Storyteller: A Fantastic Free Netflix Puzzle Game

A remarkable puzzle game for all ages

This is what you’ll see once you download the game Storyteller. | Screenshots from the game by Nanie Hurley 🌿

Perhaps you already knew this, but I only learned last week that Netflix has more than movies, series, and documentaries. Netflix now offers free games!

Well, it’s not exactly free… you’re still required to have a valid subscription to access the games, but they’re included with any subscription tier.

And let me tell you something: the first game I tried was a winner. Storyteller is one of the most fun puzzle games I have ever played!

Simple, yet challenging

Designed by Daniel Benmergui and published by Annapurna Interactive, Storyteller was released in early 2023 on Steam (for Microsoft Windows and macOS) and on the Nintendo Switch. Later last year, Netflix made the game available for all its subscribers to play on iOS and Android devices.

Storyteller is a very simple, which, in my humble opinion, is the perfect recipe for a great puzzle game. Each level presents a story title, a storyboard, characters and scenes. That’s all you get. As the storyteller, you must mix these elements to create a story matching the title.
