Stories where your child decides what happens next

You read aloud, your child chooses. Every story has four endings, so the same tale lasts for several evenings.

  • 50 ready-made stories

    Dragons, diggers, penguins and astronauts. Calm ones for bedtime, or active ones for burning off energy.

  • A story about your child Premium

    Enter a name, a favourite toy and today's topic – a dentist visit, fear of the dark, a new sibling. In well under a minute you have a story written for this very evening.

  • For the hard days too

    A story can help with preschool, a hospital stay or moving house. Gently and honestly, with nothing scary.

  • Works offline

    Activities and stories live on your phone – in the forest, at a campsite or on a plane. You only need the internet to create a story about your child.

  • No accounts, no ads

    No sign-up, no email address, no ads. Pure utility.

  • No preparation

    Every activity uses what you already have at home. No shopping and no last-minute crafts.
