Follow the steps below to create an escape room in Google Forms.
Go to Google Forms, and start a new form.
Click on settings and turn on "Make this a quiz." This sets your form to quiz mode, allowing for automatic scoring and feedback.
Title your quiz "The Mystery of the Stolen Gem" and add a brief description of the scenario. Mention that participants will act as detectives solving the mystery.
Click on the palette icon to choose a theme color and font that matches the detective mystery theme.
Creating an engaging visual theme enhances the experience.
Create the first section as your introduction. Explain the background of the stolen Sapphire Gem and the objective of the quiz.
This section introduces the story to engage participants right from the start.
For each puzzle, add a new section.
In each section, add a multiple-choice question for the puzzle. Write down the question and the multiple-choice options, marking the correct answer for each.
For each multiple-choice question, click on the "Answer key" at the bottom of the question.
Select the correct answer and assign points. You can also add answer feedback for correct and incorrect answers.
This step enables automatic grading and provides immediate feedback to participants.
For each question, use the three-dot menu to select "Go to section based on answer."
Set the quiz to direct participants to the next puzzle if they answer correctly, or to a custom section that encourages them to try again if they answer incorrectly.
This creates a dynamic path through the quiz, enhancing the interactive experience.
After the last puzzle, go to the form settings. Under the "Presentation" tab, find "Confirmation message." Replace the default message with a personalized congratulation message.
Example message: "Congratulations, Detective! You've successfully solved the mystery of the stolen Sapphire Gem. Your sharp wit and keen eye have proven invaluable today. Thank you for helping us solve this case. Feel free to play again or share this challenge with friends to see if they can match your detective skills!"
Before sharing, go through the quiz by clicking the preview icon to ensure everything works as intended. Adjust as necessary.
