin Building A Board Game Experience In Storyline 360!

As part of the Online eLID Conference 2025, Discover eLearning’s Chris Hodgson hosted a dynamic live workshop titled “Begin Building a Board Game Experience in Storyline 360!”

This engaging, hands-on session walked participants through the process of designing and developing a fully interactive digital board game using Articulate Storyline 360.

Attendees learned how to create a gameboard environment enriched with animated dice rolls, player token movements, and game mechanics built using variables, states, triggers, and motion paths. Whether building alongside or simply observing, learners left the session with fresh ideas and new techniques for gamifying their digital learning content.

🔧 Key highlights included:

• Designing a responsive, visually engaging digital gameboard
• Creating randomised dice roll animations using Storyline’s timeline and triggers
• Moving player tokens across the board with motion paths and state changes
• Managing turn-based gameplay logic through variables and conditions
• Q&A with Chris on custom game mechanics and troubleshooting tips

A downloadable project starter file was made available at the beginning of the session, allowing participants to dive straight into the build process.

🎓 This session was perfect for:
Instructional designers, Storyline developers, and L&D professionals eager to explore how gamification can be implemented in eLearning using native Storyline features.
