About the game
EXIT: The Game - The Forgotten Island drops players onto a shipwrecked beach where a chained boat is the only way home, but its mysterious owner has scattered puzzles across the island. Working together, players decode clues, solve puzzles, and use included materials to progress toward freeing the boat and escaping. As part of the acclaimed EXIT series, it's modeled after real escape rooms but designed for repeated play at home. Each puzzle solved brings the team closer to unraveling the island's mystery.
Hobbli's Notes
This entry in the EXIT series delivers the same satisfying puzzle-solving thrill the line is known for, wrapped in a fun castaway theme. The escape-room format is perfectly suited to a single cooperative session with friends or family. Since components get used up, it's a one-time experience, but a memorable one. A great pick for groups wanting a self-contained puzzle adventure.
What we like
- Genuinely satisfying escape-room puzzles for a home setting.
- Strong cooperative teamwork makes for a fun shared experience.
- Compact box and self-contained format need minimal setup.
- Themed narrative adds atmosphere throughout the puzzles.
Keep in mind
- Single-use components mean it can only be played once per group.
- Puzzle difficulty may frustrate players unfamiliar with escape rooms.
Who it's for
Escape room fans and cooperative puzzle solvers aged 12 and up, best with 1 to 4 players.
