"Conspiracies abound in this surreal and yet all-too-real technothriller, detailing an underground alternate reality game, set in the same world as the popular Rabbits podcast. Rabbits is a secret, dangerous, and occasionally fatal underground alternate reality game, where the prizes are unclear but may involve vast sums of money, NSA or CIA recruitment, or perhaps even the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe itself. Since the game first started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. No one knows the true identity of these winners--just their now-famous user names. And everyone is waiting for the eleventh round to begin. K is an expert on the game, although he's never played it himself. He runs information sessions for amateurs at an historic, grungy arcade. But when he is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio--the alleged winner of the sixth iteration--his world is turned upside down. Because Scarpio wants his help fixing the game, which he claims has become corrupted. And if the eleventh iteration begins before the game is repaired, he claims, all hell will break loose. Soon K is in way over his head, chasing down a myserious rabbit hole that is getting stranger and twistier and more perilous by the day. Because, as it happens, he blows the deadline, Eleven begins...and suddenly there is far more than just his own life at risk..."--

Rabbits

Faced with the almost certain destruction of the multiverse, two loners must locate—and save—the dangerous and mysterious underground game Rabbits, set in the world of the hit podcast, and directly following the events of the novel. The lore and legends around the mysterious alternate reality game deepen and gain new dimensions in this sequel to Rabbits, as a Rabbits afficionado named Emily Connors suddenly finds herself trapped in a reality where the game does not exist. At all. Except...why do these mysterious figures keep showing up to stop her every time she goes looking? Does Rabbits truly not exist, or is it being hidden? And if so, why? And by whom? Meanwhile, architect and theme park designer Rowan Chess is having the weirdest month of his life, full of odd conicidences and people who seem to appear one moment, then vanish from existence the next, with no trace they were ever present. The game that is hiding from Emily seems to have found Rowan—with a vengeance. But it is only when Rowan and Emily meet that things start to get dangerous, for together they uncover a conspiracy far deeper and deadlier that either of them expected. And one which could forever change the nature not only of the game, but of reality itself.

A Rabbits Novel

The Quiet Room

Deine Mitspieler: unbekannt. Die Regeln: tödlich. Der Einsatz: Dein Leben. Es ist ein normaler Arbeitstag. Du siehst auf die Uhr: 4.44. Du checkst deine Mails, und 44 ungelesene Nachrichten warten auf dich. Schockiert realisierst du, dass heute der 4. April ist – der 4.4. Und als du in dein Auto steigst, um nach Hause zu fahren, zeigt der Kilometerzähler 44.444 an. Zufall? Oder hast du gerade RABBITS für dich entdeckt? Seit vielen Jahren hat K keine Familie mehr und kann sich nur noch auf zwei enge Freunde verlassen – Chloe und Baron. Gemeinsam sind sie süchtig nach RABBITS. Niemand weiß genau, seit wann dieses geheime Spiel im Untergrund existiert. Wann endlich die nächste Runde beginnt. Wer mitspielt. Was der Gewinner bekommt. Doch diese eine Regel ist klar: Die Spieler dürfen nicht darüber sprechen. Und wer gegen die Regel verstößt, schwebt in Lebensgefahr. So wie ein berühmter Ex-Spieler, der K einen Auftrag erteilt und plötzlich spurlos verschwindet. Alarmiert schlägt K alle Warnungen in den Wind und fängt an, den Hinweisen zu folgen – ohne zu ahnen, dass die gefährlichste RABBITS-Runde aller Zeiten längst begonnen hat. »Eine Achterbahnfahrt voller Twists, die sich nahtlos von einer Schatzsuche zu einem Verschwörungsthriller zu einem Escape Room wandelt.« Kirkus Review

Thriller. Mysteriös und unvergleichlich: Ein Thriller so genial, dass es kein Zufall sein kann

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL • “A wild ride . . . impossible to put down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) It’s an average work day.

Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas. Since the game started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. The identities of these winners are unknown. So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to the secrets of the universe itself. But the deeper you get, the more dangerous the game becomes. Players have died in the past—and the body count is rising. And now the eleventh round is about to begin. Enter K—a Rabbits obsessive who has been trying to find a way into the game for years. That path opens when K is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio, rumored to be the winner of the sixth iteration. Scarpio says that something has gone wrong with the game and that K needs to fix it before Eleven starts, or the whole world will pay the price. Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing. Two weeks after that, K blows the deadline: Eleven begins. And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.
