About the Game

Setting sail in search of the legendary treasure of the Santa Maria, your expedition goes terribly wrong and you find yourselves trapped deep underwater. Working together, you must solve the riddles of the wreck, crack codes and recover the treasure to escape. Everything needed is in the box, including hints, and no app is required.

Exit: The Sunken Treasure plays with 1–4 players, ages 10 and up, over 60–120 minutes. Its difficulty rating of 2 out of 5 makes it a light, family-friendly introduction to escape-room games, built on cooperative puzzle solving and deduction. Like all Exit games, you mark, fold and tear the materials, so it can be played only once.

The game is a standalone instalment in the Exit: The Game series by Inka and Markus Brand, the escape-room line that won the 2017 Kennerspiel des Jahres. Each Exit title tells a self-contained story, so no other box in the series is required.

Rules of Exit - The Sunken Treasure

  • Setup: Open the box and lay out the decoder disk, game booklet, and card decks, but don't look through cards or book pages until the introduction tells you to.
  • Read the opening story aloud together, then follow its instructions to reveal your first riddle cards and materials.
  • On your turn: There are no formal turns — everyone works together, examining items, discussing ideas and solving each puzzle as a group.
  • Each puzzle's solution is a code (usually symbols or numbers); dial it into the decoder disk to find which answer card to check.
  • If the answer card confirms you're right, it tells you which new cards or pages to reveal, advancing the story through the wreck.
  • Stuck? Take a help card for that puzzle — the first gives a nudge, later ones give bigger clues or the solution.
  • Feel free to write on, fold or cut components when a puzzle calls for it — the game is designed to be played only once.
  • Objective and end: Solve all the riddles, recover the treasure and escape; the game ends when the final code is cracked, and your score is based on time taken and help cards used.

Strategy

  • Search everything thoroughly before reaching for a hint — most solutions are hidden in the cards, booklet or box components you already have.
  • Talk through ideas out loud and let everyone look at the materials; a fresh pair of eyes often spots what others missed.
  • Keep a pen and paper handy to jot down symbols, numbers and half-formed codes as you go.
  • Try help cards in order rather than jumping to the solution — the gentlest nudge is often enough to keep the fun going.
  • If the decoder code doesn't work, double-check you've read the symbols or dials correctly before assuming your answer is wrong.
  • Spread components out on the table so nothing gets overlooked, and group related clues together.
  • Don't worry about the clock on a first play — enjoying the puzzles matters more than a top score, especially at this lighter difficulty level.
