Young storytellers, gamers, coders, writers and artists are working together to devise, write, illustrate and publish an interactive fantasy gamebook, both in print and online.

We worked with 63 young people aged 11 – 19 from 3 schools to support them to create an interactive, illustrated gamebook for tablet and smartphone. Young people took part in plotting, writing, illustrating, app design and coding workshops. Young people worked with professional writers, illustrators, musicians and developers. The final game is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
