Welcome to the Factory<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/em> is one of the world\u2019s favourite stories, overspilling with imaginative inventions and colourful characters.<\/p>\n

Now, there is a scrumptiously new, magically personalised companion story that\u2019s as ingenious and bonkers as Willy Wonka himself.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the Roald Dahl estate, My Golden Ticket<\/em><\/a> gives any child in the world a personalised tour of the chocolate factory and you won\u2019t believe how clever it is\u2026<\/p>\n

1. A Golden Ticket for every child<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In Roald Dahl\u2019s original, there were only five Golden Tickets in the whole world. Now, thanks to our snazzy technology, every young reader can have one.<\/p>\n

2. Ingeniously inventive personalisation makes every book totally unique<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"JACK<\/p>\n

Every child\u2019s tour is deliciously different from the last. Each room they visit in the story gives them an individual ingredient based on the letters of their name, meaning the possible combinations are infinite.<\/p>\n

3. The book features never-before-seen rooms in Willy Wonka\u2019s chocolate factory<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In My Golden Ticket<\/em><\/a>, you get to explore rooms from the original book \u2013 and one or two completely new creations (though still based on Roald Dahl\u2019s vision).<\/p>\n

4. You’re invited on the adventure too!<\/h3>\n

\"a<\/a>
\nCharlie chose Grandpa Joe to go with him to the factory. In My Golden Ticket<\/em><\/a>, YOU can join the lucky child on their once-in-a-lifetime tour. Just try not to fall into the Chocolate River . . .<\/p>\n

5. Every Wonka invention in the story is mind-bogglingly real<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t just painstakingly design every candy wrapper in the book \u2013 we actually made them. Then we photographed them, so that when you open the book they feel as real as if Willy Wonka had made them himself.<\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/h3>\n

6. Even the cover was created by a luxury chocolate-box maker<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We had to ensure the cover was as gold and shiny and, well, chocolate-boxy, as could be.<\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/p>\n

7. A touch of Wonka wonder in every line<\/h3>\n

\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The book is stupendously detailed, and each phrase has been given the Willy Wonka treatment, from the factory rules to the intricately detailed ingredients list on the candy wrappers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

8. Every child discovers their very own (and rather bizarre) family tree<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We take a child\u2019s surname and twist it, and turn it, and mangle it, and generally Wonka-fy it, until it\u2019s been totally transformed. It\u2019s probably not a family tree you\u2019ll recognise, but it\u2019ll have been made just for them.<\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/p>\n

9. A whimsical song made from YOUR child\u2019s name<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most magically melodious moment in the whole book \u2013 a child\u2019s very own Oompa-Loompa song, constructed from all the letters of their name, and the ingredients they\u2019ve found along the way. Plus it rhymes. Try it for a child you know by typing their name below . . .<\/p>\n
