Looking for Twine games (ideally) that are appropriate for 10-16 year olds. Bonus points if it has an interesting/fun story or showcases some of the cool stuff that can be done with this medium. Thanks! :)

"For teens familiar with escape rooms" [+]"For teens familiar with escape rooms: If they've done escape rooms, this could be an intro to IF with a puzzle style they're familiar with. The journal entries that you have to pore over for information might be a little dense for some tweens, but I think the writing level ought to be fine for teens." ( - Full review) --EJ...

This was the game they kept returning to again and again to see how the code was written, and introduce similar elements to their own games. The kids loved it." --Doug Egan...
