About the game
EXIT: The Game - The Abandoned Cabin is a cooperative escape-room-style puzzle game for 1-6 players, sealed inside a mysterious cabin that must be escaped by cracking codes, solving puzzles, and uncovering hidden clues. Using a spinning code dial and cryptic book, players work together, combining deduction and creativity to progress bit by bit toward freedom. Since components are used up during play, each EXIT box offers a single, immersive playthrough rather than a repeatable game. Its accessible puzzle design has helped launch the EXIT series into one of the most popular escape-room game lines.
Hobbli's Notes
The Abandoned Cabin captures that thrilling escape-room feeling at a fraction of the cost and without leaving your living room. The puzzles strike a nice balance of challenging but fair, with satisfying 'aha' moments as the group pieces clues together. Since it's a one-time experience, it's best enjoyed as a special game night event rather than a regular replay. A great choice for groups looking to try cooperative puzzle-solving together.
What we like
- Immersive escape-room experience playable at home.
- Accessible puzzle difficulty suits both new and experienced puzzlers.
- Great value compared to in-person escape room venues.
- Encourages genuine teamwork and creative problem-solving.
Keep in mind
- Single-use components mean the game can't be replayed once solved.
- Not suitable for players who have already seen spoilers or solutions.
Who it's for
Great for ages 12 and up, ideal for families and friend groups of 1-6 looking for a one-time cooperative puzzle experience.
