Dozens of minigames, three moods

Stories take a few minutes to render. Instead of staring at a spinner, Storywish surfaces a built-in minigame library while you wait.

Action-packed

Bonk (paddle-and-bricks), Crumble Toss (flick crumpled paper into baskets), Snake, Floppy Bird, Pong, Wall Ball (trap bouncing balls with walls you draw), Jet Wings (co-op shoot-em-up), and Poodle Jump. Short, punchy, easy to pick up.

Cozy and relaxing

Fluid Fun (touch-driven fluid simulation), Paint (blank canvas or trace a character), Sandbox (sand and water with walls you draw yourself), Make Melodies (compose and download your own songs), Tear the Cloth (pull, stretch, and slice physics cloth), and Dive Bird (hold to dive, release to soar over rolling hills).

Make you think

Memory Match (pairs of your character cards), Block Bars (drop shapes onto a grid), Jigsaw Puzzle (your story's characters as the puzzle), Dots and Boxes, Word Search (find your characters' names in the grid), and Tic Tac Toe.

Two players, one device

Most of the library (including Bonk, Memory Match, Crumble Toss, Snake, Floppy Bird, Pong, Jet Wings, Dots and Boxes, Tic Tac Toe, and more) exposes a 1 Player / 2 Players chooser. Hand one side of the device to your kid and play together while the story finishes generating.

Sandbox simulations

Sandbox, Fluid Fun, and Tear the Cloth double as physics playgrounds. Kids draw walls, watch sand pile up, swirl liquids around, pull apart cloth, and learn cause-and-effect through open-ended play.

Quietly educational

Memory (Memory Match), spatial reasoning (Jigsaw, Block Bars, Word Search), strategy (Dots and Boxes, Tic Tac Toe), creative drawing and music (Paint, Make Melodies), and timing + coordination (the action titles), all kid-friendly, with no curriculum forced on top.

Or browse around while you wait

You don't have to play a minigame. You can also explore other characters, read public stories from the community, or favorite stories for later. Storywish keeps generating in the background and pings you when your story is ready.
