Playable Stories: Vibe Coding Meaningful Games
A hands-on workshop for storytellers and community builders: turn your story into a playable browser game using AI tools — no coding experience needed.
Playable Stories is a series created and hosted by Into Storymode.
This session is a hands-on workshop presented in collaboration with SPACE4, the affordable workspace run by the Outlandish worker-cooperative in Finsbury Park, as part of the SPACE4 2026 collection.
About this session
This workshop is for storytellers and community builders who want to turn their story into a playable browser game using AI tools.
It is aimed at people working with co-ops, community projects, and social impact initiatives — particularly those who already use narrative in their work and want a new, interactive way to share it. No prior coding experience or knowledge of AI is needed.
Together we will explore a few sample games to understand how they are designed, then build a short browser-based game — around three to seven minutes of play — by describing your idea to an AI tool and shaping it step by step.
What you'll do
- Play and unpack a few sample games to see how they work
- Sketch a short game concept drawn from your own story or practice
- Build a playable browser prototype, guided step by step
What to bring
A laptop. No prior coding experience or AI knowledge required.
