EXIT: Theft on the Mississippi – Detectives on a Steamboat 🚢🔍

A crime on board, and the clock is ticking. EXIT: The Game – Theft on the Mississippi by Inka and Markus Brand and Ralph Querfurth, published by Kosmos, is a cooperative escape room game for 1 to 4 players aged 12 and up, in about 45 to 90 minutes.

You step into the roles of detectives on a Mississippi steamboat. The captain needs your help: there has been a robbery on board, and the thief must be caught before they can leave the ship. Will you find the culprit before the boat reaches the port of New Orleans? Besides the usual riddles, this case has a detective twist – eight suspects, and the clues you uncover help you work out who did it. Work as a team to crack codes, combine clues and find the right solutions. Because you mark up, fold and tear the materials, the game can only be played once. The level is Advanced (3 of 5), so it suits players with some escape room experience. A tutorial and timer are available in the free Kosmos app, but you can also play without it.
