EXIT: The Game – The Hunt Through Amsterdam Escape Room Board Game

About this product

A missing Van Gogh masterpiece. A race through Amsterdam. One clever escape room mystery waiting to be solved.

A cooperative EXIT escape room board game for 1 to 4 players, ages 12 and up.

Track down a lost Van Gogh painting by solving riddles, cracking codes, and following clues through the streets and canals of Amsterdam.

Product Description

Your mystery-solving reputation has brought you to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. A clue has surfaced to a previously unknown painting by Vincent van Gogh, and the museum needs your help to recover it.

But you are not the only ones searching.

As the riddles begin, the investigation moves from the museum archive into a tense chase through Amsterdam’s streets, canals, landmarks, and hidden clues. Work together, study every detail, crack the codes, and recover the missing masterpiece before it falls into the wrong hands.

This EXIT game has no traditional game board. Instead, you uncover the game world through cards, sheets, strange items, and the decoder disk as the story unfolds. The manual confirms that players begin with limited materials and reveal new cards, sheets, and items only when the game instructs them to do so.
