The Alcatraz Escape Book is a unique puzzle book in which the reader must solve the riddles to escape the pages.
An exhilarating combination of an escape room, puzzle book and adventure story, this book is inspired by the urban craze for escape rooms and the history surrounding America's most infamous prison.
Readers will take on the role of Scott Wilson, a member of an underground US environmental movement called the Wilderness, who has discovered that a farming lobby is illegally using toxic pesticides to sell large amounts of land cheaply to corrupt politicians. There is enough evidence safely tucked away in a secret location to bring these criminals to justice, but failed sting operation leaves an FBI agent dead, and Scott framed for the murder.
Framed as a traitor and a murderer and sent to Alcatraz, the reader must escape the forbidding, top-security jail, recover the lost evidence and stop the pollution and land sale before it's too late. Surrounded by the most notorious, dangerous and unpredictable inmates, the reader will quickly learn that their only means of escape will be solving hidden puzzles using the code wheel left behind by the renowned criminal mastermind Robert Stroud - the famous Birdman of Alcatraz.
Includes:
- logic puzzles
- riddles
- timed challenges
- mathematical brain-teasers
- maps and mazes
Nobody has ever escaped Alcatraz alive, and with time quickly running out, the reader will have to find unlikely allies who can help them break out and aid them when they face the perilous waters surrounding the prison to escape the Rock.
Great fun -- engaging, innovative and completely immersive.
