EXIT: The Game – The Venice Conspiracy

About this product

Venice is hiding a secret. Can you uncover it in time?

A cooperative escape-room mystery of hidden clues, coded locks and a conspiracy threatening Venice.

Work together to investigate a secret plot, crack three-digit codes and unravel the mystery before Venice is lost.

Product Description

Your days behind a desk at the Italian Secret Service are finally over.

When your first field assignment lands on your desk, you are thrown into a mysterious case that takes you straight into the heart of Venice. Hidden documents, coded locks and strange discoveries stand between you and the truth, and the fate of the city is now in your hands.

In EXIT: The Game – The Venice Conspiracy, players work together to investigate clues, solve interconnected riddles and uncover three-digit codes. Enter your solutions on the decoder disk to discover whether you are on the right track and reveal new information as the investigation unfolds. 

This adventure introduces cell phone cards that become available when you uncover specific times during the investigation, adding another layer of information to watch for as you explore the case. 

If a puzzle leaves you stuck, three levels of Help Cards — first clue, second clue and solution — can keep the investigation moving without immediately giving everything away. 

Can you uncover the conspiracy and save Venice?
