EXIT is trying to recreate the feel of an escape room on our tabletops using a series of cards.
Players are trying to solve a series of puzzles and open the “locked door” of the room they are in, all as quickly as possible.
Players progress through the game with pens and scissors at the ready and routinely get fold, cut up or scribble notes on components. We got around this making a copy of cards and book pages in order to avoid throwing away the game once it has been played.
Unfortunately we had to cut 3 cards in "The Mysterious Museum" but we taped them together (see the picture) and this game is still playable
