General

Lock Label: When adding a Genial.ly Lock, go to the general lock settings to give it a name, or label. This is for your own reference while editing.

You can add the lock either by URL, Selecting if from the library after uploading, or selecting from VSHtml.

Set Points: You can set points individually for the lock here.

Location: Your Sequence Lock must be assigned to a general location, such as a tag, polygon, or VS video.

Settings

Lock Pop-Up Can Be Closed 

This means that the lock can be closed without being solved.

Multiple Attempts

Define how many attempts the user can get to solve the lock.

Timer Enabled

This is separate from the main Timer of the experience, as you can set limits for individual locks.

Experience Ending Lock 

Toggle this setting on if it is the lock that you would like to end the experience once completed.

Design and Sound

Design: You can choose if you'd like there to be a confetti effect when users answer the lock.

Sound: Here you can decide if you'd like a sound to play when the user either succeeds or fails in solving the lock. You can also play a 'Final' sound effect. 

You can upload the sound as an MP3 file into the platform. The maximum file size for Growth is 10MB and 20MB for Business and Enterprise.

You can assign hints to your locks individually here. 

Hint Label refers to the name that you would like to call your hint. This is internal.

1'st hint: You can set the first hint for the Genial.ly Lock as either text, a JPEG/PNG image, or a video. You can also define how many seconds it will take for the hint to unlock and how many points will be deducted if the hint is used.

2'nd hint: You can enable a second hint if necessary, according to the same functionality as the first.

Solution: Your final hint can be the solution to the lock, defined according to the same functionality as the first two hints.
