Adventure stories follow child heroes who chase a problem: finding something lost, solving a mystery, racing against time. On Kitapz the reader runs the adventure; at each choice point the child picks the path, and different choices lead to different endings.
The stories are short (most take 8-15 minutes), illustrated, and can be read with reading support such as a dyslexia-friendly font. Free stories open without an account.
