Play Gulliver's Travels — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by Jonathan Swift, 1726

Wash ashore a giant in Lilliput and a doll in Brobdingnag. Douse palace fires, dodge court intrigues six inches tall, debate philosopher-horses — and decide, island by island, what you still admire about mankind.

A moment from one playthrough

You wake on the beach unable to move — a thousand silk threads across your chest, and a procession of men the size of your finger marching up your sleeve with tiny bows drawn. One climbs to your chin and declaims something official. Lie still and listen, or sneeze?

Live Gulliver's Travels, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of Gulliver's Travels, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps Jonathan Swift's world true to the original — its characters, its places, its mood, all held as canon — then narrates every scene aloud and draws the moment you're in as an ink illustration. You type or speak what you do next, and the world answers: it remembers the promises you made, the things you took, and the people you crossed. Follow Jonathan Swift's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of Gulliver's Travels unfold — one that still reaches a real ending.

How it works

The Storyteller holds the world of the book as canon — its characters, places and mood — and opens with you as the hero.
Type or speak anything: the world reacts, remembers, and stays true to the original's spirit.
Every playthrough is a brand-new story. Follow the plot — or break it and see what happens.
