Travelocity Does Choose-Your-Own-Adventure With Twitter

This is awesome! Yes, the whole choose-you-own-adventure thing has been done many times before but it’s almost always with video. Travelocity, which is touting Memorial Day destinations, is out with a Twitter-based choose-your-own-adventure.

During this week-long social campaign leading up to Memorial Day weekend, fans are encouraged to interact with the @RoamingGnome via Twitter and answer a series of destination-driven questions that will eventually present them with destination recommendations for an ideal Memorial Day getaway. To check out how it works, start here.

Based on answers, people are served up a tweet that directs them one of ten destinations. And the Gnome is there with destination-themed wit.

I’m 65 and my grandson hugged me goodbye last week and said ‘I love you, Grandpa’ — and I stood there frozen because in sixty years nobody in my family ever said those words out loud, and I didn’t know what my face was supposed to do
