About the game

What you do in a play session

Brace yourselves for a full freeze-out! In "EXIT: The Game – The Polar Station," you and your team of researchers find yourselves trapped in a remote Arctic station. An alarm sounded, evacuation was ordered, but you were left behind by a hair's breadth! Now, with time running out against you (literally, as the game has a time limit), the mission is to decipher the station's secrets and find the code to escape before it's too late.

This game is a gateway into the world of tabletop escape rooms. It throws you right into the action, requiring teamwork, logical thinking, and the solving of a series of challenging puzzles. Every component, from the cards to the small objects, could be the key to unraveling the mystery. The beauty of EXIT is that it makes you think outside the box, often in unexpected ways.

It's an immersive and tense experience, perfect for those who enjoy a good mental challenge and collaborative problem-solving. The sense of accomplishment when you crack a tough puzzle or escape in the nick of time is what makes this series shine. Get your brains and your teamwork ready, because the Arctic waits for no one!
