Decide Your Destiny was a series of children's Doctor Who gamebooks, written in the second person and with branching narratives, with each page ending with two or more options, with instructions to advise the reader as to which page to go to depending on their choice choice, for example: "To go right, go to page 56. To go left, go to page 77." This style of gamebook is commonly referred to as Choose Your Own Adventure, after a long-running series of books that began in the late 1970s and popularised this genre of "interactive" novel; however, the term "Choose Your Own Adventure" properly refers to this line only. Decide Your Destiny follows a number of Doctor Who-related gamebooks in this genre dating back to the mid-1980s.

Originally featuring the Tenth Doctor, the books continued into 2010 with the release of editions featuring the Eleventh Doctor. Unlike previous Decide your Destiny titles, all four 2010 books appear to feature the return of a monster or alien that had previously appeared in the television series. These creatures are the Macra, Sycorax, Judoon and Werewolf. They also have links to exclusive online content.
