About this product
Escape the cursed stone labyrinth before time runs out.
A cooperative EXIT escape room board game from Kosmos for 1 to 4 players, ages 10 and up.
A mysterious castle labyrinth, clever riddles, and one tense race to break the curse together.
Product Description
Step into the garden of a historic castle and follow the path into a towering stone labyrinth. At first, it feels like part of the tour. Then the sky darkens, the gate slams shut behind you, and something much stranger begins.
In EXIT: The Game – The Cursed Labyrinth, players work together to solve riddles, crack codes, use the decoder disk, and unlock the way forward before the curse traps them inside for good. The game has no traditional board. Instead, the story unfolds through the book, riddle cards, strange items, and the clues you discover along the way. The rulebook confirms that the game is for 1 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, and includes 85 cards, a book, decoder disk, and 13 strange items.
This is a great choice for families, teens, and adults who enjoy cooperative puzzle-solving, escape room challenges, and story-led game nights with a mysterious adventure feel.
Why you’ll love it
- A true escape room board game at home – it brings the tension, teamwork, clues, and satisfying “aha!” moments of an escape room to your table.
- Mysterious labyrinth theme – the castle garden, cursed maze, and gargoyle atmosphere give the game a darker adventure feeling without being too heavy.
- Cooperative puzzle-solving – players work together to solve riddles, crack codes, and move through the story as a team.
- Great entry-level EXIT challenge – with a difficulty level of 2 out of 5, it is a good option for players who want a clever challenge without jumping straight into the hardest EXIT games.
- Interactive components – the game uses cards, a decoder disk, a book, and strange items to make the puzzles feel more hands-on.
- Memorable one-time game night – because some materials may be written on, folded, or cut, it feels like a proper event experience rather than a repeatable board game.

Care & Maintenance
Keep the game components dry and store everything back in the box after play. Do not look through the cards, book, or puzzle materials before starting, as this can spoil the experience. Because this is a one-time EXIT game where some materials may be changed during play, check that everyone understands this before beginning.
