Five Survive meets I Know What You Did Last Summer as six ex-friends race against the clock to survive a killer escape room. An edge-of-your-seat queer YA thriller from the author of How to Find a Missing Girl.
Seven players entered an escape room. Only six walked out.
On the one-year anniversary of her best friend’s death, Steffi receives an ominous invitation summoning her to a brand-new escape room in her small town in rural Tennessee.
Desperate to piece together what happened the night she lost everything, she accepts. But when she is reunited with her five ex-friends, Steffi soon realises everyone has their own reasons for playing the game.
As tensions rise and players are picked off one by one, Steffi has one hour to uncover their secrets or, this time, no one will escape.
