Two-Part, unplugged puzzle adventure
Descend into the gloomy catacombs beneath Paris and join a tense search for a missing friend. EXIT: The Game Catacombs of Horror is a two-part escape adventure in a single box, designed for cooperative play without any apps. Up to four players combine clues, crack codes, and navigate a labyrinth of puzzles as they work toward a hopeful, suspenseful escape. The experience emphasizes atmosphere and clever misdirection, inviting you to stay in the moment as the story unfolds through the puzzles rather than screens.
The pair of chapters offers a complete, self-contained journey that feels both cinematic and tactile.

Each chapter is roughly 1 to 2 hours long, accommodating a focused play session that fits well into an evening with friends or family.
