Choose-Your-Own-Adventure as a Graph

Sean Ragan created a visual map of his favorite choose-your-own-adventure book, The Mystery of Chimney Rock by Edward Packard (1979). In this directed graph, each page is a node and the arrows are page choices.

Link – Thanks Sean!

    I created a similar graph in the 7th grade from one of those books, probably Cave of Time? Only by the time I did it 5th and 6th grade books like Choose Your Own Adventure were no longer cool, so I thought I did something cool and was mocked like Martin Prince.

    interesting - i wrote a choose-your-own-adventure novel once, and the publisher made me create one of these to submit with the manuscript.

    Wow, going back some years : I did that too!, with squares though... little Gant diagrams for teenagers...

    I remember those books : litterature teachers were upset by their succes and there was a rumor that the books would develop scuicide among teens.
