Terratales
Every Place Has a Story.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Tap any place on Earth and hear it come alive. Terratales weaves an immersive narrated story from the map ... history, folklore, or full fantasy. You choose.
Terratales turns any spot on the globe into a narrated story. Tap a location on the map, and within seconds you'll hear an immersive tale about that place — its history, its people, the events that shaped it, all brought to life. Start with 15 free stories, no subscription required.
HOW IT WORKS
• Tap anywhere on the map to generate a story
• Rich narration begins in seconds — you control the subject, timeframe, and historical accuracy
• Stories adapt to your zoom level: street-level micro-history, neighborhood character, city-wide trends, or regional epics
• Long-press the story button to speak a specific request: "Tell me about the gold rush here" or "What happened on this river in 1873?"
DIAL YOUR EXPERIENCE
• Fantasy Slider: Shift from strict historical fact to mythological folklore to full creative fantasy
• Choose your focus: History & Culture, Nature & Ecology, Science & Innovation, Architecture, Folklore & Mysteries, or Everyday Vibe
• Set your timeframe: Present Day, Historical, or Prehistoric
• Pick your story length: Quick (~1 min), Medium (~3 min), or Epic (~5 min)
3D TERRAIN
Explore the world in three dimensions. Tilt, rotate, and exaggerate terrain to see the landscape as it really is — mountains, valleys, and coastlines rendered in dramatic relief.
KARAOKE-STYLE CAPTIONS
Follow along with word-by-word highlighting synced to the narration. Every word lights up as it's spoken, so you never lose your place.
EXPLORE FROM YOUR COUCH
Planning a trip? Curious about little-known corners of the world? Search for any place on Earth — the Colosseum, Machu Picchu, your grandmother's hometown — and hear the stories come alive. Terratales works everywhere the map goes.
