Can I customize The Training Arcade based on my brand guidelines?

Yes, we can accommodate basic changes, such as color, font. For more complex changes, such as icon/character updates, alternative button shapes, additional sound fx, additional music tracks, and custom branding please contact sales to confirm rates.

Assessments & Leaderboards

Can point values for different types of questions be adjusted?

In JEOPARDY!® and Scenarios yes. Point values don’t exist in the other games.

What type of user data (analytics) can I track?

Training is useless without analytics. Simply checking a box or using a five-question assessment at the end of a course isn’t effective. Trainers who want to improve knowledge and optimize behavior must engage their audience throughout the training with games and activities to (1) provide a practice playground and (2) deliver a comprehensive analysis.
The Training Arcade® analytics dashboard is engineered to unveil patterns of individual and group engagement with your material, thereby improving your training ROI by revealing knowledge gaps, personality behaviors, and group comparisons.
View and sort topline data including the number of users, scores, rank, sessions, session duration, % of questions correct/incorrect, and total questions answered.
Analyze individual outcomes by looking at all sessions played, how each player answered each question by session, how many attempts it took them before answering a question correctly, and identify insights into knowledge acquisition and retention.
Review macro trends for each question including time required to answer, the number of times players have attempted to answer, and the % of time players have answered correctly/incorrectly.
Dig deeper into each answer to identify any misperceptions.
Sort data by date for comparison purposes and export as a CSV file to share with stakeholders.

Can the leaderboards be reset?

Technically, yes; but it requires a manual process and can be done for an additional fee. The best option is to use the date range feature so you can see the leaderboard just from the day or week you’re trying to see.

Can I add corrective feedback to each of my questions?

When learners receive corrective feedback right away they are more likely to remember that feedback later on. So, The Training Arcade makes it easy to give (or get) immediate feedback. For best results, we encourage you to provide feedback for both correct and incorrect answers, adding useful context to each of your points.

Can I download the data from each game to a spreadsheet?

Yes, you can download the assessment data using date ranges from your analytics dashboard to a .csv file and easily import that into Excel.

Which games can be played competitively in a live environment?

Both JEOPARDY!® and Trivia have a live VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) version that allows players to compete with one another in real-time.

Can the analytics reflect leaderboards for separate groups in the same company?

Yes, but an additional cost will be involved.

Can I show a leaderboard during Instructor-Led Training?

Yes.

What question types can I create?

The Training Arcade includes 6 Questions Types (not all games have every question types):

Multiple choice: the user selects a single correct answer from a selection.
Multi-select: the user must select all of the correct answers from incorrect answers.
Image select: multiple select, but with pictures
Text Input: the user must type in the correct answer (it’s not case sensitive and you can add multiple spelling variations).
Polling: you can create a Poll to understand which options are the most popular.‍
Info Card: you can add text, videos, and pictures. This is a versatile “question type” which can serve many purposes.

Integrations

How do I add The Training Arcade games to my LMS?

The Training Arcade games can all be published as SCORM 2004: 3rd Edition and SCORM 1.2 packages for easy integration into the majority of LMS.

If the game is played within a course, will the course recognize the user based on their LMS login?

The short answer is no. Instead, when a game is embedded as a web object in a course, you would want to enable registration in The Training Arcade game builder so your users can quickly register at the start of the game. We are working on a single sign-on that would handle registration automatically.

Do The Training Arcade games integrate with the rapid authoring tools?

You can integrate The Training Arcade into PowerPoint, Storyline, Captivate, Lectora, and other eLearning authoring tools as a web object.

Subscription Information

How many instances can I make using the games in my subscription?

Each game type license allows you to create unlimited game instances of that game type, all with different content.

Can I sell the individual games I create or include them in courses that I then sell?

No, you can only publish games as a part of an internal training program or for a client using it for a specific training program.

Is it possible to purchase a license to have in perpetuity? If so, what is the cost?

Since The Training Arcade games are web-based games hosted by The Game Agency (TGA), we can’t do perpetual licensing. However, we can work with you to create a custom deal where you can host the game yourself.

Is it only one creator per subscription? Why only one?

Yes, it’s one. That way, all the games created by that person and the assessments are kept confidential to that one person, who we call the Administrator. We do offer great discounts for companies that purchase multiple subscriptions. Contact us for a quote.

Do I get to keep the games forever like I do the templates I download?

During your subscription term you will have access to:

The game authoring tool
All games that you create
The analytics dashboard with the individual and group assessments
Leaderboards

If you do not keep your subscription live, then you’ll lose the ability to edit the games and view analytics and leaderboard information. The games will remain live, however.

Who do I pay for the subscription?

Your subscription is paid through ELB Learning.

Is there a trial subscription to the service?

Absolutely. You can sign up for a free trial or request a demo anytime.

Do I get access to all the games in The Training Arcade with my subscription?

Each subscription has a yearly license fee for one game type (ex. Jump, Match, Scramble, etc) per creator. Each game type license allows you to create unlimited games of that game type, all with different content. So if you buy a yearly license of the Jump game for your lead developer, he or she can create as many Jump games with different questions as he or she wants. And your whole company can play all those Jump games as often as they want!
