About the game

EXIT: The Game - Advent Calendar: The Hunt for the Golden Book combines a cooperative escape-room puzzle experience with a 24-day advent calendar format. Santa's golden book of Christmas wishes has vanished, and players must open one calendar door each day to uncover a new puzzle leading them closer to the thief and the missing book. Following clues across all 24 doors reveals the mystery in full by Christmas Eve. Designed for beginners, it's an approachable, festive twist on the popular EXIT series.

Hobbli's Notes

A genuinely fun way to build holiday anticipation: doling out a puzzle a day keeps the EXIT format fresh rather than overwhelming. It's built for beginners, so seasoned escape-room veterans may find individual puzzles easy, but the format itself is the real draw.

What we like

  • Unique 24-day advent calendar format builds daily anticipation.
  • Festive holiday theme fits perfectly for the Christmas season.
  • Cooperative puzzle-solving suits the whole family.
  • Satisfying escape-room style puzzles for beginners.

Keep in mind

  • Single-use format: components are consumed and can't be replayed.
  • Requires playing daily to stay on pace with the calendar.
  • Puzzle difficulty may spike for younger children.

Who it's for

Great for families with kids aged 8 and up who want a shared daily countdown activity through December.
