Overview

Choose your own adventure and interactive stories are some of the most popular use-cases for Alexa - and voice experiences in general. In this template, we breakdown the process of taking your story from script to interactive experience.

In this template, you'll learn:

  • The basics of the speak, choice and audio steps
  • How to complete a "chapter" using a question, choice, and outcome
  • How to edit and add new conversation paths
  • End-to-end testing of your experience

Learn how to combine speak blocks, different text-to-speech (TTS) voices, and choice blocks to create dynamic, repeatable paths for your end-user to explore within your story. Create complex narratives, add custom audio and earcons, and re-create your own story from this wicked space adventure.
