Python - 26: Building a Text Adventure Game

Let's combine input, variables, and conditions to build a small text adventure.

Your challenge: Ask the player to make choices and use nested conditions to change what happens next.

Store the player's choices

Each answer from input() is stored in a variable such as choice or action.

Change the story with conditions

Use if, elif, and else to decide which part of the story should happen.

For example: if choice == "left":

Nest one decision inside another

When the player goes right, the program asks another question. That second if statement belongs inside the first decision.

Try it: Add another choice after the player finds the treasure.

Good Python habit: Keep choice words simple and consistent so it is clear what the player should type.

print("Welcome to the Adventure!")

player_name = input("What is your name? ")

print("Hello " + player_name)

print("You enter a dark cave.")

choice = input("Go left or right? ")

if choice == "left":
    print("You found treasure!")

elif choice == "right":
    print("A monster appears!")

    action = input("Run or fight? ")

    if action == "run":
        print("You escaped safely!")

    elif action == "fight":
        print("You defeated the monster!")

    else:
        print("The monster watches you carefully.")

else:
    print("You stay at the cave entrance.")

print("Game Over!")
