From Alice's list on psychological/crime that feature disturbing games.
While this book isn’t strictly a domestic noir thriller like Gone Girl, it has a similar tone. Four Wall Street bankers find themselves trapped in an elevator after being told they’d be taking part in an escape room. However, the book is more complicated than that.

Don’t expect this one to be a locked-room thrill ride, but do expect to be drawn in.
From Sarah's list on for fans of Gone Girl.
