4.2/5

reader rating · 449 ratings

The Escape Game is a YA murder mystery set aboard a reality TV escape-room competition, co-written by Marissa Meyer (New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles) and Tamara Moss (author of the Lintang series), published by G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers on April 7, 2026. When a murder strikes the popular game show The Escape Game, a new cohort of teen contestants must solve deadly puzzles while racing to uncover who killed Alicia Angelos — before one of them becomes the next victim. Critics called it "exhilarating, nonstop fun," praising both its page-turning pace and its rotating cast narration, while blurb authors Karen M. McManus and Lish McBride highlighted its sharp suspense and intricate puzzle construction. The novel is a strong fit for readers aged 14 and up who enjoy whodunits, escape-room fiction, and soapy reality-TV drama laced with genuine stakes.
