Transform over a thousand classic books into choose-your-own-adventure games using Playbrary and artificial intelligence (AI). Playbrary works with the free version of ChatGPT, reviewed here to generate interactive game choices using over one thousand books. Create games in one of two ways: use the "Play With Our Prompt Generator" link to select one of the books in the dropdown list, such as Jane Eyre and The Jungle Book, and choose "Generate." Follow the prompts in ChatGPT to play the interactive game. Use the "Play Now" link to select from a more extensive library of books on Playbrary and begin the choose-your-own-adventure game. After playing the game, players can borrow a digital version of their book. Always verify the accuracy of information shared when using AI tools.

In the Classroom

Engage students while reading and learning about classic novels using Playbrary's interactive features. For example, before reading a book, ask students to participate in the choose-your-own-adventure to get an introduction to the characters and settings of the story. Have students compare different story outcomes in the game to the actual story outcomes using tools available on Figjam, reviewed here. Visit the Figjam community to find several templates for your book study by searching for literature, such as a literature study template and a character trait study template. Extend learning using additional AI tools for educators, such as Twee, reviewed here and MagicSchool, reviewed here to generate additional book-related activities such as character analysis guides and project-based learning activities.
