Lockdowns and quarantines have become part of our domestic lives. Choose Your Own Quarantine lets you try different paths through fictional quarantines. Inspired by choose-your-own-adventure books of the 1980s, this web-based game starts out by offering you recognisable scenarios which then become increasingly speculative. The pandemic has presented us with previously unimaginable choices; this piece takes them further, asking which habits and routines will remain.
