New platform offers screen-free, choice-driven stories designed to boost engagement, literacy, and independent thinking
San Diego, CA — December 31, 2025 — InteractiveGameBooks.com, a newly launched online destination, is now live with a singular mission: to make hundreds of high-quality interactive game books easily accessible to children and young adults, offering an immersive alternative to passive screen-based entertainment.
Interactive Game Books curates a growing library of decision-based stories—often known as interactive or choose-your-own-adventure game books—that place readers at the center of the narrative. Instead of simply reading along, users make choices that shape the plot, encouraging active participation, sustained attention, and repeat reading.
“At a time when parents and educators are deeply concerned about screen fatigue and declining attention spans, we wanted to build something that puts agency back in the hands of young readers,” said Gregory Simonds, Chief Curator at Interactive Game Books. “decision based books” don’t just tell a story—they invite kids and young adults to think, decide, and explore consequences in a way that feels personal and exciting.”
The platform addresses several challenges faced by families and educators:
- Low reading engagement among reluctant or struggling readers
- Overreliance on screens for entertainment
- Limited access to interactive, decision-based books in one centralized place
Key features of InteractiveGameBooks.com include:
- A curated collection of hundreds of interactive game books for children and young adults
- Age-appropriate categories that help parents and educators quickly find suitable content
- Screen-free storytelling that encourages imagination, problem-solving, and critical thinking
