StarFictionOne class. One scene. Until it ends.
Built for the history teacher who wants a class period students are still talking about tomorrow — and the 14 to 18 year olds who bring it up first.
A scene, not a chat
No prompt box, no back-and-forth typing at a machine. The class steps into one moment in history and plays it out together, on one shared screen, until the scene ends.
It starts with the lesson plan
A teacher opens it the week a period comes up on the syllabus — the class becomes the room where that history happened, for one period.
Then it starts with the class
After that, the request comes from the students: "can we do the Napoleon thing again?" — and the next lesson gets built around a scene instead of a slideshow.
A unique way in
The figure answers what your class just said
The first reply isn't generic. It quotes back the exact line the class typed and reacts to it, in character, before the scene moves on.
Sample — a scene shown for illustration, not a live session
The class
You should never have marched on Moscow in winter.

Who it's for
For the teacher who wants a class period students bring up on their own
Built for high school history classes, ages 14 to 18. One scene, played by the whole room together, on one screen — the kind of period that gets mentioned in the hallway afterward.
One plan. Everyone in the room.
After the first scene, subscribing happens through a hosted checkout, behind sign-in, on the StarFiction site.
Frequently asked questions
Who is StarFiction for?+
High school history teachers, and their 14 to 18 year old students. One scene is built for one class, playing together on one shared screen.
What exactly is a "scene"?+
A scene, not a chat. The class steps into a real historical moment and plays it out with a figure from that moment until the scene reaches its end — there is no open-ended prompt box.
What happens the first time we play?+
The first scene plays all the way to the end with no account and no payment. If the class wants to keep going after that, a subscription starts through a hosted checkout, behind sign-in, on the StarFiction site.
What does it cost after the first scene?+
One plan: $7.99 a month for unlimited scenes. There are no separate tiers.
How does a lesson usually start?+
Either a teacher opens a scene for a period already on the syllabus, or a class that played one before asks to do it again for a new period.
