Read the full game description

EXIT: The Game – Prison Break is a one-shot cooperative escape-room game built around two separated teams. Players begin in different cells with different information and must communicate discoveries, combine physical materials, and solve linked riddles to open the path to freedom. Like other advanced EXIT titles, components may be folded, written on, or cut as the group works through the case. The split start makes clear communication as important as deduction, and the full experience is intended for a single suspenseful session.
