About the game

EXIT: The Game - The Return to the Abandoned Cabin sends 1-4 players back to the cabin where riddle master Dr. Arthur Funbeq once trapped them, this time to help recapture him after his prison escape. As a sequel to the original Abandoned Cabin, this Difficulty Level 3 adventure packs in new puzzles and tools while celebrating five years of the EXIT series. Players work cooperatively, marking up, folding, and tearing components to crack codes and escape the scenario, with each copy playable only once. It's a satisfying single-use escape room experience for puzzle lovers.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team loves how this sequel rewards fans of the original Abandoned Cabin with new twists on a familiar setting. The single-use, consumable puzzle format keeps the tension and surprise high since nothing can be looked up beforehand. Difficulty Level 3 strikes a nice middle ground -- challenging but not punishing for newcomers to EXIT. A great choice for a cooperative puzzle night with friends or family.

What we like

  • Clever new puzzles that build on the original Abandoned Cabin.
  • Satisfying single-use, tactile escape-room format.
  • Difficulty Level 3 offers a good challenge without being punishing.
  • Cooperative play works well for both families and friend groups.

Keep in mind

  • Single-use format means no replayability once solved.
  • Best enjoyed after playing the original Abandoned Cabin.
  • Requires marking and tearing components, which some collectors dislike.

Who it's for

Perfect for puzzle-loving groups aged 12+ who enjoy cooperative escape-room experiences; best for 1-4 players in a single session.
