About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready, folks! "EXIT: The Game – The Sinister Mansion" is another one of those breathtaking adventures that transports you straight into an escape room, right at your own table. Think of it this way: you and your friends are trapped in a sinister mansion and need to unravel mysteries, decipher codes, and use your brains to find the way out before time runs out. It's like a paper escape room, you know? This box is part of the third season of the EXIT series, which is known for bringing increasingly elaborate challenges. "The Sinister Mansion" is positioned at an intermediate difficulty level, so it's not for total beginners, but it won't make you pull your hair out if you already have some experience with puzzles. The deal here is that you'll have to use a bunch of components, tear cards, fold paper, and do whatever it takes to progress through the story. It's an immersive and cooperative experience where communication and collective intelligence are key to not getting locked in forever. Prepare your minds and your courage, because this mansion won't unravel itself!
