Exit Advent Calendar – The Magic of Christmas is a cooperative board game in the form of an advent calendar, where each day reveals a new puzzle and a piece of an unfolding mystery. Inspired by escape room games, it delivers a story-driven experience across 24 chapters.

Instead of chocolate, each door hides clues, riddles, and challenges. Players examine cards, interpret symbols, and solve logical puzzles to progress. Each solution unlocks the next part of the story, building toward a final reveal by the end of the calendar.

The experience feels very much like a classic EXIT game, but broken into smaller sessions. You can play one puzzle per day throughout December or combine several for a longer game night. This flexibility makes it easy to fit into different routines.

What sets The Magic of Christmas apart is its blend of festive atmosphere and clever problem-solving. It’s both a seasonal tradition and a cooperative puzzle experience, where teamwork and attention to detail are key.

It’s a great fit for families, couples, or friends looking to add a shared activity to the holiday season—something a bit more interactive than a traditional advent calendar.
