EXIT® - The Game FAQs
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about EXIT® – The Game.
Whether you are looking for support on game content, gameplay, materials or other topics – this section will help you quickly.
What does "a unique gaming experience" mean?
What does "a unique gaming experience" mean?
This event game can only be played once, as solving the puzzles requires writing on, folding, and cutting the game materials. It is precisely this alteration of the materials that enables a particularly exciting, unique, and astounding gaming experience. At KOSMOS, we place great importance on producing EXIT® games in Germany. Furthermore, it is important to us that the materials used in EXIT® games and books consist almost exclusively of paper and cardboard, which supports environmentally friendly disposal.
Why can you only play each EXIT® game once?
Why can you only play each EXIT® game once?
Just like a real escape room, you can't play an EXIT® game a second time – not even with a different group, because you'll know the puzzles and solutions after the first round.
Why is the game material folded, cut, or written on?
Why is the game material folded, cut, or written on?
KOSMOS believes it's important for the "EXIT® – The Game" player experience to be as exciting and unique as possible. That's why we decided to incorporate puzzles into the game's story that require altering game materials. This makes the puzzles incredibly diverse and special, making them the highlights of every game. They provide a unique and tactile gaming experience that has not existed before.
Why doesn't KOSMOS offer replacement materials?
Why doesn't KOSMOS offer replacement materials?
In a game, only a portion of the game materials is altered, not the complete set. However, which cards and book pages are altered by the players varies from round to round. It is not always the case that only what truly needs to be altered is folded or written on. How the players proceed is unpredictable. Logistically, it is therefore not feasible to send individual customers only specific replacement parts of the game materials. Furthermore, it is not economically sensible to offer complete material sets through the KOSMOS spare parts service, as these complete material sets, plus shipping costs, would not differ in price from a completely new game.
Why is it not possible to download game materials?
Why is it not possible to download game materials?
We do not offer downloads of the data for reprinting and do not recommend
copying specific material before playing, as printed
or copied material would immediately be identified by the next group of players as something
that obviously needs to be changed during the game process. This would eliminate a large part of the solution process, the
"aha!" effect, and thus the fun of the puzzle. KOSMOS wants
to avoid this at all costs. We want to ensure that every
group has the maximum puzzle experience.
Can the materials be easily disposed of after use?
Can the materials be easily disposed of after use?
For EXIT® games, it is very important to KOSMOS that the games are Made in Germany, consist of almost 100% paper and cardboard, and that this material is completely recyclable. EXIT® games are therefore by no means less sustainable than most other games/toys/products on the market and can be easily disposed of with household waste.
What to do if parts are missing or game components are faulty?
What to do if parts are missing or game components are faulty?
Despite extensive quality controls,
packaging errors can occur even with EXIT® games. Of course, we will send replacements
for missing or defective parts. Click here for the "Service Center". Our colleagues in customer service will be happy to assist you with your request!
Is it also possible to play EXIT® with more than four players?
Is it also possible to play EXIT® with more than four players?
We have consciously decided to recommend a maximum of four players. The size of the game materials and the density of puzzles are designed for such a group size. If you want to play the game with more than four players, we would recommend playing two (identical) games simultaneously, with three or four players each, either as a challenge against each other or cooperatively...
