After nearly winning the eleventh iteration of Rabbits, the mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas, Emily Connors suddenly finds herself trapped in a dimensional stream where the game does not exist. At all. Except . . . why do sinister figures show up to stop her every time she goes looking? Does Rabbits truly not exist, or is it being hidden? And if it’s being hidden, why—and by whom?

They still haven’t played Rabbits
Reviewed: 11-11-24
A common issue with the podcast and the books is that it never seems like they actually ever play a proper game of rabbits. This novel at least starts to touch on puzzle solving, and has drifted away from the constant nostalgic retro pop-culture name dropping of the first season of the podcast. It also improves in the aspect of a proactive protagonist, which was a major issue early in the Rabbits universe where the main character didn’t do anything on their own, but was just handed information by others. For a series about an alternate reality game, it would be great if they ever actually played it. But no, it’s always “corrupted” or “there’s something wrong with this iteration of Rabbits” and you end up with an entire story about people doing everything except play rabbits

Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas. Since the game started in 1959, 10 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 11th round is about to begin.

Suffers same problems as podcast

Just as in the podcast, the characters never really do much puzzle solving in a game that’s meant to be solved. Clues are just sort of handed to them from someone else who’s already done most of the work, without any indication as to how they ever got there themselves. Just once it might be nice to have a character actually play Rabbits, rather than the sense I might get if I started off Hunger Games on the third book. The whole “rabbits is broken” plot is a jump forward in time to a universe where there was already a couple of successful rabbits books.
