What is this? Design Your Destiny: Running Out of Time is an interactive time travel story, multiple games and an activity book all wrapped up in one package. Throughout the story you’ll be asked to play a game using included components, but each game will be broken in some way. The book then provides insights and guidance on ways you could fix these problems. You’ll be asked to implement your own ideas and playtest your version of these games as you try to help our main characters through their story.
Read the Story:
Charlie and Natalie are chased by guards and some agents as they run around this futuristic city. They need to figure out a way to fix their time machine to get them back home. The story is humorous and action-packed and it has great characters and a fun plot! Amazing full page images accompany many of the chapters with art by Allan Ohr.
Fix the Games:
Every couple of chapters you’ll get to play a game as the main characters, Charlie and Natalie. But the games are broken and you’ll be guided on ways to fix each game.
Create new games:
After you play each game, you’ll notice that something wasn’t fun about the experience. It might be lack of player decision, or one player having an unfair advantage. The book then guides you on ways to fix these problems. At the start, the book really holds your hand and guides you, but it’s still up to you on how you want to fix it
