About the game

EXIT: The Game - Advent Calendar: The Silent Storm turns the classic countdown format into a 24-day cooperative puzzle adventure. Each day you open a new calendar door to reveal a fresh puzzle that pushes the overarching mystery of the Silent Storm forward. Solve all 24 puzzles and you'll uncover the thief's identity: and save Christmas. Rated beginner level, it's designed to be accessible for 1-4 players, including solo play, across the holiday season.

Hobbli's Notes

A lovely twist on the EXIT formula that turns a single evening's puzzle session into a month-long holiday tradition. The beginner difficulty makes it approachable for newcomers or younger family members joining in, and the daily-door format builds real anticipation.

What we like

  • Unique day-by-day advent calendar structure builds anticipation.
  • Beginner-friendly difficulty welcomes newer puzzle solvers.
  • One continuous mystery ties all 24 puzzles together.
  • Works equally well solo or as a cooperative group activity.

Keep in mind

  • Single-use components mean no replay value once solved.
  • Full experience requires pacing the calendar over many days.
  • Individual daily puzzles are quite short and simple for veteran EXIT players.

Who it's for

Great for families and puzzle fans aged 10 and up looking for a shared holiday tradition, playable solo or in a small group.
