Description
From Dustin Brady, the best-selling author of Trapped in a Video Game, comes the second book in the Escape from a Video Game series—an interactive, twist-filled adventure packed with danger, puzzles, and more than 30 possible endings (plus a secret bonus quest!).
This time, you are dropped into a high-stakes challenge inside a video game. The rules? Survive to the end, and you’ll win a million dollars. But there’s a catch: someone on your starship isn’t who they seem. As crewmates begin disappearing one by one, it’s up to you to uncover the traitor before it’s too late. Fans of Among Us will love this space-age whodunnit!
More than just a story, this pick-your-path adventure keeps readers engaged with nonstop action, brain-teasing puzzles, and big surprises around every corner. Once you finish the main quest, the fun isn’t over: Track down every possible ending to unlock a hidden code and reveal a secret online story.
Perfect for kids who love video games (or claim they don’t love books), Escape from a Video Game: Mystery on the Starship Crusader is a fast-paced, screen-free adventure that builds problem-solving skills while keeping readers hooked until the very last page. Whether you’re new to Dustin Brady’s books or already a fan, this is one mission you won’t want to miss.

An intricate, well-thought-out adventure-mystery for young readers, packed with visual puzzles and reading clues that add up to more than 30 thrilling endings.

Escape from a video game is kind of a choose your own adventure book with a bit of mystery involved. My 10 yr old and I read this on an ebook copy and I think it would be more enjoyable in print format as trying to move from page to page just wasn't as much fun as flipping through by hand. The story is interesting but my son was not trilled, he said it was good but not great so with that we give it a 3 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC to read for a an honest review.

A great choose your own adventure type book with lots of action packed choices. The concept is great for building interest in reading for kids who get bored easily or don’t want to read really long stories. It will keep them engaged with decisions to make and puzzles to solve to get ahead.

This book was so much fun. We read it aloud with the whole family and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was a non-stop adventure and the kids absolutely loved feeling a part of the story and being able to choose. My son, who is a game lover, really loved the concept of feeling like he was gaming while reading. Excellent read.
