Play The Wind in the Willows — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by Kenneth Grahame, 1908

Mess about in boats with Ratty, winter with Badger, and try — just try — to keep Mr. Toad away from motor-cars. A gentle riverbank life, until Toad Hall is seized by stoats and someone has to take it back.

A moment from one playthrough

Toad has spotted another motor-car. His eyes glaze, his paws tremble, and he whispers 'poop-poop' in a way you know all too well. The garage door is unlocked. Block his path, or let this happen and plan the rescue?

Live The Wind in the Willows, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of The Wind in the Willows, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps Kenneth Grahame'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 Kenneth Grahame's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of The Wind in the Willows 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.
