Some party games can be played countless times without losing their shine, while others are meant to be one-of-a-kind experiences that leave you with a night to remember. In the board game Exit: The Game, you’ll find a series of complex clues and entertaining riddles that provide you with an unforgettable gaming experience. While the board games in the Exit series can only be played once, one time is all you need to get the full enjoyment out of it.
The Rules of Exit
There are many different versions of the board game Exit, each of which has its own unique theme and escape room. However, each of these all come with a similar setup and gameplay that make it so that you can easily follow any of the games once you’ve gotten the hang of one of them. The basic setup of the game works similarly to an escape room, in that you must solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to make your way out.
Unlike a regular escape room, however, Exit is played with an imaginary room. Instead of using actual objects and being guided by a third party, you’ll have to use cards and different components to solve the puzzles and advance through the room. Every time you correctly solve a riddle, you get a little bit closer to freedom. But watch out for the clock, because you only have a limited amount of time to escape!
Players will earn extra points for solving the clues with fewer hints and in a short amount of time. However, the points are mostly for your own satisfaction, as each game in the Exit series can only be played once. This is because the game requires you to markup, fold, and tear the game materials throughout the game. If you’re a fan of Exit, you’ll want to get your hands on as many versions as possible to experience all of the different rooms.
In addition to the board game itself, you’ll want to include some writing instruments such as a pen or a pencil. You’ll also need some writing paper and a pair of scissors if you want to be able to take full advantage of the game components. Some of the clue cards require you to fold or tear them in order to find the solution, which is why the scissors can be helpful.
Different Versions of Exit
One of the first versions of the board game Exit is Exit: The Game – The Abandoned Cabin. This game thrusts you into a cabin that you’ve sheltered in for the night, only to then find yourself locked in with a newly placed combination lock. You’ll have to make sense of a mysterious spinning code dial and a confusing old book if you want to escape from this abandoned cottage.
Exit: The Game – The Secret Lab assigns the players the roles of subjects in a medical study who show up to the lab only to find it abandoned. Once they get there, they find steam coming out of the test tubes, which knocks them out for several hours. This enigmatic version of the board game forces you to use teamwork, creativity, and your own deductions skills to crack the codes and earn your freedom.
One more version of Exit that offers a unique spin on the game is Exit: The Game – The Pharaoh’s Tomb. This sequel board game takes on an Egyptian theme by getting you lost smack dab in the middle of a stone pyramid. After winding up in a mysterious grave chamber, players will have to use a sand-covered notebook and ancient spinning code dial to escape being sealed away forever.
Can You Find the Exit?
Each game in the Exit series is playable by 1-6 players, which means that you can enjoy solving the clues in a group as well as on your own. It’s suitable for ages 12 and up, as the clues might be a little too advanced for small children. Playing time lasts around 1-2 hours, which is good considering the fact that you can really only play the game once.
