About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a cinematic adventure with 'EXIT: The Game – Advent Calendar: The Missing Hollywood Star'! You've just arrived at one of Hollywood's biggest studios, but something's off: the film set is empty, and the lead star has vanished. Now it's up to you and your friends to solve this Christmas mystery. This game combines the thrill of escape room games with the magic of an advent calendar. There are 24 little doors, each hiding a different puzzle. Every day, you open a new door, solve the riddle, and advance the story. The puzzles are creative and varied, from secret codes to visual brain teasers. The game is cooperative, so you can play solo or with up to 99 friends (yes, really!). The Hollywood-meets-Christmas theme adds extra charm, and the narrative will keep you engaged until the very last day. Just don't expect to replay it, as the puzzles are one-time experiences—the fun lies in discovering them for the first time.
