🌐Creating Multiple Choice Scenarios
Design branching scenario trees with options, sub-options, and tailored starting prompts.
Use New Adventure for quick play, Quick Start for ready made genre based starts, My Scenarios to manage your creations, and New Scenario when you want to build a reusable story setup. In Scenario Basics, choose the right Scenario Type, add a cover image, write a clear title and description, select a content rating, and add helpful tags before moving forward.
Creating Scenarios and Adventures
The Create section is where you start new Adventures, build Scenarios, open existing creations, or begin a new discussion. It is designed to give players a fast way to start playing while also giving creators a structured path for building reusable story setups.
From this area, you can start a blank Adventure, choose a Quick Start template, manage your own Scenarios, or create a new Scenario from scratch.
Create Overview
The Create screen gives you several ways to begin.
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| New Adventure | Starts a blank story or lets you begin from a template |
| Quick Start | Provides ready made genre based starting points |
| My Scenarios | Lets you view, publish, and manage your created Scenarios |
| History | Opens previous creation or play activity |
| New Scenario | Starts the Scenario creation flow |
| New Discussion | Starts a conversation about a story |
This makes the Create area useful for both players and creators. Players can quickly begin an Adventure, while creators can build structured Scenarios for others to play.
New Adventure
New Adventure is the fastest way to begin a new story. It lets you start with a blank Adventure or use a ready made template. This option is useful when you do not want to build a full Scenario first and simply want to start playing right away. A new Adventure can be used for quick storytelling, testing ideas, experimenting with genres, or beginning a fresh roleplay session.
Quick Start
Quick Start gives you ready made story directions so you can begin faster without writing everything manually. Quick Start options can include Fantasy Quest, Sci Fi, Mystery, Romance, Horror, and Medieval.
Each option gives the Adventure a different tone and starting direction. For example, Fantasy Quest is useful for swords, magic, and dragons, while Mystery is better for suspense and detective style stories. This helps players start with a theme immediately instead of building the full setup from zero.
My Scenarios
My Scenarios is where creators can view, publish, and manage the Scenarios they have created. A Scenario is different from a normal Adventure. An Adventure is usually a single play session or story experience, while a Scenario is a reusable setup that can be played again, shared, edited, or published. Use My Scenarios when you want to return to a Scenario you already created, update its details, publish it, or manage it later.
Create Menu
The Create menu gives two main creation options.
| Create Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
| New Scenario | Starts an interactive story Adventure setup |
| New Discussion | Starts a conversation about a story |
New Scenario is the main option for creators who want to build a structured experience. New Discussion is useful when the goal is conversation or discussion instead of starting a full Scenario setup.
New Scenario
New Scenario begins the Scenario creation process. This is where creators define the basic information players will see before starting. The creation flow is divided into steps, beginning with Scenario Basics. The progress indicator shows how many steps are required, such as 1 / 5, so creators can understand where they are in the setup process.
Scenario Basics
Scenario Basics is the first step of Scenario creation. It includes the basic information needed to identify and present your Scenario. These details help players understand what your Scenario is about before they begin. This step focuses on:
- Scenario type
- Cover image
- Title
- Description
- Content rating
- Tags
Scenario Type
Scenario Type controls how players begin the Scenario.
| Scenario Type | Player Experience |
|---|---|
| Direct Start | Players jump straight into the Adventure with no character creator setup |
| Character Creator | Players create a character first with details such as name, race, class, backstory, and more |
Choose Direct Start when you want players to begin immediately. This is best for simple stories, quick experiences, interactive fiction, romance, mystery, horror, or any Scenario where character setup is not required.
Choose Character Creator when the player’s identity matters to the story. This is better for RPG campaigns, fantasy adventures, class based stories, roleplay experiences, and Scenarios where character details should influence the Adventure.
Cover Image
The cover image is the main visual artwork for your Scenario. It helps players quickly understand the mood, genre, and style of your story. A strong cover image can make your Scenario look more polished and easier to recognize in discovery, profiles, or saved content areas.
Use a cover image that matches the theme of your Scenario. For example, a fantasy Scenario may use castles, magic, forests, dragons, or warriors, while a sci fi Scenario may use spaceships, planets, robots, or futuristic cities.
Title
The title is the name of your Scenario. A good title should be short, clear, and interesting. It should tell players what kind of experience they are about to start without being too confusing.
For example, a title like The Veil of Twilight sounds more memorable than a generic title like Fantasy Story.
Scenario Description
The description explains what your Scenario is about. This is where you give players a short preview of the world, conflict, mood, or starting idea. The description should be clear enough to help players decide whether they want to play.
A good description can mention the main theme, setting, danger, mystery, or emotional hook of the story. Keep it useful and readable instead of making it too long.
Content Rating
Content Rating tells players what type of content your Scenario may include.
| Rating | Best For |
|---|---|
| Everyone | Light and general stories suitable for most players |
| Teen | Stories with moderate fantasy violence, mild language, or mild romance |
| Mature | Stories with stronger themes or heavier content |
| Adult | Content intended only for adult users where allowed by platform rules |
Choose the rating carefully so players know what to expect. A correct rating also helps Questsmith show the Scenario to the right audience and keeps discovery more organized.
Tags
Tags help players find your Scenario through search and discovery. Tags should describe the genre, tone, theme, and major story elements. For example, a fantasy Scenario might use tags like adventure, magic, and quest. Good tags make your Scenario easier to find later and help players understand the type of story before opening it.
Direct Start vs Character Creator
| Use Direct Start When | Use Character Creator When |
|---|---|
| The story should begin immediately | The player needs to define a character first |
| The Scenario is mostly narrative focused | The Scenario is RPG focused |
| Character stats are not important | Class, race, backstory, or identity matters |
| You want a faster player experience | You want deeper roleplay setup |
