About the game

EXIT: The Game - The Haunted Roller Coaster is a cooperative, real-time escape-room card game where 1-4 players become trapped inside a stalled ghost-train ride at a fairground and must solve puzzles together to escape. Designed as a particularly beginner-friendly entry in the EXIT series, it introduces newcomers to the escape-room format through deduction puzzles built from cards, folded materials, and items meant to be written on or torn. Like other EXIT titles, it's a single-use game marketed for one playthrough per group. It typically takes around 90 minutes to complete.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team recommends this title as one of the friendliest starting points in the EXIT series thanks to its lower difficulty and spooky-but-light fairground theme. The single-use, destructible components heighten immersion but mean the game can only be enjoyed once per group. It's a great choice for a fun group night rather than a repeatable staple. Experienced escape-room fans may find it a touch easy compared to later EXIT releases.

What we like

  • Beginner-friendly difficulty makes it a great first EXIT game.
  • Fun, spooky fairground theme is broadly appealing.
  • Compact 90-minute playtime fits into a single evening.
  • Tactile components add immersion to the puzzle-solving.

Keep in mind

  • Single-use design means it can't be replayed once solved.
  • Lower difficulty may feel too easy for veteran puzzle solvers.
  • Components are consumed, so it can't be resold or lent afterward.

Who it's for

Good for beginners to escape-room games, ages 10+, playing cooperatively in groups of 1-4.
