    Huh, let me google that

    Alright so it’s apparently just a trademark on the term “choose your own adventure”, held by chooseco. So you can do those kinds of books as long as you don’t call it that.

      It’s funny that there is a whole informal genre of CYOA stuff that uses the name, presumably in violation of that trademark, but actually has very little relation to those books and is more focused on spending points to build characters or settings.
