Book cover of Race for the escape by Christopher Edge

When Ami Oswald arrives at The Escape—a new, supposedly impossible-to-beat escape room—all she wants it an evening of adventure for her birthday. But as soon as the game starts, Ami and her four teammates realize they may have gotten more than they bargained for. Now, the only way Ami and her friends can get out is by solving the mysterious riddle the Escape's Host has given them: Find the Answer, save the world. But the Answer could be anywhere, and in this game, a single mistake could be deadly. Because, as Ami quickly finds out, the danger in these rooms is very, very real.
