How the story ends is entirely up to you!
Choose Your Own Adventure is the beloved gamebook series that puts you in charge of what happens next. Written in the second person, these interactive stories place you at the centre of the action, where every decision leads to a different twist, turn, or surprise ending. With over 270 million copies sold between 1979 and 1998, the series became a global phenomenon. It has been translated into more than 40 languages. It also remains the fourth bestselling children’s book series of all time, spanning everything from original stories to crossovers 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 revived the Choose Your Own Adventure series in 2006. This new collector’s set features four of the most popular stories from authors Edward Packard, R.A. Montgomery, and D. Terman. You’ll explore mysterious caverns, search for Atlantis beneath the waves, blast off into outer space, and drift across the blazing Sahara, all from the comfort of your favourite reading spot!
Packaged in a nostalgic 1980s-style gift box, the set includes exclusive editions of The Cave of Time, Journey Under The Sea, Space and Beyond, and By Balloon to the Sahara, each newly illustrated by Paul Granger. With up to 160 different possible paths to explore, you could read each book 100 times and never get the same story twice. No two adventures are ever the same.
Perfect for readers aged 9 to 12, or for adults who grew up with these pulse-pounding page-turners, The Retro Box offers a screen-free trip back in time. It’s also a great way to introduce a new generation to the magic of interactive reading. Priced at 35.99 USD, pre-orders are available now and will ship in September.
