Solution: Add Layers to Your Adventure

We'll cover the following...

This program is a simple choose-your-own-adventure game where your choices decide what happens next.

How it works:

  • def jungle_adventure(): defines a function that contains the whole game.

  • The player first chooses a path: "river", "mountain", or "jungle".

  • Depending on the choice, the game runs a different block of code using if, elif, and else.

  • Some paths (like river and mountain) include a second decision, where the player picks what to do next — and each choice has its own outcome printed with print().

  • If the player types something unexpected, the game shows a default message using the else part.

def jungle_adventure():
    # First decision: Choose between three paths
    path = input("You find three paths: river, mountain, or jungle. Where do you go? ")

    if path == "river":
        # Second decision with three possible actions
        action = input("At the river, do you swim, build a raft, or follow the shore? ")
        if action == "swim":
            print("You swim with dolphins!")
        elif action == "build a raft":
            print("You float downstream to a hidden village!")
        elif action == "follow the shore":
            print("You find a boat tied to a tree and sail away!")
        else:
            print("You wait too long and it gets dark.")

    elif path == "mountain":
        # Second decision with three possible outcomes
        action = input("At the mountain, do you explore a cave, enjoy the view, or set up camp? ")
        if action == "explore a cave":
            print("You find glowing crystals and ancient symbols!")
        elif action == "enjoy the view":
            print("You spot a distant city — your next quest!")
        elif action == "set up camp":
            print("You build a cozy fire and rest under the stars.")
        else:
            print("You get cold and decide to head back.")

    elif path == "jungle":
        print("You get tangled in vines and meet a group of talking monkeys!")

    else:
        print("You wander in circles and end up where you started.")
