Choice-driven audiobooks for real walks

Your walk sets the pace. Your choices change the story.

Put your headphones on and choose how long you want to walk. Booka Ducka Ding Dong fits a branching audiobook to the route, then saves the ending for replay.

How it works

Three things happen when you start a story.

The phone handles the map, timing and narration. You keep walking.

01

Choose the walk

Pick a walk length and a return-to-start or one-way route. The app prepares a real walking route from where you are.

02

Walk, and listen

Scenes are paced against the route. A choice waits until the route and the current scene are ready.

03

Choose what changes

Tap the direction you want when a decision arrives. Movement stays a beta; buttons stay available.

Inside the beta

One real quest. Plenty left to learn.

The current iPhone build is in one-person internal testing. Finished audio, route fit and movement choices still need real-walk verification.

Make your own

15–60 min story walks

Choose genre, mood, prose style, stakes, audience, perspective, voice and controls—or ask the app to decide.

Keep it

A library with receipts

Completed stories preserve your choices and route summary. Downloaded narration can be replayed offline.

One turn, two consequences

The route does not sit beside the story. It plays a part.

When a choice commits, the beta retires the old route, finds a legal walking route from where you are, keeps the original loop finish and retimes the scenes ahead.

Field notes, not launch claims

The awkward bits are the point of the beta.

Build 9 is testing live rerouting after a choice, story timing at different walking speeds, 0.75–2× playback, optional hold ambience, local pace learning and downloaded replay. Apple has processed it for internal TestFlight; a complete physical Build 9 walk is still pending.

The Creator Suite is a browser-local workspace for planning, writing, checking, and privately rehearsing a branching story built for a walk. Nothing is uploaded or published, and submissions are not open yet.
