Exit: The Sacred Temple

Room-in-a-box, Jul 2021

EXIT’s puzzle games are endlessly creative within a very tightly defined format, and while the difficulty level and theming vary, once you’ve played one you know what you’ll get from another. Except that The Sacred Temple takes the range in a whole n… (more)

Exit: The Cemetery of the Knight

Room-in-a-box, Apr 2021

The Exit series of puzzle games keeps rolling on; the games follow a well-defined format and style, and at this point are definitely starting to blur one into another. On the other hand, it’s a format and style that works well and reliably delivers a… (more)

Exit: The Haunted Roller Coaster

Room-in-a-box, Jan 2020

Like its sister game House of Riddles, this comes with a low difficulty rating and a linear, one-puzzle-at-a-time structure. Also like House of Riddles, it mixes pages of story into the clue booklet. Perhaps Exit was concerned that they weren’t provi… (more)

Exit: The House of Riddles

Room-in-a-box, Jan 2020

I wouldn’t like to suggest that Exit are scraping the barrel for their theme ideas, but the premise for House of Riddles is simply that you’re in a house… full of puzzles… kinda like one of those ‘escape room’ things. Although to be fair, there’s… (more)

Exit: Dead Man on the Orient Express

Room-in-a-box, Aug 2018

Exit’s latest game is of course inspired by the Agatha Christie novel, and filled with nods and references to it, right down to the famous detective “Achilles Pussot” – who is missing in action, leaving the investigations to you. Fortunately it does … (more)

Exit: The Sunken Treasure

Room-in-a-box, Aug 2018

Each year brings a new crop of titles from the EXIT line of boxed escape games, a reliably polished product that faithfully follows their established format while managing to feel fresh and free from recycled puzzle ideas. The latest batch of boxes i… (more)

Exit: Huxley

Berlin, Nov 2017
