Description
Times are hard, and life in your village is becoming more and more exhausting. One day, sailors tell you about Catan, a beautiful, fertile island full of lush nature and resources. You and your friends set off to explore the new land and build a better life there. In Exit: Adventures on Catan (Slovenian title: Exit: Dogodivščine na otoku Catan), escape room puzzles meet the world of Catan.
How to play Exit: Adventures on Catan
There is no game board: at the start you only have the decoder disk and a folder marked “Start”. In the pictures you discover riddle cards, new folders, resource tokens and strange items. Each puzzle has its own symbol. When you find a three-digit code, you set it on the disk under that symbol, and the disk shows you the number of an answer card. Only a second answer card confirms whether the code is really correct and takes you further. New in this game are nine “Catan Helpers” cards.
When you solve the last puzzle, the game ends. You earn stars based on the time you took and the number of help cards you used.
Why you will like it
- On the island you meet familiar things from Catan: lumber, brick, wool, grain and ore, the robber and the ram.
- The puzzles are spread across eight folders and twelve strange items, so you search everywhere.
- If you get stuck, the help cards first give you a hint, then a more specific one, and only at the end the solution.
- You can play it even if you have never played Catan.
Who is Exit: Adventures on Catan for
The game is for one to four players aged 10 and up and takes 45 to 90 minutes. The box shows a difficulty of 3/5. Players like it best with two. This is the Slovenian edition, so you don't need to know English to play it. Besides the box, have a pen, a pencil, an eraser, paper, scissors and a watch ready. The game needs a little more table space than other EXIT games.
What you might not like
Once you know all the puzzles, you can't play the game again, because you write on the components, fold them and cut them. So it may not suit those who prefer games they can come back to again and again.
