Tick Tock,You're Dead from the Give Yourself Goosebumps series is a book that I never really tried reading.I never owned it as a kid but here I am.Its kind of funny I came close to reading this when the Tik Tok app was banned but didn't have alot of time and it seemed poor taste. Anyway,I don't have Tik Tok but alot of people are attached to the app.Anyway here's the review.The story follows you going to this museum with your family for Christmas vacation at a museum.Your little brother sneaks off so you go to find him only to run into this weird scientist guy inside one of the rooms.He says he's glad your here your brother walks in and goes inside this portal and you have to go save him.Dr.peebles explains he hasn't perfected the chronometer,the thing that is used to go to the past present or future.You get a choice of not doing this but it starts you back to where you have to choose of you choose the past which is what I did you either can go find him with a knight,or a dinosaur.I chose the knight first this leads you to multiple options like dueling with the knight in a baseball like game.You also run into a king that you have to escape along with a dragon and a lair with either a lizard or a wizard that's really hilarious.I completed this story line sort of first.And what I mean by that is I got as far as I could and got confused so I went backwards.The past storyline can still lead you into the future where you fight robots that took over.You meet rebels that are against the robots.I think this storyline can also lead you to the dinosaur storyline,or atleast part of it.If you start at the dinosaur storyline you don't get nearly enough dinosaur action but it's still good.You can also go to two different futures at the beginning,one with a run away truck that's a pretty short storyline where you can try to stop bad things from happening to your family.The other other future storyline leads you to more robots I belive.Tick Tock,You're Dead is a fun very creative Goosebumps book,but be prepared to spend some time on it.As far as negatives,I have two.We don't learn anything about Dr.Peebles and the other is this book was also very hard to navigate through.The rest is nearly perfect.Some highlighted endings that I loved were the ones reminiscent of The cuckoo Clock Of Doom and My Best Friend Is Invisible.There is also some good scary scenes like a dinosaur biting another's head off and you getting shot with lasers from robots.I give Tick Tock,You're Dead a very high four out of five stars.

Goosebumps filled my shelves when I was younger. I love to see them getting some love lately with the new series coming out. I'm watching this with April and it's so good, we love it!

April, MaKenna and I all felt like it would be fun to revisit this childhood favorite of ours. So, we got matching sweatshirts and then decided a 'give yourself goosebumps' would be so much fun to read while on a video chat. When I say we laughed so much and had the BEST time. If you've ever considered doing this, do it!

We started okay but we quickly learned our little brother (in the book lol) was annoying and causing us trouble as sometimes we'd rather choose the path that didn't save him. We're awful, we know. Over 20 different endings were possible and we MIGHT have died/reached the end 6 times before we actually got us and our brother home (which was the ending we were going for).

Thank you @bookedwithapril and @booksandbirdies for the fun, aloud buddy read! Looking forward to reading the next one!

This is such a fun read. It was great to go back to a goosebumps book. So much nostalgia. The only issue I had was sometimes the main plot got lost in the different paths you could take, which lead to a very unsatisfying conclusion.

[Josiah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Credible claims are made that Give Yourself Goosebumps is mostly the product of ghostwriters, but which books specifically? I've never heard an authoritative answer. Tick Tock, You're Dead! takes you, your parents, and your redheaded younger brother Denny to New York City for Christmas. Denny, misbehaving at the Museum of Natural History, runs off on his own and it's your job to track him down. When you peek into a room marked DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT INSIDE, a scientist named Dr. Peebles mistakes you for his new assistant. Is he actually going to let you test his...time machine? Denny darts into the room and vanishes inside the machine before Dr. Peebles finalizes its settings, and now you must chase Denny through time and bring him home within two hours or he disappears forever. Clinging to the chronometer stopwatch that will get you back here after retrieving Denny, you have to guess: did he go into the future or past?

You see two visions of the future: a super high-tech city, or New York as it appears today. This turns out to be New York a single day in the future; in fact, look there! It's you and your family crossing the street. When a truck loses control and appears destined to kill the four of you, you'll have to use the chronometer to go back in time a little ways and save the day. Should you directly warn your future parents, or create a commotion to keep your family from entering harm's way? If you'd rather track down the truck ahead of time, you find it at a dispatch garage. You can ask the driver to let you ride along, but preventing the accident is nearly impossible. What if you end up killing yourself to save your family? Perhaps you sought Denny in the high-tech city instead of contemporary New York. A robot policeman nabs you for the crime of being human in public; do you request the judge sentence you to the zoo, or school? In your classroom, the robot teacher poses difficult questions and sends all kids who answer incorrectly to be disintegrated. The teacher asks you something you might know if you read A Night in Terror Tower from Goosebumps. Get it right and you buy yourself time to escape to another part of the city. You could be captured by a human woman who accuses you of espionage, or you may meet Jarmal, human leader of the anti-robot resistance. He wants you to sneak into a power plant and blow it up. Complete the mission and you might live to continue chasing Denny in hopes of an improbable happy outcome.

If you elected to search for Denny in the past, there are two scenes to choose between. If you think Denny went toward the dinosaurs, a tyrannosaur soon stalks you as prey, and you spot Denny mired in quicksand. Can you stay ahead of the dinosaur, yank Denny out, and activate the chronometer? Maybe Denny gravitated to the knights in armor, not the dinosaurs. A knight challenges you to a death duel on behalf of King Ruthbert. You don't stand a chance in armed combat, but will the knight agree to a contest that favors your own skills? Inside the castle a wizard may quiz you regarding a time travel device familiar to readers of the Goosebumps book The Cuckoo Clock of Doom. Answer correctly and the wizard directs you to Denny, but what if he refuses to go home? You could get trapped by a carnivorous spider or lion. If you meet King Ruthbert, Denny has beaten you there and been adopted as his son. Knights prepare to boil you in oil for presuming to directly address the king's son, but you may be able to trick Denny into releasing you. Otherwise, soldiers of King Henry, Ruthbert's enemy, lay siege to the castle. They move to heave Denny off the castle top to his death; is there any way to stop them and force Denny to cooperate so you both make it home to your parents?

Tick Tock, You're Dead! improves on Escape from the Carnival of Horrors. I enjoy the sheer variety of narrative options, and the storyline in which you try to rescue your family from the runaway truck features high enough stakes to get readers invested. On the surface this book seems internally inconsistent, since you find Denny just about anywhere you go, but I'm not convinced that's the case. The rules of time travel using Dr. Peebles's method leave open the possibility that Denny hops from past to future and back again without time elapsing for you; you catch up to Denny in different locations because of temporal physics, not laziness on the author's part. Tick Tock, You're Dead! is a good gamebook, one I have fun with.

In this book the reader finds that, for some reason, the New York history museum has been doing time travel experiments. Unfortunately, their brother ran into the machine and got lost in time, and the reader must find him or be grounded for a very long time.

The rest of the book is basically split into four different scenarios. There are two set in the past, one being a medieval fantasy (not historical!) adventure, and the other is set in prehistoric times. These are the weaker stories, feeling pretty generic and predictable aside from a few fun moments.

The other scenarios take place in the future. Well, in one scenario the reader is only one day in the future but needs to stop their family (and their future self) from being killed, which was a fun adventure.

The second future scenario takes place in a dystopian world where robots rule over humans, and really should have been an entire GYG book. It was quite a fun ride.

So, only half of the book is really that interesting. There are also a lot of branches where one choice will lead to death, and the other will progress the story, likely due to the limitation of having four stories going on at once. Having said that, some of the deaths in this one are a lot of fun, and spooky!

There are also a few odd ways the book makes choices. One is where the reader has to flip two coins to "decide" their choice. At another point, a choice is decided on whether the date is an odd or even number. Another depends on what colour shirt the reader wearing! I applaud Stine for trying something different, but it ends up just feeling random and completely based on luck.

There are also two instances where you have to answer a question based on knowledge from different Goosebumps books! I thought that was cute, though. Oh, and this is another CYOA book that chastises you for making a boring choice, something I always find amusing.

OH, I forgot the worst part of the book. The younger brother! He's such an annoying character and I really didn't want to save him. Fortunately, the book DOES let you screw him over. I consider those endings victories.

So, bit of a mixed bag really. There are too many unsatisfying choices, and only the future scenarios are really interesting. But the future stories really are a lot of fun, so I'd suggest to skipping the choice to go to the past and have fun times in the future. Fun? I meant... spooky!!! (evil laugh)

Tick Tock Your Dead (Updated)
Version 1: This was one of the best versions and I actually did choose this one of my second-reread.

You and your parents come to NY for a Christmas vacation. So far its been crummy because all your parents want to do is go to museums. Then there’s your brat of a little brother Denny. You go to this one museum and it’s slightly interesting because it has dinosaurs. Your mom leads you into a room with a sun dial excitedly but a room dedicated to time doesn’t do anything for you. Danny is acting like a pest and keeps saying “You’re not the boss of me”. He kicks me and then says he’s thirsty. Not wanting to be bothered with him herself, your mom tells him to go take him to find a water fountain. He runs off down the hallway and you run after him. Eventually you see a door that ways WARNING! DANGEROUS EXPERIMENTS INSIDE! THIS DOOR MUST BE KEPT LOCKED AT ALL TIMES!

The door is open and thinking this is where Denny must have gone you open it. Instead, there’s a white-haired man with his hair in a pony tail. The man is bent over a computer hooked to a clock. He thinks you’re the volunteer and tells you we don’t have much time. He puts a time turner around our neck and asks if we’re ready (without giving us a chance to say we’re not here for that). The man’s name is Dr. Pebbles. He explains that we’re about to time travel. As a matter of fact, we’ll be the first human in history to use his traveling chronometer.

Then he tells how to use the stopwatch (time turner). Pressing the button the left takes you to the past. Pressing the button on the button on the right to go to the future. Press the button on top and bottom to return to the present. (Now personally just my opinion but if I ran into some man, I didn’t know at a museum who told me he wanted to send me into an unknown time and place, I’d say PASS and run out the door because even if the machine *did* work there’s no guarantee that I’d come back at all).

Decision time. Should we time travel or should we try to find Denny? We choose time travel (71). (I can’t really fault this choose because I don’t want to be bothered with Denny either.) But then just as the door opens and Dr. Pebbles is making adjustments, Denny runs into the room and runs into the time machine and disappears. Dr. Pebbles says if we don’t go find him in 2 hours he’ll disappear forever. Dr. Pebbles makes some adjustments and says that when we find him we have to be touching when using the stopwatch or it’ll only bring back one of us. But where is he? Past of future? Dr. Pebbles say there’s no way of knowing. We have to choose.

We choose the future (44). You step into the time traveling machine and see two scenes. a big, futuristic-looking city with small cars flying around like planes and one of NYC. A small boy that looks like Denny disappears around a tall building. Decision time again. Is Danny in NY or is he in the strange city? We choose NY (54). You don’t see Denny anywhere and the person you ask isn’t any help. You see a newspaper stand that says your 1 day into the future. Then you see something that startles you.

It's your mom, dad, Denny and you. But then you see they’re about to get hit by a truck coming right at them! Should you go back a few minutes in time and try to stop your family OR go back further and try to stop the truck? We decide to stop the truck (34). At first everything still looks the same but you see that it’s an hour earlier same day. You remember the truck had HERRING BROS. DELIVERIES on the side. You look up the address and go there. Herring Bros. is a big garage on the ground floor of a large high-rise building. There’s one green one. You see a dispatcher and wonder if there’s a way you can stop her from sending the truck out.

You have to decide if it would be better to talk to the dispatcher or the truck driver. We decide to speak to the dispatcher (20). The dispatcher thinks your from there to unload the shipping and points you in the direction of a red truck. She tells you Abe doesn’t like to be kept waiting. (Ummm obviously this lady isn’t all too bright. Why would someone send a KID to unload shipping on a truck. That should be against child labor laws). Abe is just as dumb as the lady and doesn’t question this. He just starts ordering you around and you just go along with it in order to keep your eye on the other truck.

The driver gets in the green truck and you try to rush over to him, but Abe is yelling at you. It instructs you if your wearing green to turn to one page. If your not turn to another. I’m not so I turn to (63). Abe shoves you into a red truck but you see that the boxes you’ve been loading are mice (white) that will be used for research. This gives you an idea. You open all the boxes and release all the mice in the truck and then start yelling “HELP! HELP!” Abe gets out and is shocked. Mice start spilling onto the loading dock. He gets the driver in the green truck to get out and help him. You have now saved your family and 2, 000 mice.

(This is a nice ending BUT do we ever get back to the present? I think that should have been included in this if not just a couple of sentences saying we made it back and all was well).

Version 2 (This is another good ending I just decided to try and didn’t get when I first read these).

Decision time. Should we time travel or should we try to find Denny? We choose time travel (71). But then just as the door opens and Dr. Pebbles is making adjustments; Denny runs into the room and runs into the time machine and disappears. Dr. Pebbles says if we don’t go find him in 2 hours he’ll disappear forever. Dr. Pebbles makes some adjustments and says that when we find him we have to be touching when using the stopwatch or it’ll only bring back one of us. But where is he? Past of future? Dr. Pebbles say there’s no way of knowing. We have to choose. We choose the past (44).

There are two paths. At the end of the left-hand path you squint to see a tall stone castle in the distance. A knight in shiny armor on a white horse rides toward it. At the end of the right-hand path there’s a swamp with tall, strange-looking trees towering over it. Moving among the trees is … can it be? A dinosaur! We have to decide which way Denny went. So, we pick the castle with the knight riding toward it (93). At first you don’t see the knight but then you learn to be careful what you wish for (and go looking for) and then you see him coming straight at you with his spear pointed. So, do we face him or jump into the moat?

We face the knight head on (22) Because we can’t swim, we decide to face the knight. We explain to him that we’re a visitor and here to find our little brother. He says no one can enter the castle without doing the challenge. The challenge is facing him in a duel. The loser gets thrown into the moat to the crocodiles. He gives us a choice of a spear, a sword, a spiky chain, and a huge wooden club.

You pick the club and tell the knight you get to pick the rules (and they are). Pick one of the apples )frp, the apple tree) and toss it toward me. I’ll hit the apple with the club. Then I’ll throw an apple for you to hit. Whoever hits the apple farthest will win the duel. You choose this because last year you were the best batter on your baseball team. It tells you to flip a two coins. If they both come up the same thing turn to one page. If one is heads and the other is tails go to another page. The right answer if they come up different turn to (116).

You win and try to tell him he doesn’t have to jump in the moat but its too late. Before he’s swallowed up he yells beware of the lair. Inside the castle all of a sudden your plunged into darkness and you hear a scream up ahead. Should you keep going or turn back. We decide to keep going (76).

You eventually find yourself in a room with three doors. One is the one you came out of. The other two are “The Lair” and “the Kings Throne Room”. You remember the knights warning. Which should you choose? You decide to listen to the knight and choose the Throne Room (83). There’s a ladies in gowns, knights, and the king in this room. One of the knight points his sword at you. You try to explain your looking for your brother but he thinks you’re a spy for King Henry.

The knight ties your hands and takes you to the King who demands to know who you are. Again, you try to explain you’re a stranger from the future, but then in the small chair next to the Kings is your brother. The King says its his son. He’s always wanted a son and when this one showed up he adopted him. You try to plead with your brother that you have to get out of there. Your brother tells the king he doesn’t like this person. The king says to boil you in oil. Denny echoes the sentiment. The guard takes you to the roof and you see a black boiling pot of oil. It’s up to luck. If it’s a even day you turn to one page if it’s an odd day you turn to another. The correct answer tho is choose the even day (52).

They’re about to carry out the sentence but then there’s a scream and knight start to swarm the place. It’s King Henry’s army. You see one of the knights grab Denny. For a moment you think of just doing nothing but that wouldn’t be right. You decide to try to trick the knight (121). You tell the knight that your brother is the king’s son but this only makes it worse. So, you tell them if they return him they’ll get more jewels than they know what to do with and that you’re the kings agnt. They ask why your hands are tied and you tell them untie you and find out.

Your able to kick the sword away from the knight, drop him with a kick, grab Denny, and when you do this you accidently hit the chromometer. It takes you to a strange place where place are chanting all hail the king. You look at them and demand they take the slave boy (Denny) out of your sight.

Rating: 6 The first version was a good one but it just didn’t feel complete. The second was a lot more interesting and I was happy to see that brat get what was coming to him. I would NOT have gone back for him brother or not after he’d ordered my death. I always say blood isn’t always thicker (than water). The site I have for these is amazing! What I love about it is that if you have the physical books you have to flip to the correct pages. With this site you just click the link and it takes you to the chosen page!

I did really like the concept of this book where you get to choose your own storyline and it’s a much more immersive reading experience. There are many options on how to make the story come together and I found myself going back and forth at certain points to see who it would’ve turned out if I choose something else. In this one you are visiting a museum with your family and your little brother runs off, some mixups occur and he gets transported to some time in time and you need to find him within two hours or he’ll disappear forever. You get to choose past or future and encounter different obstacles and decisions. I did really like the time travel concept just some aspects not to my likening.

I like the concept of "Give Yourself" Goosebumps. Lol, a DIY horror book. Innovative but... What if I don't want to save that kid? What if I don't get attached like an actual sibling?

The book was majorly dependent on the reader getting scared of his 'assumed' brother's loss in time. Therefore, not a scare at all.

This is one of two choose your own adventure style Goosebumps books that I own, and this one was my favourite. The story focusses on a time machine, and so as the reader, you get to travel through time as you try to make it to the end of the story without anything horrible happening.

Books like this are a lot of fun, and they’re a great gift to encourage a youngster to get into reading – after all, you can re-read this over and over again and have a different story line every time. I don’t want to have kids, but if I do have kids then I’ll be giving them plenty of books like this.

If you like Choose Your Own Adventure style books, Goosebumps, and/or time travel you might like this. It is flawed in the way that all these style books are flawed, but it's ok for cheap gimmicky fun. Kids like em until they get old enough to feel unsatisfied by dying in 20 different stupid ways.

ooof not off to a very good start on the Give Yourself Goosebumps series but that's okay! I'm determined to keep on trekking through them. The concept of these books are really neat and you get to choose your way through to the ending but choose wisely!

Tick Tock, You're Dead follows two brothers in NYC travelling with their parents. The two boys are annoyed that their parents are museum buffs and being young they find museums boring. Naturally. lol. From here the eldest boy finds himself in the company of a time travel scientist of sorts and he is offered to travel in time or go off to find his youngest brother before getting into trouble by his parents. I obviously chose to travel in time!

If you give this one a go try the other ending where you choose to find the younger brother. I'm curious.

[paige turner ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This attempt at getting the right ending seemed a little confusing. I mean, I feel good about what ending I got, but I didn't do what I was technically supposed to do.

I was supposed to go and find my brother who had either went into the future or the past. I chose the future.

I saw my family (which included myself) about to get hit by a giant truck.

Now, trying to think logically, from all the shows and movies I had seen, I thought it would be better if my future-self didn't see...myself so I went back in time about an hour to stop the truck.

I ended up saving my family with the little shenanigans that I pulled, but I didn't get my brother back.

Page 107 still feels like a win though.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tick Tock Dead is a heartwarming yet thrilling story set in Angelcroft, Colorado, a small ski town that was once a mining community. Sartor spins a moving story that will hook you on page one. Protagonist Jenna Hart is the type of character I enjoy reading; she is strong, determined, wise, and a bit feisty. She is a jeweler and would like nothing more than to spend her time turning gems into dazzling jewelry, but when her close friend is murdered, Jenna sets out to find the killer. When police Detective Derek Tripp arrives on the scene, Jenna’s investigation challenges her to endure more than she ever thought she could.
Tick Tock Dead is the first in the Jenna Hart Mystery series, and I’m anxiously awaiting number two.

Niestety ta część okazała się najsłabsza z wszystkich "wybierz własną historię", które czytałam. Nagle tak po prostu traciliśmy główny cel?? I koniec tak o? Dziwne. Po początku też spodziewałam się innej scenerii, a trafiałam do totalnie innych i dziwnych lokacji (bo podróżujemy w czasie). Część z nich była serio ciekawa, ale gdzieś w środku straciłam zainteresowanie i czytałam na odwal się. Są też standardowo fajne rozwiązania i te mniej porywające, odniesienia do innych książek z serii, a także ten cholerny, denerwujący dzieciak, który w kółko powtarza to samo.

Podsumowując: nie warto, wybierzcie innego Stine'a.

A very interesting story. If you have a younger brother, you can surely relate to this story. Moreover it was so fun to read. But to very honest it didn't give me goosebumps or chills down my spine. So I am a lit bit dissatisfied. The story is good and interesting. I died two times and got stuck forever. But I was successful in finding my brother in my fourth attempt. It was a good experience. Tried different choices after that. That was also interesting, but not too much. Well enjoy reading this book!!!

•∆• Unique idea (DIY concept)
•∆• Not so time consuming
•∆• Easy - Writing style & Sentence Narration
•∆• Sci Fi, Thriller, Time traveling
•∆• Can read it several times & still don't bored because every time the story has a different ending (depend on the choices made by us)

Interaktiivinen Jatka itse -kirja, jossa lukija saa valita, miten tarina etenee. Tykkään itse näistä aivan valtavasti! Professorin kehittämä aikakone sopii mielestäni hyvin kirjaan, koska sen kautta lukija pääsee luonnollisesti tutustumaan erilaisiin maailmoihin menneisyydessä ja tulevaisuudessa. Plussaa siitä, että mukana on karmeita loppuja, joissa lukijalle käy köpelösti. Sopii noin luokille 3-6.

[Dope Ghost Library · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tick Tock, You're Dead!, the second book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps book series, has time travel as its core concept. The past has some excellent choices to ponder on such as prehistoric era wandering and the future has a couple of grim outlooks as well, with robots completely replacing humans in one future outcome. There's even a present day scenario that works well. Overall, a worthy follow-up to Escape From The Carnival Of Horrors (#1).
