About the game
Embark on a series of standalone adventures in which YOU will be the main character, during which to move forward you must solve mysterious puzzles to avoid all the traps and obstacles in your way. But beware! Only faultless logic and clever deduction will let you beat all the riddles and advance through the story. Will you be up to the challenge? Escape Quest is an adventure gamebook series born of a collaboration between Ynnis’ publishing team and Don’t Panic Games’ design team. It is the fruit of all our combined knowledge of game design and book publishing. Much more than just a “gamified book” or a “book-like game”, we put great care in conceiving each of those volumes - collaborating with award-winning game designers, authors and illustrators - to create an immersive, fun experience that is both a great book and a great game. SEARCH FOR THE LOST TREASURE The greatest explorer of the century, Sarah Edson-Taylor, sent you her journal just before her mysterious death. With it came a letter and a challenge. Her life’s work is at stake, and she doesn’t know whom to trust with her secrets. Perhaps she picked you for a reason. Her precious artefacts are hidden; will you be able to unlock the journal’s mysteries for the clues that will let you follow in her footsteps? Embark on a worldwide race of mystery and adventure and be the first to find the Lost Treasure! —description from the publisher
