A choose-your-own-adventure story between Tim and Lisa with different endings based on audience's choices via "voting lollipops"
This is a good concept, and the idea of planning to kidnap a friend was fun, though there was one major problem with this that I found: the choices themselves. Once the audience went down a path of either gambling or kidnapping, all the choices from then on could be summarized as "do something" or "do nothing," which isn't very fun or thought-provoking for the audience, since the majority will obviously want to do something if they can. It may be a good idea next time to broaden the choices so they read as "do a thing" versus "do a different thing."
I liked the use of voting lollipops to allow the audience to decide actions. Voting with lollipops makes it easier for each member of the audience to vote, and makes it clear what the consensus is. Additionally, they were just fun to use.
One thing I would suggest is think about the expectations of your story. Thematically tying in the lollipops or the colors purple and orange would have made voting more connected to the story.
I found your documentation to be very clear! Great job!
