EXIT: The Game Advent Calendar — Missing Hollywood Star | Thames & Kosmos

Immerse Your Family in a Holiday Mystery

From Thames & Kosmos, EXIT: The Game Advent Calendar blends the joy of a traditional Christmas countdown with the thrill of a mystery quest. You start as a curious courier at a world-famous film studio, only to find the set quiet, footprints in fake snow, and a gaping wall revealing more questions than answers. Each day unveils a fresh riddle that nudges you toward the next door, guiding your team deeper behind the scenes in search of the missing Hollywood star. The experience is designed to feel cinematic, suspenseful, and warmly shared with loved ones.

What makes this Advent calendar stand out is its 100% unplugged, card-based design. There are no screens to distract you—just cards, clues, and a narrative that unfolds one day at a time. The pacing is built around a 24-day sequence, so you can savor a little mystery each evening and watch the story evolve as you progress.
