Description
ONE ROOM. FIVE SUSPECTS.
THREE HOURS TO FIND A KILLER.
'An impressive debut' James Oswald
**************
WHO
A waitress. A cleaner. An actress. A lawyer. A student. Everyone is a suspect.
WHERE
In a locked room - with no escape, and no idea how they got there.
WHAT
In the bathtub, the body of a man they all knew. Someone murdered him. Someone in this room.
WHY
They have three hours to find out. Or they all die.
THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. THE GAME IS NOT
Imagine Agatha Christie had created an interactive Escape the Room game, and GUESS WHO would be the result. For fans of the DI Helen Grace series by MJ Arlidge, The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, Ragdoll by Daniel Cole, and Rattle by Fiona Cummins.
