Brooks Ellis | 1 comments I read this book around 2014-2016. I vividly remember it having a somewhat shiny silver cover. These kids who were skilled in hacking and programming stuff were gathered by this one dude to solve a mystery game like thing. In the end the guy turned on them and they fought back. I also remember there being a interactive portion where you could go to a website that had some stuff. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Genius: The Game by Leopoldo Gout - Sarah's suggestion - sounds like your book.

Google Books preview: https://books.google.com/books?id=A3T...
There are slight different cover images.

Some Goodreads reviewers say:
- "... it was like a type of mystery type of book cause the point of the competition was to solve clues and get the answer so you can advance and on the book you can actually see the clues like lines of code that you have to fix or clues that can only be seen on a website that can only be accessed through scanning a QR code."
- SPOILER....
