The Traitor Game




A twisty, thrilling sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling murder mystery The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss.

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.
