Choose Your Own Adventure: The Retro Box from Chooseco

How the story ends is completely up to you!

Choose Your Own Adventure is the beloved gamebook series that lets you decide what happens next. Written from a second-person point of view, these interactive stories put you in control of the main character — where each decision leads to a different twist, turn, or surprise ending. With over 270 million copies sold between 1979 and 1998, the series quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. It’s been translated into more than 40 languages and remains the fourth bestselling children’s book series of all time, encompassing everything from original stories to team-ups with popular franchises like Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.

And now… they’re back – and just as much fun as you remember!

Introducing The Retro Box from Chooseco, the publishing house that brought Choose Your Own Adventure books back to print in 2006. This handsome collector’s set includes four of the most popular tales from authors Edward Packard, R.A. Montgomery, and D. Terman. You’ll explore mysterious caverns, plunge deep beneath the waves in search of Atlantis, blast off into outer space, and drift across the blazing Sahara – all from the comfort of your favourite reading spot!

Packaged inside a nostalgic 1980s-style gift box, you’ll find exclusive editions of The Cave of Time, Journey Under The Sea, Space and Beyond, and By Balloon to the Sahara — each brilliantly illustrated by Paul Granger. And, with up to 160 different paths to take, you could read each book 100 times and never get the same story twice. No two adventures are ever alike!

Perfect for readers aged 9-12, or adults who grew up immersed in these pulse-pounding page-turners, The Retro Box is a screen-free trip back in time and a fantastic way to introduce a new generation to the magic of interactive reading. Priced at 35.99 USD, pre-orders are available now and ship in September.

So…what will you choose?
