EXIT: The Game – The Magical Academy (2023)

About this game

Magic formulas, elixirs, magical powers, and old books full of miracles and secrets — does this make your heart beat faster? But suddenly chaos breaks out: The poltergeists are wreaking havoc in the Academy of Magic! Now you have to unite your magic powers and all your knowledge about the magical world as a team to push back the little unwanted creatures... Exit: The Game – The Magical Academy is a puzzle game modeled after escape rooms, and it includes components meant to be folded, written upon, or torn, so it's marketed as a single-use game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
