2.1 Deactivating - Activating licenses
Activating or Deactivating Your Software
Terminology:
Game Builder: This is the portion of BRAVO! that builds the game. You add your
questions here, import images, set up your game settings, etc.
Game Player: Once a game is made in the builder, it is now a stand alone game and
no longer needs the builder to be played. It can be played on a local computer or over
the internet (if using web version). If you need to make changes to any settings,
questions, or avatars, you will need to open up the Game Player in the Game
Builder to make them.
Licenses: When you purchase BRAVO! you will be given a license code for both
builder and player. It may look like one license, but it is really 2. When a license
is issued, the license is applied to the builder and to a player. The builder license is
activated when you first open up the Game Builder for the first time or in demo mode.
The player license is activated when you first launch a game made with the builder. The
first time you preview a game, you will note a pause as the player license activates.
This will only occur the first time you launch a game.
General Instructions: When you first open up BRAVO! after it is first installed, you
will be prompted to enter your license code. At this point, you can simply copy and
paste the license code you were issued in the License field. You will note additional
fields like, email address, first and last name, that should be filled out as well.
Using Demo Mode: Demo mode will allow you to make and play games to try out the
software. When you create a game In demo mode, half of the questions will be pre-
populated with questions and answers that can not be changed as long as you are in
demo mode. Once the software is licensed, the pre-populated questionswill be
removed. Demo mode allows you to use all of the features within the game builder and
publish a demo game.
To Change Game from Demo Mode to fully active:Go to the Tools Menu, click on
Enter License and a field will pop up where you can enter your information.

License Installation Issues: If you receive any error messages (i.e "you
have exceeded your licenses," or "invalid license code", please contact us to verify
information or for technical support. Contact Customer Support or Sales.
Deactivating Builder License: If you have only one license of the software, and you
want to move the license to another computer, you will need to deactivate the current
license on one computer before it can be installed on another. To deactivate a license in
the builder, go to Tools, and click on Deactivate License . For your license to be
successfully deactivated, you will need to have a internet connection. If you need
additional licenses, please contact Customer Support . You will also need to deactivate
your player license as well. To do this, simply open up a game you have made, click on
the gear symbol in the upper right-hand corner of your game, and then click on
"Deactivate License."

Deactivating Player License: If you want to play a game on a different computer, or
move a player license to another computer, you will need to deactivate your license.
Simply open up a game you've made, and click on the gear symbol and select,
Deactivate.
Q: I have a game that I have played in demo mode, but when I go to enter a
license there is no place to enter it.
A: In versions of the software prior to v1.20 (look under "Help>About" to see
what version you have). You will need to deactivate the player license (see
above) and the close the program. When you reopen the program, you will be
prompted to enter your license code. In newer versions of BRAVO! the system
has changed and will give you an opportunity every time the player is opened to
enter your license code.

To Transfer your License to Another Computer:
If you want to transfer your software to another computer, or temporally set up on
another computer, you will need to deactivate your license, both in the builder and in
the player (instructions above). If you do not do this, you may find that you may not
have enough licenses.
Q: With other software, I only have to do it once, why do I have to deactivate
both the builder and player license?
A: BRAVO! is unique, in that it allows you to play a game on another computer
without installing a builder. Many organizations will designate someone to build
games and output them to remote users in play-only format. This allows the
organization to control their presentation content and provide a uniform training
tool for their field trainers. In cases like this, the creator gets a builder license
and a player license (in most cases they are identical), and the end user just gets
a player license.

2.2 Importing MQS & MBG Into BRAVO!
Importing My Quiz Show & My Billionaire Game into
BRAVO!
General Instructions: If you have made games with My Quiz Show or My Billionaire
Game, you can convert those games in BRAVO! to import them.
Instructions: You will need to select which game style you are going to import. If you
are importing a My Billionaire Game, click on Billionaire; for My Quiz Show, click on
Quiz Show then go to File. Click on Import Legacy Files , and create a new game
name, when prompted. Now, look for a dat.mbg or dat.qiz file within the game folder of
the game you want import to BRAVO!. You will only be able to see these file extensions
through Import Legacy Formats. This will bring in all of your questions and images
into the game, including any settings you may have selected.

NOTE: You can not import BRAVO's Quiz Show or Billionaire Game into a legacy
game. Watch Video Tutorial On converting Legacy Formats to BRAVO!
2.3 Checking For BRAVO! Updates
Checking for BRAVO! Updates
When an update is available, a notice will appear, in the upper right of the game
builder, indicating that there is a new software update available, Click on Download
Update to update your software. You can also click on Tools to check for updates, as
well.
v1.20 or Higher: This feature is only available with 1.20 or higher. If you have
an earlier version of BRAVO!, please update your software (Free to all users) to be
notified of future updates and fixes in the software.

NOTE: Updating your software will not effect your avatars, libraries or previous games.
2.4 Software Version
To Check what Software Version you Have
When calling in with technical support issues, you may be asked to confirm what
version of the software you have. You can do this in 2 locations in the game builder:
1. The lower right hand corner in the game builder (see image below).
2. In the About section, under the Help menu. Under the About pop up, you will be
able to see your registration code for your product, along with what version (i.e.
Classroom. Web, or LMS).

The About Menu is located under the Tools Menu. In the example above, you will
see that the software is the BRAVO! LMS Suite, and the version number is 1.20. Just
below this is the registration code.
2.5 Using Slammers/Ring-in Devices
Using Slammers/Ring-in Devices

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
The Slammers are a separate hardware component that communicates directly with the
game software via a USB hub. The Slammers will tell you who rings in first, and will
automatically apply scores to the team that rang in.

Wireless Buzzer Video Tutorials

These helpful tutorial videos will show you in 1 minute or less how easy it is to use wireless buzzers with
BRAVO! Also...see how you can easily set up your wireless game show slammer options, timers, and more!
Watch the Tutorials
To use your own ring-in devices, or to use the Slammers, you will want to disable the
Enable take turns mode (Round Robin) mode in the settings area of the BRAVO!
Game builder.

Visual Indicators: When using the slammers that tie directly into the BRAVO! game
player, you will see some visual indicators on the screen:
Ring-In Indicator: Yellow Arrows pointing toward the teams/players indicate the
slammers are un-locked and teams can ring in without being penalized.

Question Timers: Under Settings in the BRAVO! game builder, (select a game style to
view) you can set a question ring-in timer (How many seconds before allowing ring-
in?). Make sure you have timers enabled by checking next to Enable Timers (1
). To set the amount of time that will lock out the slammers, go to the How many
seconds before allowing ring-in? (2). You may need to experiment with this to
develop a time that works for you. Generally, 8-10 seconds is a recommended time
frame.

Read-in Timer in the Player: On the player side, this timer will lock out the slammers
or prevent them (players/teams) from ringing in for a pre-determined time. This allows
you time to read the questions. When a question first appears, you will note a timer
above the question,in the upper left-hand corner (see image below). If you have a read-
in timer selected (A) in the game builder, this timer will appear first. Next to the timer, to
the right, is a lock icon (B) that offers a visual indicator that teams may not ring in. When
you see a lock icon near the timer that indicates the slammers are locked out When
unlocked (D ), you will see an un-locked icon. This, along with the moving yellow arrow,
indicates that the slammers are unlocked and teams may ring in. You can also disable
the slammer ring-in timer at anytime by hitting the "L" key, or clicking on the timer
directly, if you find you do not need as much time to read a question.

To Test the Slammers When using the slammers that tie directly into the game, you
can test the slammers, to make sure they are working, by clicking on the
slammers. Look for a lock icon, that will appear near the team/player on the screen that
rang in. At anytime during game play, teams and players can see the lock icon, showing
them that their slammers are indeed communicating with the game.

Early ring-in penalty If a team/player tries to ring in to early, when using slammers,
they will be locked out for 3 seconds. This will be represented by a lock icon that will
appear on their avatar or score area.

2.6 Playing your Game in the Classroom
Playing Games in the Classroom
Once a game is made, you have 2 ways you can launch it -- the first is through the
game builder and the other is through a Play.exe file (PC).
Launching a game from the BRAVO! Game Builder:
Once you have made a game, you can launch it through the Game Builder. So, for
example, if you have a game made in Quiz Show, click on the Preview button at the
bottom of the large menu on the left side. If your game has not been named, the game
will ask you to name your game and, by default, will attempt to save the game to your
desktop, unless you choose another location.
Launching a game from the Game Folder:
When you make a game and save it, the game then resides in it's own unique folder,
which is identified by the name you gave it. Once created, the games reside on your
hard drive, separate from the BRAVO! game builder suite. They may be transferred
and played on your computer, or any another computer with a valid BRAVO! Game
Builder license.
To Launch a Game from the Game Folder:
Open up the game folder (identified by the name you gave it). In the example below,
there are 3 different games within a folder named My Games, lets say for example you
want to Play the My Sample Game, you would then open this folder and then look for a
file named Play or Play.exe (this may vary if you have your file ext. visible or not). The
Play.exe will launch the game. On the Mac, you will just click on the Play file.

Moving a game to another Computer: If you want to move your game to a different
location on your computer or play it on another computer, you need to move (or copy)
the whole folder. The game needs many of the files contained within the folder to play
your game.

2.7 Placing your Game On the Web
Placing Your Games On the Web
To place a game online, you will need to have either BRAVO! Web or BRAVO! LMS,
both of which create an HTML page you can link to. If you are not sure what version you
have, click on the Help menu in the BRAVO! Game builder , and click on the About
tab. This will show you the builder version you own. The image below illustrates what
you would see if you owned the BRAVO! LMS builder version.
About Menu

Uploading to your Server via FTP In the example below, we illustrate how you
would place the game, "My Sample Game" online. Upload the folder
My_Sample_Game and it's content to your server or website via file transfer protocol
(FTP). Once uploaded, you will want to link to the play.html within the folder.

When making games for the Web or a single Player To make your game
compatible for single player, you may want to enable/disable a few options.
1. Under TEAMS, select 1 from the Number of teams drop down menu.
2. Uncheck Prompt for number of teams. T his will lock down your player option
to one player.
3. Other options to consider: Allow character set up during game set up. This
will allow the end user to change out their avatar/character. Note: If you enable
advanced character editing, users can create their own avatar. By enabling
Automatically launch character builder (web only and single player only), the
avatar library will launch automatically.
Issues with online play:
Q: Why don't my images show up online, but play on my local machine?
A: In many cases the issue comes down to a naming convention. For example, if you
have an image you place in a game like, "sample summary.swf," some ftp locations will
change the name of the file by adding an underscore where there are spaces. So, the
file name online will read "sample_summary.swf." Because the name of the file has
been changed, the file will not show up in the game online. If this happens, you will
need to rename your files so it has no spaces.
2.8 Audience Response Pads
Audience Response Pads (Quiz Show and Spin Off)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

Overview The Audience Response Pads (ARS) are compatible with the BRAVO! suite
and currently work with the Quiz Show and Spin Off games. The software will currently
work with a few different brands of audience response pads.
Please Note: When playing in Audience Response mode, some features will be
automatically disabled. Here is a list of the features that will not work:
Final question in Quiz Show, and wagering in both Quiz Show and Spin Off (final
question). Spin Off will have a final question (last question of a game). Be aware
that no final question will appear in Quiz Show.
The bonus points option (questions)
Enable take turns mode (settings)
"Try again"
Ring in timer (Settings )
Question timer will work, but when time is up, people can still place their
answers. To stop polling, click on Next (this will reveal, by percentage, how the
audience answered)

Audience Response Pad Video Tutorials

These video tutorials will show you the basics of using your Audience Response Pads with BRAVO!

Watch the Tutorials

Getting Started:
1. Click on the Response Settings in either Quiz Show or Spin Off.
2. When the Response Settings is open, look for Response type at the top of the
Audience Response Settings page.
3. Select the brand of Response Pads you will be using from drop-down menu.
4. If you want to go back to normal play, then select the None/Slammers option.

Audience Response Pads (ARS): BRAVO! will work with a few brands of Audience
response pads. Make sure that you select the brand you are using from the Response
Type menu. Currently, the software works with 4 different types of ARS pads -- the
Reply Minis, Turning Point Response Cards, eInstruction CPS Pulse, and iClickers. For
the most part, all of these pads can be used in the same way. There are several
differences however.
The Basics: There are a variety of keypads available, but all of them work essentially
the same way. The front of the keypad provides the buttons the audience uses to select
an answer for a poll/question. The back of the keypad contains a unique ID address that
you can reference while in play or use as an identifier, if you pre-assign pads to a team
or players. All keypads need a receiver (usually a usb device) that typically requires the
installation of a driver to work.
Turning Point Response Cards: In the Audience Response Settings, you can
easily assign the pads by plugging in your USB receiver and entering your pads by
clicking on any button on the pad.
Using Pads as a Ring-in device: In this mode, you can only have one player
(captain) per team. This allows you to use the pads to ring in when a question
appears. This allows you to play a game in a more conventional format, where teams
ring in to answer. It will work similarly to the Slammers, but with some limitations. You
are limited to one pad per team.IMPORTANT: Multiple attempts to ring in will cause
them to answer the question. The first time a keypad button is pressed, triggers a "ring
in" (if they are first of course), the second time a button is pressed, it will trigger an
answer to the question.

Anonymous Mode: With this checked, you will hide the end user's name on the game
board (if you've assigned names to correspond with each of the pads -- see below). The
names of players will still be accessable, while playing the game, if you hover over the
ID light near the team score box. Please note: This feature is designed for "no Avatar
mode" (Enable Character is disabled in the Teams section) In lieu of the avatar, you will
see only the IDs of each player. If you hover over the ID light, with your mouse, you
can't identify the player's name, but you can reference the ID number which is on the
back of each pad.
Prompt for Team Names: With this checked, you can change the names of the teams
when the game is launched. If you choose not to change the team names, you can go
with the defaults or whatever names you have set up under the teams settings in the
game builder.
Prompt for Number of Teams: If you leave this option unchecked, you can lock down
the number of teams on the player side. This option is only available if you have "Assign
pads during game" checked. If you want the flexiblity to change the number of teams
when a game is launched, you will want to enable this option, by checking the
box. When a game is launched, you will be prompted to choose the number of teams
for your game.

Total Number of Teams: You can pre-select the number of teams you want to use,
when the game is launched, if you enable Prompt for number of teams. This will
allow you to adjust the number of teams on the player side. You can only adjust the
number of teams on the player side if you have enabled the Assign pads during
game.

Turning off the Avatars and displaying IDs/Player Names: By un-checking Enable
characters , in the Teams Settings, you will turn off the avatars. The Pad ID address
or names of the players (if entered and not in Anonymous Mode) will appear in place
of the avatars.
Number of Players/Pads: You can play a game in BRAVO! with up to 250
players/pads. If you are playing with teams, you can have up to 50 players per team. If
you were to use 250 pads, you would need to have at least 5 teams, or you would need
to play in All Play mode.
All Play Mode: To select all play mode, you will first need to select "no teams" (All Play
Mode) in the drop down menu in the Audience Response Settings. In All Play mode,
you have a few options that affect game play. There are no teams in All Play Mode .
Results are displayed and reflect who answered the question correctly. The players are
listed by highest score. In All Play mode , scores are based on correct answers and
speed answered. Comprehensive results are saved by the software for future
reference (located in Document>C3 SoftWorks> BRAVO! Response). Results
are categorized by the game style, date and time the game finished playing, i.e.
Spin_Off_results_5-29-2009_2.50PM would indicate a Spin Off game was completed
on 5-29-2009 at 2:50 PM.).
Anonymous Mode in the Audience Response Settings: With this feature enabled,
the scores, ID and names of each player will be hidden. In this mode, the game will be
less about competition and more about results. The game software is still tracking
individual results, in the background, which you can review after the game.

All Play Mode Scoring: You have two options in All Play mode. Both modes will
assign scores based on responses, but you can add a speed component to the score
(the faster/slower you answer, affects the number of points that are
awarded/subtracted) When you Enable the Timers (under game Settings, see image
above) you will note that the points that appear in the question will start to decrease as
the question timer counts down. Points are awarded based on the time it took to ring
in and whether the answer is correct. If timer runs out, no points will be awarded, but the
answer will be recorded in the game. If you would prefer to have the points remain
static, then go to the game Settings, and uncheck the Enable Timers. To control how
fast the point rates drop, simply increase or decrease the time in the question timer.
When you turn off the timers: You will probably not have a clear cut winner. With the
timers turned off in All Play Mode, the game will ascribe points based strictly on
whether the participant got the answer right or wrong. This leads to many ties.

All Play Competition: If you want to play a game in a more of a competitive mode,
where you are pitting one player against others, you can choose anywhere from 2-250
players, and assign names to the IDs. This will display the IDs/name next to the
scores. This adds a a level of accountability that amps up the competition. You can also
play the game in Anonymous mode (by checking this in the game builder settings
under Audience Response Settings ), where the names are hidden but the IDs will be
displayed.
Streamlining Game Set Up: If you know, for example, that you will only have two
teams, and you know exactly what the names of the teams will be ahead of time, you
can streamline the set up by un-checking the Prompt for Number of Teams (1 ) and
Team Names (2 ) . This will eliminate two screens that appear when a game is
launched. If you know for sure you will have 30 players in a session, you can also set
that up on this page, by assigning pads to each team in the Audience Response
Settings. This will allow you to launch the game and hand out the pads in the
classroom with very little set up. The software is designed to give you flexibility on the
player side, if you think you will need it. Note: With 2-20 players, the game will display
the name or ID along with the cumulative score. When you have over 20 players on a
team, you will not see the scores on the game board -- just the IDs or names.

Assign Pads During Game: With this option checked (4) in the Audience Response
Settings , you can assign the pads to teams in the classroom. When a game is
launched, for example, you will see an area to assign pads for each team. To assign a
pad to a team, click on each of the pads (any button) and the pad will be assigned to
that team. You will note the pad address, in the left column. If you want to assign a
name to a pad, you type it in the right column next to the pad number. When you've
completed this step, you are able to see (by keypad ID and name) who's on which team.
This will make it easier for you to make sure you have the proper number of pads
assigned to a team. You will repeat this for each team.
Assign Pads In the Game Builder: If you happen to know who will be attending your
training session, you can pre-assign pads (with or without names) to teams to save time
in the classroom, you can easily assign pads and names to each pad (optional) by un-
checking the Assign Pads During Game box. To assign pads to teams, simply choose
the number of pads you will be using, the number of teams you want, and the wizard will
automatically distribute the pads to the teams. Keep in mind, that if you have 30 pads
and you set up 3 teams, you will have 10 pads per team, if you have 4 teams, then you
will have 8 pads on 2 teams and 7 pads on the remaining 2. The software will balance
out the number of pads as best as possible, but, depending on the number of pads vs.
number of teams, it may not be equal. You can also assign a pad to a name here as
well, by typing it in the right column. You can also do this in the Create Class Roster.
This is the recommended way to assign pads to teams, especially if you will be using
the same roster in multiple games. In this mode, you can easily change the team
numbers and distribute the names with their IDs. On the player side, you can change
the name or ID number, or even remove an ID/player. If you want to add IDs/players
you will need to do this in the builder.
Assigning Pads to a Team: To save time in the classroom you can assign the pads to
teams ahead of time. This is especially helpful if you are using a large number of pads.
The first thing you will need to do, is enable the Assign pads during game. Next,
select the number teams under the Total team drop down menu. You can have from 2-
10 teams (if you play with only one team, then the game switches to All Play mode
). Choose the number of pads you will be using and click on Distribute Pads toTeams.
You can change the number of pads or teams at anytime, by clicking on Distribute
Pads toTeams. In the Audience response setting , you will be able to increase the
numbers of players to a team or change the ID number at anytime.
Changing the Number of Teams: Changing the number of teams can be done at
anytime. If, for example, you set up a game and have assigned 30 pads to be
distributed to 2 teams. Later, you decide you want to change the number of teams to 3.
No problem. To do this, select 3 teams, and then hit the Distribute Pads to Teams
button. This will redistribute the Pad IDs and names (if entered) to 3 teams.
Create Class Roster: Click this if you wish to pre-assign specific pad IDs to individuals
in advance of a training session. This utility allows you to easily add your participant's
names in one location, making it easy to view your class list as a whole. If you want to
use this list in other games, or you want to set up multiple rosters, make sure you save
the roster with a unique name.
Adding TurningPoint ResponseCards : Compared to the Reply Minis The address
for the TurningPoing ResponseCards is a 6 digit address You can simply type the
address in manually. To do this, make sure that the Audience Response Settings and
the Assign pads during game are unchecked. To start adding, you simply click on
any of the pads and it will assign the address in the game. Then, go to the Player Name
(optional) and you can assign the pads to an individual.
Add Pad: You can add an ID Pad to a team by simply selecting a team, then clicking on
Add Pad . This will prompt you to " Enter Pad ID". Enter the address of the pad ID
here and that's it. Be aware: If you are adding an ID that is assigned to another team,
you will want to make sure you remove it from the other team to ensure that the
score is attributed to the correct player.

Remove Pad: You can remove an ID Pad from a team by selecting a Pad ID and then
clicking on the Remove Pad button.
Save Class: When you assign IDs and names to teams, BRAVO! will automatically
save the data within the game file. If you want to create an external file, for use with
other games, or you want the ability to edit the data outside of the BRAVO! game
builder, then click on Save Class , give it a unique name, and save it to your computer.
Save Class As: If you want to create another variation of a class roster, click on Save
As , then give your roster a unique name. This will create a new data document, which
you can easily edit outside of BRAVO!
Load Class: If you have a course roster you have already made and it was saved as an
external file, you can import that list into BRAVO! Response Settings for other game
styles or new games made.
Editing your Class Roster outside of BRAVO!: By saving your Class Roster as an
external file, you can edit it with any basic spreadsheet program. This is a nice way to
allow those, without a licensed version of the program, to add or modify names. In some
cases, especially with large numbers of players, you may find it easier to work with a
spreadsheet to make your class roster.

Testing your Game: To test your game in Audience Response Mode, you will need
the hardware and a receiver. If you do not have the hardware, then you can preview
your game by selecting None/Slammer mode in the drop down menu. We suggest that
you make your game first and test it in None/Slammer mode, then set up your teams
and audience response settings. You can still make changes to any part of the game
while in Audience Response Mode.
Player Side Instructions
Initializing: When you first launch a game, the software will look for the ARS
receiver. You will see a loading icon while it waits. If you do not want your audience to
see the initializing process, have the Intro Screen enabled under Settings in the game
builder. This will give you a visual indicator that is more discreet. Another idea to
consider, is to launch your game ahead of time so it initializes, and hit the Esc key, to
minimize the screen until you are ready to start.

Reports: Once you complete a game, a question, or when you quit, you will get the
following prompt: "Would you like to view results data from this game?" You can
choose yes or no. If you choose yes, the results will show up in an html file in your
browser. If you choose no, the results will still be saved and you can find them in your
Documents folder (under C3 SoftWorks) and the data will be in a folder named
"BRAVO! Response." The game will be named (Game name, Spin_Off or
Quiz_Show)followed by the date and the time the game was completed. Example:

2.10 Question Library
Library (available in version 1.25 and higher)

Question Library Function

BRAVO! now has a Question Library that makes game creation a snap! Drag-n-drop questions from any
category or game. Create, edit and import/export questions directly into the library. As a bonus feature, you can
randomize your questions and categories for a whole new training game experience everytime!
Watch the Tutorial

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

To launch the library in any of the games, click on Questions, and then click on Launch
Question Library, or go to Tools on the top menu and click on Launch Question
Library. In this box, you will see a few options in your library.

1. Library Name: This represents the name of the library. You can have as many
libraries as you would like.
2. Keyword Filter: This allows you to search a library or libraries for questions with
a keyword or for a specific word in the question.
3. Difficulty: This will allow you search for questions that have been assigned a
difficulty level of 1,2, or 3.
4. Library: You have multiple options with in this box: New, Open, Save, Save As,
Import, Export, and Delete.
5. Add (Folder): Click on this to add a new category within a library.
6. Add Question: Select a category and the button will become active. This will
allow you to add a question into a category.
7. Remove: Select a category or question and you can remove it. When removing
a Category, it will remove all of the content within that category.
8. Edit/Rename: If you select a category, you can rename it. If you select a
question, you can edit the question outside of the game board. By clicking on the
edit button, you will open the question editor. In Showdown, you can only edit the
questions in the actual question editor, found within Showdown.
9. Category Names: The name of a category. A category can contain as many
questions as you would like.
10. Questions: This represents the questions you have in each category.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

To Edit a Question in the Library
Select the question you want to edit, then select edit. You will then be able to modify
your question outside of the game board. This provides you with the flexibility to create
questions first, and then decide where you want to place them on the board.
Moving Question from one Category to Another
You can move questions around from one category in the library to another by simply
dragging and dropping. To move around questions on the game board, you will first
need to drag it to the library, then drag it to back to the board.
Quick Tip to Clear Question of All Content
Click on the Add (no folder) icon, and add an empty question. You can then drag this to
a question on the board and it will clear it. Keep in mind, once you do that, the question
is gone, unless you placed it in the library.
To move Questions from One Game to Another
You can leave the library open from one game and open up another game format and
drag your questions to the question area.

Keyword Filter

This allows you to search a library or libraries for questions with a keyword or for a specific word in the
question.
Watch the Tutorial
Drag and Drop Functionality
To add a question from the game board to the library, you first need to select a category
within the library, then simply drag and drop the question into the library. This will also
bring in all of your content, including images, audio, summary and preview slides. To
move a question from the library to the game, simply drag a question from the library to
a question area on the game board.

Making Your Questions in the Library
1. Click on a category in your Library as the destination for a question. If you are
starting with a new library, click on the DRAG QUESTIONS HERE, rename it to
anything you want.
2. With the Category selected, Click the question Add tab .
3. Select the new Question Icon, and click on Edit, to enter your question, preview,
summary, and other information.
You can Import Questions using CSV Formats
To import questions using a .CSV file format, click on Library tab in the Question
Library, and then click on Import, to import your file.
Exporting Your Library and Media
To export your questions and any images or media files attached to the questions:
1. Add your questions to a new library
2. Save your library (Library>Save)
3. Then Export (Library>Export)
When done, this will create a folder that will contain your CSV file and all media
attached to your questions.

Need a template? Download the FREE CSV template here.

Why use a CSV file? This allows others, who may not have the game builder, to enter or
modify questions easily. To export a question bank, click on Export in the Library drop
down menu. To add images to the CSV file, make a new folder and give it a unique
name. Then when entering your questions into the CSV file, you can add the media or
image name in the CSV file, indicating when it should appear. Make sure you add any
images and media to the folder.

Randomizing your Questions and Categories

You can easily pull questions from a library and populate a game randomly. Not only can you randomize your
questions, but you can also randomize categories. As long as you have a library of questions and categories
made, there is no need to enter any questions into the game builder, the game will pull content from the library.
Watch the Tutorial

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

You also need to have enough questions in your library/categories to cover the number
of question you have chosen on the game board. For example, if you choose Quiz
Show and have chosen the game minimum (3 categories with 3 questions each), you
need to have at least three questions in each category. If, for example, you have 2
categories with 6 questions each, then the game will randomize the first 2 categories
(since they are first), then will not have any content for the third category, so the game
will default to what was placed on the game board, or be empty, if there are no
questions entered.
To randomize questions and categories, you do not have to enter any questions or
name your categories in the game builder. The game will pull randomly from the library
of questions.
1. Create your questions.
2. Create a Category by clicking on the Add (Folder icon) in the library. Give the
Category a unique name (this will appear as the Category name in the game).
NOTE: You can have more categories in your library then you do on the game
board. However, if you have 4 categories selected for the game board, you will
need at least 4 categories in the library.
3. When you get your categories (with questions) set up in the library, you will need
to name them, so they can be assigned to the game. Go to Library tab (4), select
Save As, and give each category a unique name.
4. Then go to Setting area of the main game board, and check Use randomized
questions from library drop down box. Choose the library you want to use (look
for the name in the drop down menu). If you do not see the library, make sure
you saved it in the library.
5. Launch your game, and you will now see it randomly pull questions from the
library.
6. Any time you make adjustments in your library, you will need to go into the library
tab, and click on Save to update.
If you choose to randomize, you do not need to enter any questions on the game board.
If you do have questions, you do not need to remove them. The game will simply assign
questions that are in the library.

A note about Quiz Show and the Final Question
If you choose to randomize and you have the final question enabled, you need to be
aware that the game will treat the final question as a category and will randomize the
content as well. A suggestion to get around this, is to create one less category in the
library (do not include the category for the final question in the library). For example,
let's say you have a 3x3 board selected and a final question. In the library, create 3
categories and place as many questions in the library as you want (just make sure you
have at least 3 for each category). When the game launches, it will randomize the first
3 categories (it always starts with the first category listed), but since there is not a 4th
category, the game will keep the final question as is (make sure you add one to the
game board or turn off the final question). If you add 4 categories in the library, in this
example, then the game will randomize the final question. Why is this a problem? It
becomes a problem only if you are using summaries in a question. The final question
can not display a final summary.
A Note about Spin Off and the Category Colors and Icons
When randomizing questions in Spin Off, the name of the category will become
whatever the name of the category is in the library. You can not assign a color or icon to
a specific category in a library. There are 2 ways around this: k eep your icons non-
specific or keep them general, so they will match up with whatever the category name
is. If, for example, you want the categories in the library to be assigned to a specific
category on the wheel, all you need to do is make sure that you name the category on
the wheel and the category in library exactly the same.
A Note about Billionaire Game Library
Billionaire game uses a 4-answer multiple choice style question format and does not
support open-ended questions. You can edit questions within the library so they will
work in Billionaire. If you have a 5-answer multiple choice question, you will need to
modify it to 4 possible answers. In random mode, the game will pull from a different
category after each round. Make sure that each category has a enough questions to
match what is selected on the game board. Category names will not show up in
Billionaire, they are just placeholders for questions.
A Note about Showdown Game Library
The Showdown game is more of an open answer format with multiple correct answers.
You can import multiple choice questions into the game, but they all will be correct. For
the most part, you will use questions made in Showdown, only in Showdown, since this
game plays differently than the other games.

Showdown questions in the library will have the following icon to mark the question
as a Showdown question. (To save Show Down questions in the library, you will need to
click and drag those questions from your Show Down game, into the library).

To use Showdown in random mode, all your questions, in the library you choose to use,
must have the red .

2.11 Question Editor

Open-Ended or you can use the default answer style which is Multiple Choice. If you
are choosing open ended, you will see on the game side a simple correct (check mark)
or incorrect (red X) option to answer the question. Place the correct answer in the empty
answer area in the game builder and the answer will show up after a question is
answered.
Poll Option (Response Pads): When using Audience Response Pads or
making a game online, you can have a question that has no wrong answer, this
is a great way to poll the audience on any topic. It is only considered wrong if you
do not answer the question.

(4) Difficulty: This is optional, but you can rate your questions with a difficulty level of 1,
2 or 3. This will prove helpful, if you need to sort your questions by difficulty level. This
feature will work with our new library system coming out in October of 2009.
(5) Font Attributes: When adding text to your question, you can modify the typeface
(bold, italic, or underline). To change the font style globally (whole game) go to
Graphics and choose a different Game Font. Remember, like PowerPoint, if you are
making a game on one computer and plan on playing on another computer, make sure
you use a font that will be on both computers. You can also change the type layout here
as well.

Using Hyperlinks: Select the text you want to hyperlink, click on the link icon (A), in the
pop up menu type in your address you want opened in the game in the URL. Leave the
target empty. You may want to underline the text to it to give a hyperlink look (B). To
open a file on your local drive, replace the http:// with the local address like:

keep your answers short. Use the Summary to add additional information or teaching
points.
(9) Load custom images/video (SWF, JPG, GIF, PNG, FLV): You can add images to
the question, by clicking on the image button on the left. When the game is launched,
you can click on the image to enlarge it (to full screen). Click again to make it smaller.
When using images as part of question, the ideal size is 280x200.

NOTE: A library will be added in October of 2009 and is not currently in the builder.
Video Tips: When using video we suggest using a FLV (Flash Video Format) whenever
you can. A FLV video when used will give you a playhead so you can pause or rewind
the video. A SWF Video will just play and you will not have any control of it when using
it. A SWF video will continue to loop until stopped.
Online Audio Suggestion: If you want to narrate the text that appears on the screen
you can insert that as a audio file that will automatically start when the question is
previewed.
Online Use of Images, Video and Audio files: Just like when posting things for a
website, if you are using any content into your game you will want to make the files web
friendly from a size perspective. It is suggested that if you are using images to try and
keep the size no larger than 574 x 400 and to use web settings when saving the
images, images used with in question would ideally be 280x200.

Assign Points for each Answer (6 ): You can assign a point value for each answer.
You can give a higher point value for the most popular answer, or assign a higher point
value on answers that are not so obvious. For example: Name 5 symptoms of a heart

Online Use of Images, Video and Audio files: Just as with posting things for a
website, you want to make all files in your game as web friendly (from a size
perspective) as possible. It is suggested that you keep the size of all images no larger
than 800 x 600, and that you use web settings when saving the images. The same
principle should be applied to video and audio files.
2.11.5 Preview & Summary Screens
Preview & Summary Screens

The Preview screen appears before a question, and the Summary screen appears
after the question. Both screens work exactly the same way: when they contain any
content, they will automatically appear in the game. You can enter, text, images, and
video here. The Preview and Summary screens will only appear when you've entered
content. The summary is used as a way to add additional information after a question.
We suggestion that you try to keep your answers short, and use the summary area to
expand on your answer. In the examples below, you will note how images, text, and
audio will appear in the game builder and then in the game player. When using an
image (SWF, JPG, GIF, PNG, FLV), you can click on the image to go to full screen for
better viewing. To clear any data in the editor, click the Clear button.
Using Images in Questions: If you are going to use an image as part of a
question, consider placing it in the preview slide.
Using the Preview Slide to Set up a Question: Consider using the preview
slide to set up a question. Let's say, for example, that your question is this: You have a
56 year old male having chest pain and shortness of breath, for the past 2 hours. What
should be your first treatment? In the preview slide type in: You have a 56 year old male
having chest pain and shortness of breath, for the past 2 hours., In the question
area, type in: What should be your first treatment? This helps keep your questions
simple and easy to read.

Use of Text in the Preview or Summary Screens.

Use of Images and Audio Files in the Summary or Preview Screens
The optimal size for images in the preview and summary slides is 600x494.

This is how an image with audio will appear in the Summary or Preview area game
player.

Use of Images and Text in the Summary or Preview Screens

Enlarge Images to Full Screen: By clicking on the image, in a preview or summary
slide, you can go to full screen. The image, when shown with text, will split the
screen In this case, the image will appear on the top half of the screen and the text
below.

2.16 PING (Virtual Response System)
PING (Virtual Response System)
PING (Virtual Response System) requires a special login account with password. This
allows you to create a unique address for your Virtual Response Pad, so that it can
communicate with your game. You will need to get a password and account set up to
use PING. To find out more, please contact sales@C3SoftWorks.com or 1-888-333-
1969.
Overview
PING (Virtual Response System) is a part of the BRAVO! suite and currently works
with the Quiz Show and Spin Off games within the suite. PING allows you to play a
game through a webinar, or in a computer lab, that allows each player to have their own
virtual remote key pad. PING is delivered to the end-user through an HTML page or as
an executable file (.exe). This allows players to answer questions on their local
computer (they will need internet access for this to work) and "Ping" the host's game
with their response. The Virtual Response Pads allow the user to enter their name and
play along using the Virtual Pad. PING plays just like the classroom Audience
Response Pads, but uses virtual remotes instead of regular key pads (see below
image). No information about your computer or game content is transmitted. The only
information that is transmitted ("Pinged") via the internet is the answers (A,B,C,D, or
E), chosen by the participants. The results are stored on your local machine and not
online, so your information is secure.

Getting started: First build your game, like you normally would for the
classroom. Keep in mind, that you want to avoid open-ended questions. Once you have
your game made, go to Response Settings on the main menu, on the left of the
BRAVO! game builder (Only works forQuiz Show and Spin Off at this time). Choose
from the Response type menu >PING (Virtual Response Pads). Once this is done,
other options will be visible for PING in the Audience Response Settings.
Audience Response Settings for PING

1. View Admin Page: Click on the View Admin Page. This will take you online, so
you can view your account settings. See Management of Account below to
learn more.
2. Anonymous Mode (hide names): By checking this, the names of the players
will be hidden, once the game starts. As a presenter, you can always hover over
the player light (placed on the teams area to the left of the screen) and identify
the player by their name and pad ID.
3. Prompt for Team Name: By checking this, you have the option of changing the
team names when the game is launched. If you want to streamline the process,
just leave the box unchecked and this step will be skipped as the game begins.
This is beneficial if you are firm on your team names, and want to speed up the
game set up.
4. Prompt for Number of Teams: By checking this, you have the option of
changing the number of teams when the game is launched. If you want to
streamline the process, just leave the box unchecked the box, and this step will
be skipped as the game begins. This is beneficial if you are firm on the number of
teams, and want to speed up the game set up.
5. Total Teams: You can preselect the number of teams you want to use in a
game, by checking Prompt for number of teams . By checking this, you then
have the option of changing the number of teams when the game is launched.
6. Enter your information below and press submit to retrieve your link: The
first time you use the Virtual Response Pads, you will need to enter the user
name and password that was assigned to you. This will allow you to log in
online to retrieve the unique ID that you will send out to attendees. This link (an
HTML address that you will send to attendees) creates their virtual pad, that will
communicate directly with your game. Click on "remember me," if you want the
game builder to remember your login information.
7. Retrieve Link: Click on Retrieve Link, to populate the field below (8) with your
unique HTML address for the pads that will communicate directly with your
game.
8. Send this link below to your students: You can copy your unique address for
the virtual pads here. There is even a copy link (9) and an Email Link (10) to
interface with your email program to send out the address. If you have problems
with the Email Link, just click on Copy Link , and paste in your outgoing email to
send to attendees.
9. Send this link below to your students: You can copy your unique address for
the virtual pads here. There is even a copy link (9) and a email link (10) that will
interface with your email program so you can send out the address. If you have
problems with the Email Link, just click on Copy Link, and paste in your outgoing
email to send to attendees.
Unique Address: Each subscription for PING (VRS) will have a unique address
assigned to it. This address can be used over and over again with each game you
make. For example, if you are going to play PING 3 times today, you will have the
same address for each of the games, even if the games are different. Keep in mind,
with each unique address, only one game can be played at a time. If you have multiple
users using PING with the same address, at the same time, the game will not be able to
decipher which game the data is being sent to.
Management of Account: Click on the View Admin Page in the Response Settings
(make sure you have the drop down set to PING), to access the administration page
online. Login with the login and password you were assigned. Once logged in, you can
change your password and email address. To make changes to your profile, click on
profile, to change both your email address and change your password. You can also
check the status of your subscription here as well.

Launching PING From Game Player: You can launch your game, log in, and send out
a PING address right from the game player. You may choose to use this feature, if you
do not have access to the game builder. When the game is launched in PING (VRS)
mode, you will be asked to enter your login and password. Click "OK" and you will see
a new screen with the VRP address, which you can either copy and paste or email to
attendees. If click "cancel," the game will play in regular mode with no VRP. Depending
on the webinar program you are using, you may be able to send a live link through the
chat window. If the webinar program you are using does not support live links, you can
either email the link, or have them visit www.c3softworks.com and click on the Launch
PING (http://virtual.c3softworks.com/launch.html ) image in the upper right hand corner
of the site. All they will need to enter is the numeric characters at the end of the url. For
example, if the url is: http://virtual.c3softworks.com/launch.html?id=8045, they
would enter 8045. This will then launch an HTML (web page) Virtual Response Pad for
them to use.
Launching PING From an .exe: Currently (PC users only), you can send out a
ping.exe file for the end user to launch their virtual pad. The advantage of the ping.exe
file vs. the HTML PING, is that the ping.exe will stay on top of all windows and browsers
that are open. The end user does not need to have admin rights to use the ping.exe,
nor does it install anything on the end user's computer. For the end user 's virtual pad to
communicate with your game, you will need to send the your unique 4 digit ID code. If
you do not know your code, look under Audience Response Settings, make sure PING
is selected, then log in with your user name and password. Once done, you will see a
series of numbers at the end of the url string. The last 4 digits are your Quiz ID. In the
example, url: http://virtual.c3softworks.com/launch.html?id=8045, your code will be
8045.

Managing the PING (VRS) Pads: When you first get started, you can launch your
game and open a few instances of VRP pads. This will help you become familiar with
what the end user will be viewing, as you play a game online. The pads are constantly
communicating with your game, and will automatically recognize when it is time to
answer a question.
The pads provide a place for players to add their name and choose a team. To pick a
team (in team mode), they choose from a drop down menu. To add their name (name
optional), they simply type it in the box provided. Once they are ready, they click on
Next on the VRS Pad, and this information will be transferred to your game. The
participants' virtual pads will then stand by and will show the players what team they are
on, and even match up the colors and team names (if in team mode). Their pad ID and
name will populate the game board. If a player did not enter a name, you can still
identify them by the player ID assigned to them (this is based off of the order they
signed in). The player ID is located in the lower lefthand corner of the VRS Pad, and on
the game board, under Response Pad ID . If someone is on the wrong team, you can
select them on your board and delete them and then have them re-enter the information
on their pad.
Number of VRS Pads: As in the classroom, you can have up to 250 players playing at
one time. In team mode, you can have up to 50 players per team. If you prefer to play in
All Play Mode, this can be set up in the game builder, and if Prompt for Number of
Teams is enabled, you can also choose the number of teams or All Play when the
game is launched.

The pad above, belongs to Sara. She is on the BLUE TEAM and has Pad ID #0.
Change the Text that appear on the Virtual Pad: In the example above, you can
change, "Waiting for the next questions..." to say anything you want, by changing it in
the Game Text.

Answering Questions: When a question is shown, the VRS pads become active, and
players can now answer. The number of choices (A,B,C,D,E,) will be based off the
number of possible answers you have in the game. If, for example, you have only 2
choices, then the Pad will show only 2 possible choices as well. The participants can
only answer once and can not change an answer once submitted. The
participant's response will communicate immediately with the game interface via the
internet. You can also monitor who has answered or not answered, by hovering your
mouse over the player indicator box (these indicators represent each player and reside
on the left side of the board).

2.17 Change Game Text in Player
All Games

Game Text
any of the text that appears in the game. You may not want, for example, the word
"Incorrect" to appear after a wrong answer. So, you can change it here. This is also
where you can change the game text into any language.
Advanced Users: You can, for example, create a game entirely in Spanish. You can
edit the text here and then save the game as a template for any new games you create,
so you do not have to modify the text each time.

2.19.2 Adding Images
Branding your Avatars
You can brand your avatars with logos, corporate colors, and other images to help you
create unique characters for your game.

Working with pre-made images: You can visit
http://c3softworks.com/resources/extras.html and download Avatar Objects, these
object contain a variety of images you can add to help you customize the look of your
avatars.
Q: Where can I load an image? Currently the only place you can add an image in the
Character Builder is in the Headwear and on the Clothes within the Character
Builder.
Q: Will BRAVO! convert my logo so it fits perfectly on a shirt or hat? unfortunately
no, sometimes you may get lucky where your logos does fit and you can match the shirt
color. But to get a logo or image to look the best, you can use our Adobe Photoshop or
Adobe Flash templates for clothing and hats to line up your images so they look their
best. To make the images fit the best on a shirt or hat, it is best to have the image sit on
a transparent background like a PNG file or a SWF file.

In the image above, we have our Coffee University Logo sitting on a transparent
background (checkered background), drag the layer from the Coffee University palate
(1) to the shirt template (2). Resize the logo so it fits, use the guides to help you position
the logo. Before saving the image as a PNG, you will want to turn off any visible layers
in the template like in this case turn the eyeball off for the female shirt and the
Podium (3), so only the logo is seen. Than save the as a PNG from Photoshop.
To load an image to Clothes:
1. Choose a male or female character (you can not add an image to a special
character).
2. Choose a shirt that your logo will fit. For example in this image a turtleneck was
chosen because it gave us a lot of real estate to help the logo stand out.
3. Then go to your Load Image on the top of the page, and browse for your logo
you created.
4. Once the logo is loaded it will appear on your avatar. If it does not line up quite
the way you like, make an adjustment in Photoshop or Flash, and try it again. To
remove an image from the Clothes, click on the Remove Image at the top of
your screen.

To load an image to a Hat (Headware):
1. Choose a male or female character (you can not add an image to a special
character).
2. Choose a hat in the Headwear that your logo will fit on, you may have to
experiment with the templates to get you image to look they way you want. For
example in this image we are going to add the Coffee University Logo to a
baseball hat.
3. Then go to your Load Image on the top of the page, and browse for your logo
you created.
4. Once the logo is loaded it will appear on your avatar.
Think outside of the Box
If you are using a game to teach and create a little competition try a sports metaphor.

In this example, instead of creating police uniforms to represent teams, we created a
look of teams preparing for the big game/battle/match/faceoff. To get started click on
Customize or New in the Character Builder.
1. Choose a male or female character.
2. Go to Clothes, and go to the second page of Clothes options (green arrow at
the bottom of the page) and choose the jersey. Use the Change Color 1, and
choose white for a color then go to the Change Color 2, and choose Blue (this
avatar will represent the Blue team of course).
3. We are branding these avatars in 2 ways, the hat badge and the text on the
jersey. The text on the jersey was simply created using the Photoshop clothing
template and typing in the text and using the Create Warped Text tool. To apply
changes to the Clothes, click on the Save button.
4. Then click on Headwear and click on the green arrow at the bottom of the page
to go to the second page, and choose the helmet. Then change the color of the
helmet using Change Color 1 to a blue.
5. To add the badge (of course you can use any image), the badge used here can
be found in the Avatar Objects.
6. To load the badge or image, click on Load Image.
7. Click Save to apply changes to the Headwear.
8. To further the look of the "Battle", click on Facial Accessories and you can add
a black and blue eye (male only) or the black paint under the eyes available in
both male and female.
9. Then do the same for each additional team.

3.3 Graphics
Quiz Show Graphics

This game allows you to customize the colors of the game board, and customize the
stage of the game, by allowing you to add your own images or logos to the game.

Game Fonts (1 ): Choose your fonts for the game. These fonts will effect all fonts in the
questions, summary, and preview areas. When choosing fonts, keep in mind that you
need to have these fonts installed on any computer where the game may be used. The
default font for all games is Arial. Primary Colors (2 ): Will apply to the top bar of Quiz
Show stage, and the Secondary Color will apply to the Question area on the stage.

The image above illustrates how some items could be customized:
1. Custom logo will appear here. To get the transparent look (no background just
the logo) you will need to create a PNG or SWF file.
2. The Primary Color
3. The Secondary Color
Colors (2): You can customize the colors of the default stage, by changing the primary
and secondary colors. You do this by clicking on the colors swatches. You can choose
from a variety of colors presented in the color grid of the swatches, or you can type
in Hexadecimal Color Codes ensure an exact match to a specific color. When changing
colors, especially when you are projecting the game in a large room, you may want to
preview first. Some colors may show up much differently on a computer screen then
when projected.
Avatar or Team Colors : To change the color for the teams, go to Teams, and select
the swatch next to the team name to change the team colors.
Advanced User: How do I get a Hexadecimal color from my logo or image? You
will need some type of image editor like Adobe Photoshop. Click on the color with the
eye dropper (this will open up the color picker) and then go down to the area below the
RGB. Copy and paste the code in the box (highlighted in yellow below), then go to
BRAVO! - Graphics. Click on the color you want to change (in the example below, we
are changing the Primary Color) in the pop up, and paste (Ctrl-V) the code. Then touch
the large color swatch to close, and the color will now be applied to the game board.
Give it a try, go to Graphics, and click on Primary Colors. Type in, or copy and paste:
990000.

Load Custom Logo (3): You can load a logo or image to customize the game board.
Once imported, the image will appear in the upper left hand corner of the game screen.
The size should be 250 x 75 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG. See image
1.a below, to see how this will appear in the game player.

Advanced User: Because you can use SWF and GIF files, you can also add animated
logos to your game board. To give your logo or image a cleaner look, consider creating
a PNG file allowing the colored background of the game board to show through (no
box). You can also make the logo a clickable link as well (SWF).

PNG vs. SWF: Even though both file formats will work, anytime you can use a vector
image (made in Flash), the image will be crisper.

Game Graphic Templates: You can visit our "extras page" at
http://c3softworks.com/resources/extras.html , to download Photoshop and Flash
templates for adding images to the games.
Load Custom Stage Background (4) : You can load your own custom image as a
stage background. You can use Photoshop or any image program, including Adobe
Flash. The size should be 800 x 600 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG. This
image will appear in place of the default stage currently in the game.

Loading Custom Stage Background Overlay: When you make a custom stage
image, it will sit over the default stage. By making your custom stage with a transparent
background (PNG or SWF file), you can further customize your game board with
images, text, ads or whatever you would like. This only works in Quiz Show.

Load Custom Intro (5): You can load a logo or image to customize the game screen.
The image will appear in the upper left corner of the game screen. The size should be
616 x 417 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG, or FLV. This image will appear
as the game board first opens. You can use the default animation that comes with the
game or you can create your own animation.

Advanced User: Because you can use FLV, SWF and GIF files, you can also
add animated intro screens. If you are going to use video we suggest using FLV
as your file format, it will run smoother both offline and on the internet.
Load Custom Game Board Background (6): This is the area that appears directly
behind the category and question board. It will be visible when the game first populates
with questions and after questions are answered. This is a great area to place a logo or
an image. The size should be 745 x 515 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG
file format. In the image below you will see the mythical, Coffee University logo behind
the answered questions. This was created in Photoshop and the opacity was dropped to
30%.

Preview Images in game builder (7): If you have an image assigned in the game
builder, click on the picture to the right of the name, to preview the image.
Advanced User: Consider using your logo or image and saving it as a PNG file and
dropping the opacity to 25 percent. This makes the image subtle, but visible. You may
choose to experiment with the opacity to best meet your needs.

Game Graphic Templates: You can visit our "extras page" at

3.4 Teams
Teams Set Up

Number of Teams (1 ):
Pre-select the number of teams you would like to have when the game is launched. You
can choose from 1-10 teams..
*Prompt for Number of Teams (2 ): When checked, this feature gives the instructor
the ability to adjust the number of teams when the game is launched. If you want to
lock in the number of teams, just leave this box unchecked. If you are not sure what
you may want, we suggest enabling this feature, to give yourself maximum flexibility
when playing a game.
*Prompt for Team Name (3 ): If checked, this feature allows the user to change the
team names when the game is launched. So, by default, a team name may be the Blue
Team, but can be changed when the game is launched. If you leave this box
unchecked, the team names can not be changed, when the game is launched. If you
are not sure what you may want, we suggest enabling this feature, to give yourself
maximum flexibility when playing a game.
*Enable Characters (4 ): When checked, the Avatars will appear in the game. By
leaving this unchecked the avatars will be off and a box (like the one depicted below, in
the No Avatar Image) will appear. To add or edit your avatars, click on the avatar image
to the right of the screen (Enable Characters box must be checked to select or edit the
avatars).

*Allow Character Selection during Editing (5 ):
When checked, this feature allows the game user to select a pre-made avatar, from the
library, when the game is launched.
Enable Advanced Character Editing (6 ):
When checked, this feature allows the game user to create their own avatars when the
game is launched.
*Automatically Launch Character Builder (7 ):
When checked, this feature triggers the character builder to automatically launch after
the intro screen. When left unchecked, the character editing is enabled and the end
user would need to click on the avatar character on the game board to edit. This is
recommended for online games where the end user would be able to choose from a
pre-made list, or make their own, depending on the options you allow in the builder.
*Note: The items denoted with an asterisk, are features that, when checked, will
add a step you must click through to start your game. If you want to jump into a
game, and not interact with these features when the game is launched, then
uncheck them in the Teams set up area.
Why would I want an option in the game player to change teams, names,
and avatars if I can do it in the game builder? The reason for this option is,
that once a game is made, it no longer needs the game builder (unless you want
to make changes to the content of the game or settings). In some organizations,
games are pre-made for a user (who does not have the game builder) and, by
enabling some of the features like, "Prompt for Number of Teams," the
instructor then has the flexibility to determine how many teams they may want in
the game competition. If you know exactly what settings you want in your game,
you can then uncheck these items and the game will have a faster set up.
Name your Teams (8 ):
You can pre-name your teams in the team name boxes on this page. If you check
Prompt for team name, you can change the name when the game first opens up.
Change Team Colors(9 ):
You can click on the color swatch next to each team and assign a different color.
Click Character to edit (10 )
This box will show the avatar/character to the right of the screen, if you check the
Enable characters box. To edit or change out the avatar/character, click on the
avatars.

seconds.
3.6 Settings
Quiz Show Settings

Game Title (1 ): This is the text that will appear on the upper right corner of the game board. By default,
Quiz Show will appear here, but you can change it to anything you want. You can place your company or
organization's name here or the name or subject of your game. The choice is yours.
Intro Text (2 ): If the Enable Intro is selected, you can enter some text to appear on the bottom of the
Intro Screen. By default, Welcome to Quiz Show will appear. You can also leave this area blank, if you
do not want it to appear on the game.
Enable Intro (3 ): When selected, the intro screen is the first thing to appear when a game is launched.
By default, this screen has the Quiz Show Logo on it, and appears as the music plays. The intro screen is
completely customizable as well. You can customize the screen, in the Graphics section, with any image
i.e. FLV, SWF, JPG, or PNG file format. To skip the intro screen, just uncheck this feature.

Enable Final Question (4 ): By checking this box, you enable the final question. There are 2 places in
the game builder that this can be used. The other place is in the "Questions" sections. It is "on" by
default, but you may choose to disable it.
User Note: Why would you want to turn off the final question? This is a personal choice. There are a few
extra steps to take when the game is played with a final question (You must enter the final wagers
etc.). Some instructors may choose to keep the game very simple and turn off this option. The nice thing
is, you get a choice. In Audience Response or PING mode the final questions will automatically be turned
off.
Enable Take Turns Mode (Round Robin) (5 ):Allows the game to randomly choose which team starts
first. Once the game is underway, teams will be randomly chosen to pick a question.
NOTE: Slammers/Ring in Devices:
If you are planning on using ring-in devices, you will want to make sure that Enable Take Turns
Mode (Round Robin) is turned off.
Enable Print Certificate (single player mode) (6 ): When selected, in single player mode, the player will
be prompted to print out a certificate, to show completion of the game, at the end of the game . For this to
work, the teams must be set to one, and the Prompt for number of Teams needs to be unchecked.
Enable Review (7 ): When selected, this will allow the user to go back, to any question that has been
played, to review the question or summary. When the game is completed, the game board will appear
again, allowing you to review the game questions.
Pause for Categories (8 ): When selected, this will pause each category as it is introduced. This may be
desirable for a classroom setting, where an instructor may want to elaborate on each category. For an
online game, it is recommended to leave this unchecked.
Enable Try Again (9 ): When enabled, other teams will be able to answer a question, if the controlling
team answers incorrectly.
Enable Timers (10 ):There are 2 options for timers in the game, which can be used when this feature is
enabled.
Don't subtract points for an incorrect answer (11 ): When checked, the game will only assign
points for correct answers. Incorrect answers will not be penalized (loss of points).
Use Randomized Questions From Library (12 ): If you are going to randomize your questions
from a library, enable this feature, by checking the box, and then choose the library you want to
use from the drop down menu.
How many seconds before teams can ring in? (13 ): If you are using a ring-in device, like the
slammers, you can choose a set time to prevent the slammers from working. This feature gives
the instructor/student time to read a question. A good number to choose for this feature is 8-15
seconds. But, you may want to experiment with this. If a team does attempt to ring in prior to the
timer set time, the game will lock-out that team for 3 seconds. You can unlock the timer at any
time during a game, by selecting the "L" key on your keyboard.
How many seconds allowed to answer a question? (14 ) You can choose how many seconds
you want to give a team to answer a question. When using multiple players, the game will give
the instructor a chance to ignore the "Time's up" or accept it, and it will be counted as an incorrect
answer.
Percent Required to Pass (15 ): This feature is for single player mode only. This sets a winning score
threshold. For this to work, the teams must be set to one, and the Prompt for number of Teams needs
to be unchecked.

previewed.
Online Use of Images, Video and Audio files: Just as in posting things for a website,
the content in your game should be web friendly, from a size perspective. It is
suggested, that if you are using images, that you try to keep the size no larger than 800
x 600 and to use web settings when saving the images. The same principle should be
applied to video and audio files.
4.2.2 Showdown Summary
ShowDown Summary
The summary is used as a way to add additional information after a question. Try to
keep your answers short and to the point. Use the summary area to go into greater
detail. The examples below illustrate how images, text and audio will appear in the

PNG, FLV file) you can click on the image to go to full screen for better viewing. To
clear any data in the editor, click the Clear button.

This is how an image with audio will appear in the Summary Screen in the game
player.

When changing colors (especially in games that you plan to project in a large room),
you may want to preview them first. Some colors will show up much differently on a
computer screen than when projected.
Advanced User: How do I get a Hexadecimal color from my logo or image?
You will need some type of image editor like Adobe Photoshop. Click on the color

suggest that you use at least 4 questions. Otherwise, your pyramid in the game will look
a little short.

This represents the number of questions you want in each category. In Billionaire Game
you can have anywhere from 1-15 questions.

Billionaire Graphics

This game allows you to customize the basic accent colors of the game board and add
your logo and custom intro screen to the game.

default font for all games is Arial.
Accent Color (2 ): From the drop down menu, you have 4 choices of colors and
graphics that will appear in the game.

Once imported, the image will appear in upper left corner of the game screen. The size
should be 250 x 75 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG. See image 1.a below
to see how this will appear in the game player.

The image will appear in the upper left corner of the game screen. The size should be
616 x 417 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, PNG, or FLV. This image will appear as
the game board first opens. You can use the default animation that comes with the
game, or you can create your own animation. You can turn off the intro screen option in
the Settings.

Advanced User: Consider using your logo or image, and saving it as a PNG file. If you
drop the opacity to 25 percent, the image is subtle, but visible. You may choose to
experiment with the opacity to best meet your needs.

Advanced User: Because you can use FLV, SWF and GIF files, you can also add
animated intro screens. If you are going to use video, we suggest using FLV as your file
format. It will run smoother, both offline and on the internet.

Team, but can be changed when the game is launched. By leaving it unchecked, the
name can not be changed when the game is launched. If you are not sure of which to

leaving this unchecked, the avatars will be turned off (see comparison below). To add or
edit your avatars, click on the avatar image to the right of the screen (Enable Characters

When this feature is checked, the character builder will automatically launch after the
intro screen. When unchecked, the character editing is enabled, and the end user would
need to click on the avatar character on the game board to edit. This is recommended
for online games, where the end user could choose from a pre-made list of characters,
or make their own.

that once a game is made, it no longer needs the game builder, unless you want
to make changes to the content of the game or settings. In some organizations,
games are pre-made for a user (who do not have the game builder) and by
enabling some of the features like "Prompt for Number or Teams etc." the
instructor then has the flexibility to adapt the game to their instructional

Game Title (1 ): This is the text that will appear on the upper right corner of the game
board. By default, Billionaire will appear here, but you can change it to anything you
want. You can place your company or organization's name here or the name or subject
of your game. The choice is yours.
Intro Text (2 ): If the Enable Intro is selected, you can type in some text that will

screen in the Graphics section with any image i.e. FLV, SWF, JPG, or PNG file format.
to skip the intro screen just uncheck this option.

How many seconds allowed to answer a question? (4 ): You can choose how many
seconds you want to give a team to answer a question. When using multiple players,
the game will give the instructor a chance to ignore the "Time's up" or accept it and it
will be counted as an incorrect answer.
How many seconds before teams can ring in? (5 ): If you are using a ring in device
like the slammers, that tie into the software, you can choose a set time that will prevent
the slammers from working. This feature provides a way to keep the slammers from
ringing in and gives the instructor time to read a question. A good number to choose for
this feature is 8-15 seconds. But, you may want to experiment with this. If a team does
attempt to ring in prior to the timer set time, the game will lock-out that team for 3
seconds. You can unlock the timer at anytime during a game by selecting the L key on
your keyboard.

Percent Required to Pass (6 ): This feature is for single player mode only. This sets a
winning score threshold. For this to work, the teams must be set to one, and the

end after the first incorrect answer. This option is best used in single player mode.
Use dollar signs ($) on ladder? (8 ): To add a $ sign to the points, check this box. To
use the Euro or other money symbols, copy and paste the font of the symbol, and add
it, as well as the point value in the question points, to the Question Title.
Enable coin toss? (9 ): When enabled, in 2 player mode, and not using slammers , this
feature provides an imaginary coin flip to see who starts first. By turning this off, you
can choose who you want to start.
Append A,B,C,D, before answers? (10 ): By default, the answers are preceded by
1,2,3,4. To change to A,B,C,D, enable this setting.
Don't subtract points on an incorrect answer (11 )When checked, the game will only
use correct answers for the points. Incorrect answers will not apply against a player or
team.
Enable Print Certificate (single player mode) (12 ): When selected (in single player
mode) a certificate to indicate completion of the game can be printed by the player. For
this to work, the teams must be set to one, and the Prompt for number of Teams
needs to be un-checked.
Helplines
The helplines are intended as optional ways to get your audience involved, especially if
you are having single players play the game in front of an audience. You can turn these
off if you prefer. When enabled, each team can only use each help line once.

50/50 (13 ): When a player chooses this option, the game will remove 2 of the wrong
answers.

Enable "Ask an Expert"? (14 ): This is an option that a player has, to ask someone in
the audience or call someone to help them with a question.

Enable "Poll the Audience"? (15 ): This is a non-scientific poll, that will allow you to
get audience feedback to an question.

Playing Billionaire Game Instructions

Launching your game: You can launch the game by either clicking on "Preview" (with
a game open in the BRAVO! game builder), or by clicking on the Play.exe (PC) or the

then check under Teams to see if you have these options enabled.
3. Using Wireless Ring-In Devices? (3): If you are not using slammers, then
select No . This is important, because the game plays dramatically differently
based on your answer.
Please note: you can skip many of these options (like prompt for number of teams,
team name, and allow character selection during game) by disabling them in the Team
set up area in the builder.
Slammers/Ring-in Device: When using slammers, the game will allow the first to ring
in, to be the first to answer. Each question is then answered by the first to ring in.

Video Tips: When using video we suggest using an FLV (Flash Video Format)

the video. An SWF Video will just play, and you will not have any control of it when
using it. An SWF video will continue to loop until stopped.
you can insert that as a audio file, that will automatically start when the question is
previewed.
Online Use of Images, Video and Audio files: Just as with posting things for a
website, you want to make all files in your game as web friendly (from a size
perspective) as possible. It is suggested that you keep the size of all images no larger
than 800 x 600, and that you use web settings when saving the images. The same
principle should be applied to video and audio files.

6.3 Graphics
Spin Off Graphics
This game allows you to customize the colors of the game board or import or customize
the stage of the game by allowing you to add your own images or logos to the game.

default font for all games is Arial. Primary Colors will apply to the top bar of Spin Off
stage, and the Secondary Color will be applied to the background and will appear
more as a color overlay.

See the difference?

In the above image, here is a breakdown of some of the items customized:
1. Custom logo will appear here. To get the transparent look (no background -- just
the logo) you will need to create a PNG or SWF file.
2. The Primary Color
3. The Secondary Color
Colors (2 ): You can change the colors of the default stage by changing the primary
and secondary colors by clicking on the colors swatches. You can choose from a variety
of colors from the swatches or you can use Hexadecimal Color Codes that you can
match up to a specific color you want to use. When changing colors (especially when
you are projecting the game in a large room), you may want to preview first. Some
colors will show up much differently on a computer screen then when projected.
Advanced User: How do I get a Hexadecimal color from my logo or image?
You will need some type of image editor like Adobe Photoshop. Click on the color
with the eye dropper, this will open up the color picker, and then go down to the
area below the RGB, and copy and paste the code in the box (highlighted in
yellow below), then go to BRAVO!, Graphics, the select click on the color you
want to change, in the example below we are changing the Primary Color, in the
pop up, paste (Ctrl-V) the code. Then touch the large color swatch to close and
the color will now be applied to the game board. Give it a try, go to Graphics, and
click on Primary Colors, and type in or copy and paste: 990000.

Once imported, the image will appear in the upper left hand corner of the game screen.
The size should be 250 x 75 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG. See image
1.a below, to see how this will appear in the game player.
Advanced User: Because you can use SWF and GIF files, you can also add
animated logos to your game board. To give your logo or image a cleaner look,
consider creating a PNG file, allowing the colored background of the game board
to show through (no box). You can also make the logo a clickable link as well
(SWF).
PNG vs. SWF: Even though both file formats will work, anytime you can use a
vector image (made in Flash), the image will be crisper.
Load Custom Stage Background (4 ) : You can load your own custom image as a
The image will appear in the upper left hand corner of the game screen. The size should
be 616 x 417 pixels and can be a SWF, JPG, GIF, or PNG, or FLV. This image will
appear as the game board first opens. You can use the default animation that comes
with the game, or you can create your own animation.

add animated intro screens. If you are going to use video, we suggest using FLV
as your file format. It will run smoother both offline and on the internet.
Advanced User: Consider using your logo or image and saving it as a PNG file and
dropping the opacity to 25 percent. This will make your image subtle, but visible. You
may choose to experiment with the opacity to best meet your needs.

mode) the player may print out a certificate at the end of a game, to show completion of
the game. For this to work, the teams must be set to one, and the Prompt for number
of Teams needs to be un-checked.
Pause for Categories (8 ): When selected, this will pause each category as it is
introduced. This may be desirable for a classroom setting, where an instructor may want
to elaborate on each category. For an online game, it is recommended to leave this
unchecked.
Rig Wheel (9 ): When enabled, this will go through the categories in numerical order.
When a new game is opened the categories are numbered 1-10. The game will follow
that order.
Don't subtract points on an incorrect answer (10 ): When checked, the game will
only use correct answers for the points. Incorrect answers will not apply against a player
or team.
What happens after a question is answered (11 ): After each question, you can set
up the game to have 3 options:
1. Go to Next Question: This, when selected, cause the game to drill down until
you go through all of the questions within a category (recommended setting).
2. Return to the Wheel: This option, when selected, will take you back to the wheel
after each question.
3. Prompt user to choose: This will provide an option, after each question, for the
end user to choose.

Enable Timers (12 )There are 2 options for timers in the game that can be used when
this feature is enabled.
How many seconds allowed to answer a question? (13 ): You can choose
how many seconds you want to give a team to answer a question. When using
multiple players, the game will give the instructor a chance to ignore the "Time's
up" or accept it and it will be counted as an incorrect answer.
How many seconds before teams can ring in? (14 ) If you are using a ring-in
device (like the slammers, that tie into the software), you can choose a set time
that will prevent the slammers from working. This feature gives the instructor time
to read a question. A good number to choose for this feature is 8-15 seconds.
But, you may want to experiment with this. If a team does attempt to ring in prior
to the timer set time, the game will lock out that team for 3 seconds. You can
unlock the timer at anytime during a game by selecting the L key on your
keyboard.
Percent Required to Pass (15 ): this feature is for single player mode only. This sets a
winning score threshold. For this to work, the teams must be set to one, and the
Prompt for number of Teams needs to be un-checked.

6.10 Playing Spin Off ( Game Player )
Playing Spin Off Instructions
Launching your game: You can launch the game either by clicking on the
Preview button in the BRAVO! game builder or by clicking on the Play.exe (on a PC) or
the Play (on a Mac) in any game folder.
Making changes in your game: When a game is launched, you may have some
options for making changes (depending on what you enabled in the game builder) to the
number of players and customizing the avatars. Any changes made on the player side
will not be saved. If you want to have changes saved in a game, you must make them in
the builder.
When Spin Off is first launched in the classroom:

1. The Intro screen, if enabled, will show up first. You can disable this, under
Settings in the game builder.
2. You will be asked to choose how many teams you want (if Prompt for number
of teams is enabled in the game builder under Teams)
3. The next screen, (1) will give you options, like changing out the avatars, and (2)
renaming the teams. If you are not seeing these options in the game
builder, then check in BRAVO! under Teams to see if you have these options
enabled.
Please note, you can skip many of these options, like prompt for number of teams, team
name, and allow character selection during game, by disabling them in the Teams set
up area in the builder. This will eliminate the setup, allowing you to jump into your
game.
Slammers/Ring-in Device: When using slammers , the game will allow who ever rang
in first to answer. Each question is then answered by who rings in first.

(1) Score for each team. Click on score, below each team, to change score manually.
(2) Category Name.
(3) Represents the number of questions in each category.

(4) Click on the SPIN button to spin the wheel.
(5) By clicking on the gears, you can either deactivate your player license or end the
game. When ending the game, you will be taken to the final question (if enabled),
or scores will be tallied, and a winner announced.
(6) Mute audio.

(7) Quit game
Question Interface

(6): This shows you the game timer, which may include a read-timer, allowing you to
read your questions (if using slammers). To end time manually, click on the timer and it
will stop the countdown.
(7): This lock icon indicates a read timer is enabled, allowing the instructor to read a
question and preventing teams from ringing in with slammers. When the icon shows
locked, teamsare locked out from ringing in. When unlocked, teams can ring in without
being penalized. If a team does ring in too early, they will be locked out for 3 seconds.
Click here to learn more.
(8): The Question Intro will only show up if you have content in your Preview screen. If
you do, you have the option of showing the Preview screen again.
(9): This shows the point value for the question.
(10): This is where your question will appear.
(11): This is where your answers will appear.
