Join a team of five valiant animal heroes for a double dose of tabletop mystery featuring a child-friendly three-part solution disk and an approachable legacy puzzle engine designed for the ultimate cooperative family game night.
EXIT: The Game - Family - 2 Escape Adventures (published by KOSMOS) adapts the award-winning, mind-bending escape room formula specifically for younger sleuths and their parents. Moving away from the high-difficulty, claustrophobic themes of the mainline series, this larger-format box introduces a colorful club of animal superheroes on a mission to crack cases together. Instead of a single grueling map, this box contains two entirely separate, narrative-driven family mysteries—"The Mystery at Meanstone Manor" and "The Caper at Candy Castle"—which must be played sequentially as the team tracks down missing animals and uncovers a candy factory conspiracy.
The core challenge centers on an accessible, family-friendly puzzle matrix that still proudly utilizes the series' signature legacy mechanics. Players will need to use teamwork, logic, and a handy pair of scissors to physically fold, write on, and alter components to uncover hidden paths. Instead of the traditional numeric decoder, a specialized solution wheel utilizes symbols and child-friendly alignment markers to guide players to the correct answer cards. With a built-in, stress-free hint system to keep the investigation moving, it serves as a masterclass in approachable cooperative design, wrapping up each whimsical caper in a satisfying 45-to-75 minute session.
