For Families

Twisty Town is a free, ad-free storytelling world for kids Pre-K through 5th grade. Four areas to explore — writing, reading adventures, stories, and videos — all designed to make literacy feel like play.

What Kids Do Here

🎲

Spin & Write Stories The Storyspinner gives kids random characters, settings, and plot twists, then they write (or draw\!) a story from those ingredients. It adapts to every grade level — drawing for the little ones, structured writing for older kids.

📚

Choose Their Own Adventures StoryQuests are interactive stories where every choice leads somewhere different. Nine themed adventures (dinosaurs, superheroes, space, and more) that build reading skills while kids steer the story.

📖

Read Original Stories The Library has original illustrated books featuring Mr. Twisty's characters — Hurricane Shea, Little Lily & Eddie, Penny the Wunderdog. Great for reading together or letting kids explore independently.

📺

Watch & Listen The Treehouse has read-alouds, sing-alongs, and Mr. Twisty's show. Perfect for quiet time, a brain break, or just fun.

Tips for Home

Start at the front door: Go to twistytown.com and let your child explore. There's something for every mood — writing, reading, watching, or just browsing the Library.

StoryQuests are great for car rides: They work on phones and tablets. Let your child pick an adventure and make choices on the go.

Treehouse for wind-down: The read-alouds and sing-alongs are perfect for quiet time before bed or after school.

Read together: Open the Library on a tablet and share a story. The books are illustrated and kid-friendly.

Print and display: In the Storyspinner, the "Print My Story" button creates a clean page with their story, drawings, and any badges earned. Fridge-worthy\!
