By empowering readers to choose what paths their stories took, it influenced a generation of future game designers, sold more than 270 million copies, and became one of the bestselling children’s book series of all time.” Choose Your Own Adventure is an inductee in The Strong’s World Video Game Hall of Fame for creating some of the first branching narrative video games.
