About the Game

A visit to the Florence Natural History Museum is derailed when an incredible adventure leaves you trapped inside, and the only way out is to unravel the museum's mysteries. Working together, you'll solve a series of riddles and puzzles, crack codes and combine clues — folding, marking and tearing the game materials themselves to reach each solution.

Exit: The Mysterious Museum is a cooperative deduction game for 1–4 players, aged 10 and up, that plays in one to two hours. With a difficulty rating of 2 out of 5, it's an approachable entry point for families and newcomers, and no app is required: every riddle, clue and hint is included in the box.

The game is part of KOSMOS's Exit: The Game series by Inka and Markus Brand, winners of the 2017 Kennerspiel des Jahres. Each Exit title is a standalone, one-time adventure with its own setting and difficulty, so this museum mystery can be enjoyed entirely on its own.

Rules of Exit - The Mysterious Museum

  • Set up: Place the riddle book, answer disk, hint cards and any riddle cards or unusual items on the table. Do not read ahead or peek at cards before they are called for.
  • Explore the book: Read the introduction aloud, then examine the museum booklet pages together for symbols, codes and odd details.
  • Solve each riddle: Combine clues from the booklet, cards and items. Some puzzles ask you to fold, mark or tear the materials, so this is a one-time adventure.
  • Check answers: Dial the three-symbol solution into the answer disk, then look up the matching answer card to confirm whether you are correct and reveal what happens next.
  • Use hints when stuck: Each riddle has hint cards that escalate from a nudge to the full solution, so you are never permanently blocked.
  • Win the game: Solve all the museum's riddles to escape. Your final score depends on how long you took and how many hint cards you used.

Strategy

  • Lay everything out: Spread all revealed cards and items where everyone can see them so no clue gets overlooked.
  • Share discoveries aloud: Describe strange symbols, numbers and patterns as you find them; another player may connect them to a different clue.
  • Don't fear the hints: Using a hint card early usually beats twenty minutes of frustration, and at difficulty 2 of 5 the game is designed for a relaxed solve.
  • Be willing to destroy things: If a puzzle feels impossible, consider whether folding, cutting or writing on a component is part of the intended solution.
  • Divide and conquer: With 3–4 players, let different people study different pages or cards, then regroup to test ideas together.
  • Check before you dial: Random guesses on the answer disk waste time and hurt your final score, so agree on a solution as a group first.
  • Keep used materials: Even solved components sometimes matter later, so don't discard anything until the game is over.
