I am new to Captivate and Forums, so please excuse me for being so green.

I am trying to recreate the Classic Concentration game. Does any one have any ideas how I would do this in Captivate?

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    What do you mean by 'Classic Concentration Game'? Could you explain a little bit more detailed (I'm not a gamer)? I'm almost certain that you'll need advanced actions, and I have been blogging a lot about them. Here is one link that tried to explain a use case I worked out for another user on this forum:

    Concentration was a TV game show based on a children’s memory game. On the

    game show, the matching cards would represent prizes that contestants

    could win. As matching pairs of cards are gradually removed off the board,

    it would slowly reveal elements of a rebus puzzle that contestants would

    eventually have to solve.

    What I'm trying to do is place the rebus puzzle on the slide and what I

    think I need to do is place objects over the entire slide to hide the

    rebus puzzle. I also need to have additional objects to hide the initial

    objects. When matching an object the part of the rebus puzzle should

    appear where the objects that were matched.

    OK, I see.

    Using advanced actions and variables, could be done, but will be a lot of work. Have some more questions.

    How familiar are you with advanced actions in Captivate?

    I suppose clicking is the way to go to select two cards? And they will have to flipped so that their content is visible? If the two cards match they have to be hidden, if they do not match they have to flip again. You do not need drag&drop functionality?
