Invitation to the Game


Title: Invitation to the Game
Author: Monica Hughes

Condemned to a life of unemployment and public welfare, Lisse and her fellow classmates, recent graduates of a government school, ban together for mutual support in the designated area (DA) to which they have been assigned. While there, they learn about “The Game” - an interactive cooperative treasure hunt - that gives them some purpose while attempting to survive the monotony, gangs, and hopelessness of their lives. Soon, playing “The Game” becomes the only thing worth living for, until the day they realize they are no longer playing a game, but have been given a new reality.
