A KOSMOS EXIT escape room game brings the escape room experience to your home. Instead of finding your way out of a room, one to four players work together to crack codes, piece together clues and make decisions as the story unfolds. But choosing the right edition involves more than picking a theme. The recommended age, difficulty level, number of players and how the game materials are used all affect whether an edition is right for your planned game night.
‘Ages 10+’ doesn’t automatically tell you how challenging the puzzles will be. A game for this age group may be labelled EXIT Beginner, while an edition for ages 12+ may be intended for EXIT Advanced players. Editions for ages 8+ are also worth considering if you’re playing with younger children.
Many editions are designed to be played just once. Cards and other materials may need to be folded, written on or partially altered. This creates a unique puzzle-solving experience, but once you’ve played through the box, it won’t necessarily be suitable for a second game in its original condition. If you’re buying it as a gift, it’s worth bearing this in mind.
Depending on the edition, the free KOSMOS explanatory app may offer a tutorial, hints or a timer. However, according to the product information, the games mentioned here can also be played without the app. A smartphone isn’t essential, but it can help with the introduction and timekeeping.
An escape room game for home works best when the recommended age suits your group. Editions for ages 8+ may be a good fit for families with children and teenagers. For more complex stories and puzzles, an edition for ages 10+ or 12+ may be a better choice. Check the recommended group size, too: several products are designed for 1 to 4 players, while the family edition is for 2 to 4 players.
Small parts may be swallowed or inhaled. The products are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. If scissors are needed, younger players should be supervised by an adult.
Beginner editions often include an introduction or tutorial, making them a good choice for anyone new to the series. Advanced versions usually call for more involved deduction and concentration throughout the game. The edition ‘The Hunt Through Amsterdam’ has an estimated playing time of around 45 to 90 minutes. The actual time will depend on the group size, experience and whether you use hints.
Depending on the edition, the game materials include paper, card and cards. In EXIT The Game, you gather clues, use decoders and fold, write on or cut materials as instructed. If you’re hoping to pass the game on afterwards, check first whether it can be handed over undamaged. On the other hand, a one-off game can be a good fit for a shared evening or as a gift for escape room fans.
