About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to soar toward Basgiath War College! If you're a fan of Rebecca Yarros' 'Fourth Wing' series, this game is your passport into the Empyrean universe. In EXIT: Das Spiel – Fourth Wing: Das erste Jahr, you and your friends aren't just players, but cadets facing dragons, intense rivalries, and deadly trials to survive. This is a classic escape room experience: you'll scour cards, flip through a puzzle booklet, and even manipulate strange physical components to find hidden clues. Remember how EXIT works? That's right, you'll use the decoder disk to validate your answers and, yes, you can fold, mark, or even destroy parts of the material to solve the mysteries. It's a one-time journey, so make every second count! The game is highly accessible, perfect for both escape room newcomers and veterans wanting to dive into the book's theme. If you get stuck, there's a great tutorial available via the free KOSMOS app to guide your group. It's the perfect challenge for those wanting to feel the weight of being a dragon rider without the need for complex rules, focusing entirely on fun and solving interconnected puzzles.
