Storysmash is a project aimed at engaging young people in creative story writing by developing their own computer games.
Run by Nottingham City Council's library and information service in partnership with Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature and The National Videogame Arcade (now the National Videogame Museum), the project has engaged more than 1,000 11- to 25-year-olds since its launch in 2017.
Storysmash uses the software known as Twine in the creation of stories in the project. The basic premise of Twine is that you begin with a particular scenario, and play the game by choosing various alternative options which lead you to different story paths, and eventually, different endings.
