Twisty Town
I built a place.
It's called Twisty Town.
Twisty Town is a free digital playground for kids Pre-K through 5th grade. Eight zones, no accounts, no ads. Stories. Comedy. Magic. Books. Drawing. The whole tagline is right there on the door: Adventures in Storytelling.
I grew up in a library.
My mom was an elementary-school librarian. Before I was even in school I was in her library every day, surrounded by books — magic books, biographies of magicians, adventure stories, anything I could get my hands on.
One day I told her I was bored. She looked at me the way only mothers and librarians can and said: "There are over 22,000 books in this library. Every single one is an adventure waiting for YOU to open it."
That moment changed everything. It's not a book — it's an adventure. That's the line I've spent my career trying to land with kids. Twisty Town is how I do it now, at scale, for free, for any kid with a screen.
The Zones of Twisty Town
Eight places to play. Visit any one. Visit them all.
The Library
Where stories live. Read along, get read to, find new favorites.
The Treehouse
Home of Mr. Twisty's Storytime Adventures — my read-aloud YouTube show with 45K subscribers and 1M+ views.
StoryQuest
The adventure machine. Ten worlds. Pick a setting and the story builds itself around you.
The Story Generator
Spin three wheels and you've got yourself a story prompt. Stuck on a writing assignment? Start here.
The Comedy Clubhouse
Comedy is a skill. The Clubhouse is where kids learn it — joke writing, joke telling, comedy timing.
The Book Bindery
Kids write their own books — guided, illustrated, printable. Real publishing energy at six years old.
The Picture Palace
Drawing, illustration, picture-making with characters from the rest of Twisty Town.
The Magic Studio
(Coming soon.) Where kids learn the actual magic tricks I do on stage. Hands-on, kid-paced.
Why this matters when you book me.
When I show up at your school, your festival, your corporate family day, or your kid's birthday party — a meaningful number of the kids in the room already know me. They've watched Storytime Adventures. They've spent a rainy afternoon in StoryQuest. They know Penny.
That's the energy boost a Mr. Twisty event gets that nothing else in the kids'-entertainer market has. I'm not arriving as "some guy with a balloon kit." I'm arriving as the guy from Twisty Town. The bond is already built. The work is already half done before I open my mouth.
When kids who already know me from Twisty Town meet me l
