Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

7 questions
How many people can play "The Pharaoh's Tomb"?
The game is for 1 to 6 players. It works well solo and in groups, but the fun increases with more people trying to solve the mysteries together!
How long does it take to play?
The estimated playtime is 45 to 90 minutes. It's a race against time, so be prepared to think fast!
Do I need to know how to play other games in the EXIT series?
No! Each game in the EXIT series is standalone. You can start with "The Pharaoh's Tomb" without any issues.
Can I play again after the first time?
That's the catch: EXIT games are designed for a single playthrough. Some components are altered during the game (cut, folded, written on), which makes the experience unique but prevents replayability.
Is the game too difficult?
The difficulty is considered moderate. It requires reasoning and deduction, but the clues and progression are well-designed so that most groups can escape.
Do I need prior knowledge of Egyptian history?
No! The Egyptian theme serves as the backdrop for the puzzles, but you don't need to be an Egyptologist to play and enjoy it.
Is the game in English?
The BGG information indicates English as the primary language. However, localized versions in other languages, like Portuguese, are available.
