How It Works

❦

From a name and a genre to a story they will never forget. Here is exactly what happens.

Step One

Tell us who it's for.

Every story begins with a person. When you place your order, you tell us the name of your recipient exactly as you would like it to appear. That is all we need to make the story feel like it was written for them and no one else. You can also include your own name to sign the gift, or a short personal note to include when you share it. Both are entirely optional.

Whatever name you enter is precisely how it will read throughout the story. So if you type "Grandma Jo," the story will say "Grandma Jo" at every turn.
Step Two

Choose their adventure.

We offer six distinct genres, each with its own tone, setting, and spirit. A sweeping Grand Adventure for the person who dreams of faraway places. A Cozy Mystery for the one who loves a slow reveal. A Heartwarming Tale for someone who needs to feel seen. Browse all six on our genre page and choose the world that fits them best. Not sure? Our Examples page gives you a taste of what each story feels like before you decide.

Each genre is a complete, original story. Your recipient gets to make choices along the way that shape what they discover, making every reading feel personal and alive.

Step Three

We personalize it.

The moment your order is placed, your story is prepared. Your recipient's name is woven throughout, placing them at the center of every scene, every clue, and every moment of discovery. The story reads as though it was written specifically for them, because in every meaningful way, it was. No waiting around. No back and forth. It happens instantly.

Step Four

Share it your way.

Your story arrives as a private link and a QR code, both sent directly to your email. From there, the gift is entirely in your hands. Text them the link. Tuck the QR code into a birthday card. Show them on your phone over dinner. Email it with a note. The story works on any device, in any browser, with nothing to download and no account required. You choose the moment. We handle everything else.

The story link is private and permanent. Your recipient can return to it as many times as they like, on any device.
