Bookroo's summary
Visiting a quaint town's fall festival, the Alden children dive into a Halloween escape room adventure. But as eerie events unfold, what starts as fun becomes a chilling mystery. With their grandfather away, the siblings must unravel the spooky happenings that are scaring other guests. Can they solve the puzzles and uncover the truth behind the haunting? Join the Aldens as they navigate a maze of clues and frights, where every corner holds a new surprise. Will they escape unscathed, or is something sinister lurking in the shadows?
From the publisher
The Aldens are visiting a small town known for its fall festival, and while Grandfather is off taking in the fall colors, the children try out the town’s newest attraction–a Halloween escape room! The Aldens love solving the puzzles to get out of the room, and they don’t mind the spooky theme. The problem is, someone–or something–is making things downright scary for other customers!
