About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an interdimensional adventure in EXIT: The Game – The Gate Between Worlds! You followed an ancient map to a mysterious cave, where you discovered an intriguing portal. Upon touching it, an unknown force pulls you into a completely new and bizarre place. Now, the challenge is to figure out how to get back home! This game is a cooperative puzzle experience, inspired by the famous escape rooms, perfect for a group of 1 to 4 players. The difficulty is moderate (level 3 out of 5), requiring everyone to work together, deciphering riddles and overcoming challenges that arise at every turn. Game time varies between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on your mental agility and teamwork. As with other titles in the EXIT series, this game is single-use: components like cards and maps are meant to be folded, written on, or even torn to uncover secrets. It's a race against time (literally, at times!) to unravel the mysteries of this new world and find your way back. Ideal for those who enjoy logical challenges, mysteries, and a good dose of adrenaline, all without leaving the comfort of home. Communication and collaboration are essential to unlock the portal and return to your world.
