Izzy Miller has grown out of family-game-night. As a mature and sporty twelve-year-old, playing boring board games with her family is not her idea of a good time.
But when her brainiac twin, Noah, discovers an ancient board game and casts the dice, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that freezes time and leaves the twins with a frightening choice – play or never see your family again.
To make it across the board, the Miller twins must face life-threatening (and yet eerily familiar) tasks involving a sweltering jungle swamp, a battleship at sea and a castle with a mystery murderer on the loose.
Will Izzy regret her lack of board game knowledge? Can she rely on her Einstein-like brother to solve the clues?
And what has the grinning skeleton got to do with The Game With No Name?
