# Marvel Family Adventure Atlas

**Dataset date:** 2026-08-01

This offline storybook is the non-HTML companion to the website. Pick a route, read one chapter at a time, check it off, discuss the question, and branch whenever curiosity wins.

## The Story Layer

1. **Orient** - decide who is watching, what media can enter, and the household maturity boundary.
2. **Choose** - select a curated route or build one from the dataset.
3. **Journey** - watch one chapter at a time.
4. **Reflect** - answer the chapter question without looking for a single correct answer.
5. **Branch** - follow a character, artifact, tone, universe or comic source.
6. **Export** - preserve the chosen route as Markdown or JSON.

## Family rules that change the rewatch

- **Memory relay:** the least-frequent viewer predicts the next chapter; experts may ask questions but may not correct until the credits.
- **Connection detective:** one person tracks objects and organizations; another tracks relationships and promises.
- **Hero draft:** draft characters and award points for rescues, sacrifices, successful plans, memorable entrances and honest apologies.
- **Comic bridge:** after each chapter, compare what came from comics, prior screen versions, mythology, history or genre cinema.
- **Branch token:** once per night, any family member may replace the next chapter with one connected title from the catalog.
- **Recovery rule:** a skipped or disliked title never breaks the journey; write why, preserve the place, and continue.
