Read the full game description

EXIT: The Game – The Circus Mystery sends an undercover team into Circus Spettacolo during its final performance. Players examine a mystery booklet, objects, riddle cards, and a decoder disk to uncover the link between the circus and a sequence of luxury-home break-ins. Progress depends on observation, lateral thinking, and manipulating the physical materials, including writing, folding, and cutting. Like other EXIT adventures, it is a cooperative, single-use puzzle experience designed for one concentrated session.
