Escape Room: Game Zero by Christopher Edge

If you can't stop playing, it's not a game. Eden is on her way to an escape room party, when a huge murmuration of birds swoop ever closer... Suddenly, Eden awakes in The Escape - the most ambitious game ever created, but no one knows it exists. There she meets avatar, Ted, and
together they search for the 'keys' needed to 'unlock' this world and progress to the next level. As they travel through epic landscapes of forest, mountains and desert they face bigger and bigger obstacles and ever-growing danger. It seems The Escape is hiding secrets that not only threaten
Eden and Ted, but the entire world. And the only way to save all that they know and love, is to keep playing... Sometimes the only way to win is to break the rules. A thought-provoking story about the power that games give us to reimagine the world.
