Wake County schools responding to reports of new Jeffrey Epstein-inspired video game

A video game centered around convicted child sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein may have been accessed and played by students in Wake County, school officials confirmed to WRAL Tuesday. 

The game in question, "Five Nights at Epstein's" is a survival-based game appearing to parallel another internet horror game "Five Nights at Freddy's."

WRAL's Alex Littlehales and Jaylin Jones talk about what we know about the game, the response from WCPSS and what parents should know.
