Create small adventure games using SurveyPie

December 27th, 2010

Although we prefer to call SurveyPie a “professional online survey creator”, it doesn’t mean you can’t use it for fun. In fact, with a little bit imagination, you can make small adventure games (AVG) using SurveyPie.

Step 1: Find or write a script attractive to players.

For example, I wrote a short script about rescuing kitty. You play a role who’s trying to find his/her little pet cat on Christmas Eve.

Story background: It’s Christmas Eve tonight, but my cat Kitty is missing! She’s so young and it’s snowing heavily outside, I must find her immediately!

Step 2: Slip your script into several scenes with different choices.

These choices will decide how the story goes when playing. For example, my first scene is:

I’m standing in the living room, where should I go to find Kitty?

A. Upstairs.

B. Outside.

C. Down to basement.

Step 3: Login to SurveyPie and start creating scenes based on your story.

On the survey edit panel, give your small AVG a title and a short description about the story background. Then add a new page to set up your first scene. Make sure you put each scene on a different page.

Step 4: Add logic to your questions, so each choice leads to a different result.

Open Logic edit panel, choose a question to start adding logic rules.

Step 5: Make your game look nice by changing themes.

Open Theme panel, choose from SurveyPie default themes or add your custom background images.

Step 6: All done! Send it out to your friends to invite them to play!

Quite easy isn’t it? You can now make your own little adventure game to play with your friends! Try it out now by login to SurveyPie! See how my game in action here: http://www.surveypie.com/survey157

December 2010 may be as usual as always to the rest of the world, but it becomes a remarkable month in SurveyPie team-members’ life. The team proudly announces the release of our latest tool version, SurveyPie v3.0 Beta!

The past year was tough for everyone in the team. We’ve been collecting suggestions from our users and worked really hard rebuilding and upgrading the whole system. We also added some new features that we think our users may find useful.

Some of our important new features:

  • Add Logic Rules to surveys
  • Rating scale and Ranking questions
  • Text validation
  • Multi-media contents
  • Custom logo or background images
  • Auto-close survey options
  • Password protection
  • Data export
  • Result filter
  • And much more…

Besides all above, there’s something maybe much more obvious to you: we redesigned our website!

We really would love to hear your ideas about our new system. So if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or even criticisms, tell us! You can write to support@surveypie.com or simply leave a message in the Forum. Don’t hesitate to speak, we are here listening!
