Overview

The Breakroom Image Viewer allows you to upload static images—including your company logo, informational signage, and event branding or advertising—and display them almost anywhere in your world. You can also create clickable images that will direct users to a webpage.

For help installing the Breakroom Image Viewer, please see our Region Editor documentation.

Tips for best performance

• The Breakroom Image Viewer will automatically adjust its dimensions to match the aspect ratio of the image displayed on it. As a result, you may find that a finished image panel cuts through the floor of your region, or is otherwise too large or small for its intended purpose. You can use the Region Editor to adjust the position, rotation, and scale of the image viewer as needed.

• To resize an image viewer while maintaining the proper aspect ratio, hold down the Shift key while dragging the scaling gizmo. This will allow you to make the image viewer larger or smaller without distorting the image.

• Images have a 5MB size limit. We recommend that image files used for signage or decorative purposes be no longer than 1024 pixels along one side.

Overview

The Breakroom Games system allows you to fill your regions with activities and minigames that your users can complete for points. The system includes several required and optional components, which can be combined in order to:

• Encourage and reward exploration

• Create obstacle courses and scavenger hunts

• Host trivia competitions

• Foster engagement with social media

In order for the Breakroom Games components to work, you will need to place them in your region and edit their features using the . The instructions provided below presume an advanced working knowledge of Breakroom. Please consult our documentation if you need help and virtual objects, or editing the .

Introduction to the Breakroom Games components

Before we walk through a sample Breakroom Games installation, it’s important to identify the individual system components and describe how they work.

Leaderboard

The Breakroom Games Leaderboard object displays the ten highest scores for a single game in the region, as well as the individual viewer’s personal score. A single game can consist of one or more activity and minigame objects (e.g. a Leaderboard may show scores for a single Trivia object, or it may show the combined scores for ten separate Clickable objects set up for a scavenger hunt).

Setting up the Leaderboard object

1. Open the Region Editor by clicking the Edit Region button at the bottom of your screen.

3. In the Objects window, locate the Breakroom Games Leaderboard object you want to edit. (Tip: You can use the search field at the top of the window to search for a specific object.) Click on the object name to launch the Inspector window.

Each Breakroom Games Leaderboard object you set up will track points for a single game. It is important to emphasize that a single game can consist of one or more activity and minigame objects. You can set up multiple leaderboards within a region, all tracking the same game (for ease of reference) or tracking different games.

For example, you may wish to set up a leaderboard to track a clickable scavenger hunt in one section of your region, and a leaderboard to track trivia points in a pub on the other side of the region. To differentiate these games, you might enter the name Scavenger Hunt into the game objects and leaderboards associated with the hunt, and the name Trivia into the game objects and leaderboards associated with the trivia.

Using the Leaderboard object

To use the Breakroom Games Leaderboard, simply look at it. You will see the top ten scores for the minigame the leaderboard is set up to track, as well as your personal score in the top right corner.

Taskboard

The Breakroom Games Taskboard object shows all activity and minigame objects associated with a single game, sorted by name and category, and indicates whether the individual viewer has completed those activities. The Taskboard also contains administrative control buttons for resetting and reloading game and user data.

Trivia participants

Within the timeframe specified by the Quizmaster, all trivia participants are permitted to answer the active trivia question.

Sample Breakroom Games region walkthrough

Now that we understand the different Breakroom Games system components and how they work together, let's take a look at some sample games set up in a region.

When a user looks at the Leaderboard object, they will see the ten highest scores for the game. Their own score is displayed on the ribbon located in the top right-hand corner, even if their name doesn't appear in the top ten list.

All of the activity and minigame objects listed on the Taskboard object, as well as the associated Leaderboard object, have Upward Con specified as their object Game property. This game name is what ties the objects together, ensuring that they work as a unit.

It is important to note that some Breakroom Games objects allow you to enter an activity name as well as a game name. Here you can see that for the statue clickable, the Game property is set to Upward Con. However, the Name property is set to Find Our Logo Statue. This activity name appears on the Taskboard object, so users can more easily understand the steps they need to take to complete an activity.

To help keep things organized, it's important to remember that you can customize any object's Display Name in the Inspector window. This can make it easier to locate and search for objects in the Objects window. Here, for example, we can see that the two trivia rewards are named "Breakroom Games Reward Trivia" and "Breakroom Games Reward Trivia 2," respectively. The Leaderboard and Taskboard objects also have Trivia appended to their Display Names, making them easy to recognize.

Notice that both trivia Reward objects have their Game property set to Trivia Night, and both have been set up to award points for reaching a certain point threshold. This, of course, is completely optional, and rewards may simply be standalone achievements.
