About the game

EXIT: The Game - The Sunken Treasure is a cooperative escape-room-style puzzle game for 1-4 players, part of the beginner-friendly tier of the EXIT series. Players work together in real time to decode clues, solve riddles, and unlock a series of puzzle boxes and cards to progress the story. Since components are used up during play, each copy is designed for a single playthrough. It's an approachable introduction to the EXIT franchise's escape-room formula.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's editors love EXIT games as a low-cost, high-fun way to bring the escape-room experience home, and The Sunken Treasure is a great entry point for newcomers thanks to its beginner difficulty rating. The puzzles are clever without being frustratingly obscure. It's a fantastic one-off experience for game night groups looking for something different from typical board games. Just remember it's single-use once solved.
