Media Reviews
Rory’s Story Cubes is an invitation to shared creative thinking, just open-ended enough to encourage spontaneity and humor, just structured enough to maintain focus and challenge…Play it by yourself. Play it with friends. Play it with family. Play it at a party. By all means, play it.

What a terrific little game this is! Well, not really a game, but a highly imaginative exercise. There’s nothing competitive about this, just the active use of imagination, a much-to-be-desired tool in any parental tool kit.

A fantastic way to start off a creative writing assignment…and a good way of giving a focused topic for creative writing without being restrictive.

5/5 – I was fortunate to have the original cubes in a box. If ever there was a reason needed to have an iPhone this is it!! Love it!!!

5/5 – The app is beautifully designed and implemented, the 3D rendering and animation give a ‘realness’ to the cubes that perfectly compliments using the accelerometer to replicate the action of rolling the cubes.

5/5 – If you have kids or want to stimulate your own creativity, I cannot rate this app, or the physical Rory’s Story Cubes for that matter, highly enough…Go get it!

5/5 – My daughter didn’t want to stop playing. She was so eager to create stories orally and now wants to also start writing them. I can’t wait to try this in my own classroom. Very impressed.

The more you use them, play with them, and learn from them, the more ideas you will have for their use. Kids of all ages can play! Parents, too!

Brilliant! I found that it helps the children to develop their verbal storytelling and also to improve creativity.
