I have no recollection of the book cover and any details I remember are very vague (sorry) here's what I do recall:

-small group of teens, probably friends
-in a house together (pretty sure)
-I *think* dice were involved in the game
-The game transports them to different eery locations and I think they have to find a way out
-At one point towards the end of the book they end up at a ghost town fairground (could be a circus but pretty sure it was a fairground)
-from memory I'm getting jumanji vibes but it definitely wasn't jumanji

That's all I've got. Sorry it's extremely vague I read the book years ago - about 7-10 years probably.

Thank you

Ellie, where did the teens find the game?

Note: Not Jumanji.

I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Hi, thanks :)

I don't remember where they found it I'm afraid... i keep thinking I've dreamt it up but I'm sure I haven't.
