Before computer games were a thing, the 1980s saw a surge in the ‘choose your own adventure’ genre of adventure books. These were aimed at teenagers and allowed them to choose a path through the story to change the ending. Many of these books are still available on sites like Playopoly, but here are the best choose your own adventure books of all time.
The Mystery of Chimney Rock by Edward Packard
This is one of a series of books written by Packard. It features a group of teenagers who visit a spooky house when they shouldn’t. It has a cartoon vibe to it, and the choices available give a good variation to the story. It is also one of the few adventurer books that gives you the option to not go on an adventure at all.
The Gateway of Doom by J. H. Brennan
King Arthur’s realm is the backdrop to this book. As a young farm boy/girl, you go on adventures set by the Wizard Merlin. You have a junior Excalibur sword and meet snakes, gorillas and many other monsters on the way. The books are not too heavy, and even parody this type of story on occasions.
The Amazing Spider-Man: City in Darkness by Jeff Grubb
On Playopoly you may even find this book featuring the superhero Spider-Man. This book is well written and gives the reader different points of view such as the villain. This makes it an interesting read, and one of the better examples.
Check out the library at Playopoly for more books of this type.
