It’s been ten months since season five of The Escape Game ended in blood. Ten months since Team Helsing solved two murders and nearly lost their own lives in a desperate race against the killer through the show’s final escape room.
Now Adi, Beck, Carter, and Sierra are reuniting for a much-needed weekend of fun at the remote Sweetbrier Resort: a state-of-the-art paradise for escape room aficionados. There are puzzles, paradoxes, and games galore – not to mention a hunt for lost treasure.
But the glitz and glamour of Sweetbrier hides dark secrets. Team Helsing soon learns that this weekend is actually a rematch for the never-finished final season of The Escape Game – in more ways than one. Because when the first body appears, it’s up to Team Helsing to solve the murder. That is, if the killer doesn’t come for them next . . .
From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss comes a pulse-pounding sequel to The Escape Game, with betrayals that cut even deeper, puzzles that test even the sharpest minds – and another cold-blooded killer on the loose.
