Frequently Asked Questions

These are the following questions about this gamebook, Poodle Ride Quest.

What's the idea or concept of this game?

Imagine you were riding on a back of a poodle, and you are in a world where you can ride a dog. Poodles are dogs. Typically, people walk dogs with a leash via the real world. With this gamebook; you can ride a poodle, just like riding a horse, but different. You ride a poodle bareback, and you hang on to her collar.

How Do I Play?

Read, scroll, and make a choice by clicking on these links. As you click on a link; you progress to the next page, just like a gamebook. Each page what you go to works the same principle.

Try NOT to spank your poodle. If you refuse to spank a poodle at least 6 times; you will progress further. Each time you refuse to spank; your poodle gets stronger, that applies to the first level. If you spank your poodle on the 1st level; you will lose your privilege that enables you to ride a poodle in the future during gameplay, that activates a trigger that will enable you to play as a different character. However; if you spank your poodle via higher levels; game will be over, and you must either use a bookmark on your browser to go to your saved position, or restart from scratch.

If you play as Joseph; you must NOT spank your dog because, if you continue to do so during gameplay; you will lose a privilege. If you do this 3 times in a row; you lose 50% of your dogback-riding privileges. If you spanked your dog 5 times in a row; your ability to ride a dog has been restricted. If you spanked your dog 6 times in a row; you lose your entire dogback-riding privilege altogether, and there's no possibility to get them back, nor earn them back. If you spank your dog via a 7th time; game will be over.
