Six months ago, season four of the hugely popular reality TV show The Escape Game ended in horror when contestant Alicia Angelos was found murdered in the escape room on set. Now season five is underway, and new contestants are ready to put their skills to the test solving the show's trickiest escape rooms. There's Adi, the cryptographer; Carter, the math whiz influencer; Beck, the escape room enthusiast and wannabe game master, and . . . Sierra Angelos, the girl who got away with her sister's murder. Or so everyone believes. But Sierra's not just here to win. She's here for justice . . . and revenge.
As the contestants progress through the rounds, they begin uncovering clues that hint at the identity of Alicia's true killer: the stakes aren't just high in this competition, they're deadly. If these teens want to escape, win and survive, they must solve the biggest mystery of all: who killed Alicia Angelos?
A twisty thrill-ride, filled with sabotage, betrayal, and puzzles to die for. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and The Inheritance Games.
