VoiceTale

Every great told tale has a shape and a voice. Build the 5-beat arc, coach how a tale is told, and learn the craft with Bramble and friends.

Practice the craft

Two hands-on ways to think like a storyteller — build a tale’s shape, then coach how it’s told. A hint appears whenever you get stuck.

Build the 5-Beat Arc Tap the scrambled beats of a little tale into order: hook → setup → rising → turn → close. Coach the Delivery For a moment in a tale, pick the strongest delivery: the pause, the volume, the pacing, where the turn lands.

Play together

A pass-and-play storytelling face-off for the whole family — or an online room with friends.

Voice Duel (2–4 players + online room) Take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins.

Story Concepts

Short rounds about storytelling craft — from the hook to the refrain to where oral storytelling comes from. Your progress stays on this device.

Mixed practice — revisit what you’ve learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you’ve played, brought back when they’re ready to review. Great for making it stick. VoiceTale Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Voice Quest — follow the map → A path through all 16 kits. Clear each stop, then move on — see how far you’ve come.
