πŸ—ΊοΈ Story Architect build your own choose-your-own-adventure

Hi, Architect! πŸ‘‹

You're about to build a book where the reader picks what happens next. That makes you the architect β€” you design every path, door, and dead end.

Engineer secret: a choose-your-own-adventure is really a flowchart. Programmers call this a decision tree or a directed graph. Every scene is a node, every choice is an arrow pointing to the next node. You're building the same kind of map a video game uses to decide what happens when you press a button. Pretty cool job title for a 12-year-old. 😎

Work through the stops below in order. Each one teaches a piece, then sends you to do it. Tap a stop to open it. βœ… marks the ones you finish.

My Adventure

How scenes work: Scene #1 is always your beginning (gold). Write what happens, then add choices. Each choice is a door β€” point it to another scene by its number. A scene with no doors out is an ending. 🏁

πŸ—ΊοΈ Your Story Map

This is your architecture β€” the whole shape of your adventure at a glance. Boxes are scenes (with their numbers). Arrows are choices. Watch it grow as you add doors.

forward (to a new part) loop back (returns the reader) broken door (goes nowhere yet)

πŸ’‘ Reading the map: follow an arrow from a box to see where that choice sends the reader. Gold arrows are loops β€” they send readers back to a scene they already passed. That's how you let someone "go back and try the other door."

Stuck? Tap a button and steal an idea. These are sparks, not rules β€” twist them, mash them together, or ignore them. They work even with no internet. 🌡
