## Description
Imagine the scene: you and your friends volunteer for a medical study, everything is fine, until you realize the lab is strangely empty. Suddenly, a mysterious vapor starts emerging from a test tube, dizziness hits, and — poof — you pass out. When you wake up, panic sets in: the door is locked, and you're trapped in a place that seems to have been abandoned in a hurry. Your only hope? A notebook with some notes and an enigmatic code dial that seems to be the key to your freedom.

In 'EXIT: The Game – The Secret Lab', the mission is clear: get out of there before time runs out. But don't think it's just luck; you'll need a lot of creativity, teamwork, and sharp logical reasoning to crack codes and solve puzzles. The cool part is that the interaction with the components is intense, so get ready to fold, cut, and manipulate the cards and papers (yes, you will physically alter the game!).

It's an immersive experience that transforms your living room into a real escape room. You'll need to observe every detail, as the solution might be in the most unlikely place. If you get stuck, there are hints available, but the challenge is precisely to feel that adrenaline of 'we're almost there!'. It's the perfect game for those who want to test the group's synergy and see who the real master of deduction is. Just remember to have pens, paper, and scissors ready, because you'll need all of them to unlock the doors and escape this creepy lab.

## FAQ
### Can I play it more than once?
No. Since you cut and fold the components to solve the puzzles, the game is one-time use. Once solved, the mystery is over!

### Do I need any extra materials?
Yes! Have a pen, paper, and especially scissors on hand. Without them, you won't be able to solve several of the puzzles.

### Is it very difficult?
It has a medium difficulty level. If the group gets stuck, there are hint cards to give you a nudge without giving away the answer.

### How many people can play?
From 1 to 6 players. It works well solo, but the fun increases when more people are debating theories.

### How long does a game last?
Generally between 45 and 150 minutes, depending on how fast you are at cracking the codes.
