About the game
What you do in a play session
Embark on a breathtaking adventure in 'EXIT: The Game + Puzzle – The Deserted Lighthouse'! Imagine yourself drenched and exhausted, seeking refuge from a relentless storm. Suddenly, a lighthouse emerges from the darkness, but its light mysteriously goes out, leaving a ship adrift on a collision course with the rocks. The mission is clear: you and your friends must race against time to reactivate the lighthouse and save the vessel before it's too late. But, of course, it won't be easy! The path to the top is full of intriguing obstacles and complex riddles. This title from the acclaimed EXIT series innovates by replacing the traditional board and riddle cards with four 88-piece jigsaw puzzles. Each assembled puzzle reveals a new scenario and more mysteries to unravel. Starting with only a bag of puzzle pieces and the decoder disk, you'll discover strange items along the way that will be essential for solving the challenges. The difficulty is considerable (level 4 out of 5), promising an immersive and challenging experience. The game ends when the last riddle is solved and the lighthouse beacon is restored, ensuring the ship's safety. Get ready for a night of intense collaboration, reasoning, and fun!
