EXIT: The Deserted Lighthouse — Jigsaw Puzzle Escape Game | Thames & Kosmos

Immerse your group in a stormy coastal mystery with EXIT: The Deserted Lighthouse. A sudden blackout turns a hopeful beacon into a race against the clock as the ship nears jagged rocks. Your team must ascend the lighthouse and reignite the light before disaster strikes. The tension is grounded in tactile puzzles, not a traditional board—four jigsaw challenges each hide further riddles to uncover the next location.

Gameplay unfolds with a decoder disk and a first set of puzzle pieces. As you complete each puzzle, you uncover secret locations and new items that must be used in the next riddles. Hidden within the four puzzles are interlocking challenges that reward careful observation, pattern recognition, and teamwork. The game ends when the last riddle is solved and the beacon is re-lit.
