Playing a Story

Twine allows you to play a story from the application. This can be helpful if you'd like someone to play your story on your own computer before publishing it, or to see exactly what people will see when playing your story once it's published.

You can play a story from both the Story Library and Story Map screens.

  • In the Story Library screen, select the story, then choose Play from the Build top toolbar tab.
  • In the Story Map screen, choose Play from the Build top toolbar tab.

The address you see in your web browser while playing a game launched from Twine will only work for you and your computer. It will not work for other people. To share your story with other people, you will need to publish it.
