Choose your own adventure videos

I still remember those "Choose your own adventure books" I used to read in my childhood. For those who have never heard about them, these kind of books are not lineal nor static like almost all books, they are completely interactive and the reader gets involved in the story by taking some decisions that will make him get to different endings. At the end of a page or chapter you are asked what to do and you can choose from different options: if you want to do x go to page 35, if you prefer doing z go to page 67 and if you don't want to do x nor z go to page 89. Depending on your decisions you could end up finding some valuable gems, getting married with a pretty princess or dead.

Now, this type of stories have gone one step beyond and moved from the paper to the digital world. Actually, you can find great "Choose your own adventure videos" on Youtube based on the option of putting clickable links inside the display screen of a video. Here you have a list of the top 3 "Choose your own adventure videos:

1. The Time Machine: A Chad, Matt & Rob Interactive Adventure!



2. Haircut (a choose-your-own-adventure song)



3.Choose Your Own Adventure with Hard Left: The Beginning
