Root: an interactive story

Meet Molly Root, geek heroine on the most dangerous of missions.

Her best friend has been murdered, revealing his secret life as a notorious hacker, and suspicion falls on a corporation with shady secrets to hide. Teenage computer expert Molly must recruit a highly-skilled team to help her solve the mystery – before it’s too late…

Do you have the brilliant brain and code-solving cunning to help them? If so, join us in our first ever adventure in live interactive fiction.

From 24 October we will publish a new chapter of Root every day for six weeks. But along the way you can influence the story by solving mysteries, foiling plans and eavesdropping into conversations.
