What to Expect
You follow a narrative escape-room experience spread over 24 days: open one door each day, solve the riddle behind it and use the solution to proceed to the next day's door. The official description sets a snowy, enchanted forest with a mysterious transformation and festive details. The game blends cooperative puzzle-solving and deduction with ongoing storytelling that only resolves after all 24 puzzles are solved.
Who Is This Game For?
For escape-room and puzzle fans, families with older children (10+) and cooperative groups. The advent format suits players who enjoy a paced, day-by-day experience rather than single-session play. Prior experience with EXIT or deduction games helps but is not required.
How It Works
This is a cooperative deduction game with strong storytelling: each day you open a calendar door and tackle the puzzle behind it. Solutions lead you to the next day's challenge, so progressing through the sequence is required to reveal the full story. Mechanics listed include Cooperative Game, Deduction and Storytelling, with players combining clues to advance.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Inka, Markus and Emely Brand, it applies the EXIT concept to a serial advent-calendar format (Series: EXIT The Game – Advent Calendar). The mix of Cooperative Game, Deduction and Storytelling delivers a daily, narrative-driven puzzle experience as part of the EXIT line from KOSMOS.
