About this game

NEW! Play the Dictator's Laundromat by the Human Rights Foundation.

Why go on a boring old walk when you can be a secret agent?

Have you ever read a story and wish you could be in it? Calling the shots, helping the good guys (or bad), choosing your adventure?

EXPERIENCE WALKABLE ADVENTURES

Story City makes you the hero of your own story, giving you the chance to take part in adventures in cities across the world. Think Pokemon Go, but stories you can literally step into & live!

EXPLORE HUNDREDS STORIES BY LOCAL CREATORS

Each story only opens when you're in the right location and from the start point can either follow one path or branch off into dozens of different locations around the city (and which ones you visit will depend on the path you pick through the adventure).

Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, a musical journey or scavenger hunt, all stories on Story City are made by creators - writers, theatre makers, musicians, game designers, film makers or tours guides - who know their cities best.

EXPERIENCES FOR ALL INTERESTS: BE THE HERO OF A CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE, OR TAKE A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR

Will you explore Edmonton while running from a zombie apocalypse? How about cruising the Vancouver streets solving a series of mysterious puzzles? Will you brave a magical café run by fae creatures in Brisbane? Or will you pillage Austin looking for pirate supplies?

Perhaps you'll take a musical journey with a First Nations storyteller and drummer in Calgary, learn about your local non-profit in a social issues walk, or walk the Casa Loma district in Toronto with a popular podcaster as your tour guide.

It’s your adventure, so it’s up to you!

Ratings and reviews

I had a frustrating experience. The app kept freezing and needing to be restarted, but I couldn't log-in except when I was on wifi, so I couldn't restart the adventure while we were out on our excursion. Also, sometimes only some of the adventures would load, so even before we left the hotel I had to repeatedly restart the app.

Finally got reasons to get out of my room and explore my city. This is the whole new level of interactivity to walk and listen to voice acted stories and make choices. Not to mention the illustrations. Like audiobooks and interactive visual novels but better. Might make a story myself tbh.

Amazing experience that makes me fall in love with my city! Highly recommended
