Alcatraz Escape Book, The
The Alcatraz Escape Book is a unique form of puzzle book, in which the reader must solve the riddles to escape the pages.
Framed as a traitor and a murderer and sent to Alcatraz as a result, you 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, you will quickly learn that the only means of escape will be from solving hidden puzzles using the code wheel left behind by the renowned criminal mastermind Robert Stroud, the famous Birdman of Alcatraz.
The Alcatraz Escape Book offers an immersive puzzle-solving experience. The combined talents of Melanie Frances and Charles Phillips bring this challenging adventure to life. Frances is known for developing interactive stories featuring games and puzzles. She is co-artistic director of interactive, digital arts organisation Produced Moon, having created a range of immersive and interactive experiences, including escape rooms and app-based audio adventures.
Charles Phillips is the author of more than 40 books, including the bestselling How to Think puzzle series, which sold more than 1 million copies and was translated into 18 languages. He also served as the editor of Biographic: Sherlock (Ammonite Press, 2018). Together, they authored the second title in this series, A Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: The Adventure of the British Museum (Ammonite Press, 2020).
This book features 40 illustrations, full colour throughout, enhancing the visual appeal and interactive experience.
