But when a celebrated author of children's mysteries vanishes during the latest, greatest escape room she's designed with her aunt, one themed after the biggest unsolved heist in her small town's history, things get complicated fast.

Not only is the author missingand oh, maybe there's a ghost inside the escape roombut with reservations being canceled left and right alongside the police investigation, there's a chance Level Up might not survive. Riley will have to team up with her closest friends to figure out what's going on, and how all this might be tied to that same unsolved heist from twelve years ago. A heist that happened on the day she was born.

It's her greatest puzzle yet, and Riley Dare is on the case.
