Catherine the Great
Write Your Own History(TM) Catherine the Great
An Interactive Adventure for Young Readers (Ages 7-15)
You are Catherine the Great, but not yet.
For now, you are Sophie, a teenage German princess arriving in Russia, surrounded by a language you barely speak, customs you do not understand, and a court already deciding whether you belong.
Learn Russian. Adapt to a new faith. Earn the respect of Empress Elizabeth. Get to know the strange young Peter, whose fascination with soldiers may be hiding something far more extraordinary.
Will you become the Catherine history remembers? Or will you follow a very different path through the palace?
Meet a mysterious woman with a silver fan. Follow threads that seem to connect people and their futures. Step behind a curtain and discover a hidden fortress where Peter's tiny soldiers can march, speak, and think for themselves. Accept their strange gifts, earn their trust, or discover just how powerful the smallest allies can become.
Beyond the magic, another challenge waits.
Russia is watching you. Every new word, friendship, custom, and decision brings Sophie closer to becoming Catherine, or sends her toward a future history never recorded.
Rewrite history as you make decisions for
Catherine the Great
In Write Your Own History(TM), you make the decisions.
Some paths follow Catherine's true journey as she learns the Russian language, embraces her new country, becomes Catherine Alexeyevna, marries Peter, and begins the remarkable transformation from foreign princess to one of Russia's most famous rulers.
Others imagine what might have been, where enchanted objects hold impossible powers, mysterious figures offer dangerous choices, and an army small enough to fit on a table can change the fate of an empire.
Each choice reveals a different side of Catherine and asks what it really takes to turn a strange new world into your own.
