Play The Great Gatsby — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1925

A summer of impossible parties across the bay from a green light. Play Nick and watch Gatsby reach for a past that won't come back — or play Gatsby yourself and decide, drink by drink, whether the dream is worth the wreck it's driving toward.

A moment from one playthrough

In the sweltering suite at the Plaza, Tom throws it on the table: he knows where Gatsby's money comes from, and Daisy's eyes are darting between the two of you. Gatsby demands she say she never loved Tom. The air conditioning rattles and fails. Make Daisy choose right now, or pull Gatsby back before he breaks the only thing he wants?

Live The Great Gatsby, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of The Great Gatsby, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps F. Scott Fitzgerald'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 F. Scott Fitzgerald's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of The Great Gatsby 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.
