Description
A mobile app for the facilitation of collaborative storytelling among young adults. Users form or join groups that are tagged according to different fictional genres in order to experience worlds of their own creation. Possible contributions within each group session include the written word, drawings, photographs, and video. Each user plays the role of a character they create for themselves specifically for the group’s story. This positive creative interaction between users helps them become more confident in themselves and their ideas.
Mission
To facilitate tales waiting to be told between young hearts and minds.
Vision
Make every young adult aware of their ability to be creators and have them collaborate freely with others.
