Mr. Lemoncello and the Titanium Ticket

The puzzles and games kept the story lively and engaging. I'm curious whether the author based them on real escape room ideas or invented them from scratch.

The jokes and witty banter made me smile, but I wonder if kids find the same humor as adults do. What parts made younger readers laugh the most?

It struck a perfect tone for middle-grade readers, but I wonder what the process was like to keep the story exciting without it becoming too intense or too silly.
