About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare to unravel a dark mystery in "EXIT: The Game – The Cemetery of the Knight"! Legend has it that tonight's moon is at the perfect angle to find a legendary ruby, hidden within the tomb of Sir Reginald Wreston. The catch? No one has ever managed to get their hands on it. Will you and your team of adventurers have better luck? This game transports you into an escape room experience, where deduction and puzzle-solving are your best tools. You'll need to decipher clues, manipulate components (yes, some of them might be folded, written on, or even torn – don't panic!), and work as a team against the clock to uncover the cemetery's secrets. It's a race against time to find the treasure before it's too late. Since it's a 'one-shot' game, meaning it's designed to be played only once, the tension is guaranteed, and the sense of accomplishment (or frustration!) is palpable. Perfect for those who enjoy a good mental challenge and an engaging story, all from the comfort of your home. Gather your friends (or take on the challenge solo!) and see if you have what it takes to succeed where so many have failed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
How many players can play?
The game is designed for 1 to 4 players. It works well solo or in a group, but the experience might shift slightly depending on how many minds are tackling the puzzles!
How long does a game session last?
Expect to spend between 60 and 120 minutes unraveling all the secrets. The time can vary quite a bit depending on the difficulty you and your team encounter with the puzzles.
Do I need to know anything before playing?
A good grasp of English is recommended, as the game has a lot of text and the clues are crucial. You don't need to have played other EXIT games, but understanding the core mechanics helps.
Can I play again after finishing?
Unfortunately, no. The EXIT series is known for its components that are folded, cut, or written on during gameplay. That's the premise: a unique, disposable experience.
Is it very difficult?
The weight on BoardGameGeek is 2.8/5, indicating a moderate difficulty level. It's challenging but designed to be solvable with logical reasoning and teamwork.
Is it more like a board game or an activity?
It's a blend! It uses board game components, but the experience is more focused on the activity of solving puzzles and deciphering clues, much like an escape room.
