Have Questions?
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions
-
How long can I access book one with my purchase?Once you purchase, you’ll have lifetime access to Book One through our online audio streaming. Just log into your account anytime to listen.
-
What ages are best for this content?This is a true family adventure—fun for parents and kids alike. The interactive elements are especially tuned for kids ages 4 to 10, but the story itself is designed to be enjoyed together, no matter your age.
-
Is it hard to listen to? How do I access the story?Not at all! Just log into your account, go to your dashboard, and click the link to the Book One Player. You can stream the full story right from your phone, tablet, or computer—anytime, anywhere.
-
How do the interactions work? Is this like a 'choose your own adventure'?Not exactly. The story doesn’t change based on what you say—instead, it invites kids to interact at key moments by saying something out loud or choosing between options. Think of it like Dora the Explorer: your child hears a prompt, responds out loud, and becomes part of the adventure. Parents are encouraged to join in too—it’s more fun together!
-
Is this going to scare my kids? Is it scary?No—it’s not scary or violent. The story is full of high adventure and explores meaningful themes like courage, teamwork, and character. Some moments are intense, but everything is age-appropriate and thoughtfully crafted. It’s designed in the spirit of classic kids’ storytelling—like the best of the 1980s—where the stakes feel real, but the heart is always in the right place.
-
Is this a standalone book or part of a bigger series?Book One is just the start. The Great Adventure Club is designed to grow with your child—something they can enjoy at age 4 or 5 and continue exploring for years. We’re building an immersive world with more books, stories, and interactive experiences to come. This is only the first chapter of the adventure.
