## What is EXIT?

With EXIT - The Curse of Ophir an exciting Escape Room experience awaits you!

Famous writer Tory Harlane has disappeared without a trace and you've been hired to find him! He was last seen at the Hotel Ophir, deep in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma, researching alleged haunted houses. There are many rumors about this remote place: rumors of a supposed city of gold, of unexplained phenomena, and also of a curse. And then there is this eerie comet in the sky, the appearance of which has sent a shiver down your spine – and not only yours. 

When you arrive at the Hotel Ophir, you quickly realize that something is not quite right here – and this place literally won't let you go. 

Go in search of the missing man, investigate the hotel for clues, discover mysterious relics, solve puzzles and unravel the mysteries of the Ophir that go far back in time. Can you solve the disappearance of Tory Harlene and escape from the hotel?

### 2/5 — The lobby safe won’t open!!!!! But thing is I 100% have the right code!!!! 😑

*2026-01-05*

I think the mechanics in the game are broken or something as even though I have the right code (like I’m 100% certain I have the right code. I’m sure bc I checked with the hints and I checked with the walkthrough forum online, I checked with a video play through… I did the exact same thing… AND IT STILL WOULDN’T OPEN!!!!! I could even tell you the code and how to put it in to prove that SEE: the code is 0826 and you put it into the safe in the lobby in the following manner: set it to 0 counterclockwise to 8, clockwise to 2, counterclockwise to 6… the safe is ment to open when you put that in and it just isn’t NO MATTER WHAT I DO) I am putting the code in correctly I know bc again like I said, I checked multiple places to make sure I was putting it in correctly, and the safe in the lobby just won’t open!!!!!!!! what sucks is that I was really enjoying it but then it decided that it didn’t want to work even though I have the right code and I’m putting it in correctly!!!!!! I’ve tried exiting and reloading the game!!! I’ve tried making a new profile in the game and getting to that point again!!!!!!! I’VE EVEN TRIED UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING THE GAME AND STILL NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT REFUSES TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the game devs are seeing this Please fix it!!!!! BECAUSE ITS A REALLY GOOD GAME BUT IF IT ISN’T GONNA WORK PROPERLY THEN I JUST CANT GIVE IT A GOOD REVIEW!!!!!…. I’m gonna try to report it as a bug somehow because it really sucks that the game isn’t working properly :(

### 3/5 — Okay, aber mehr auch nicht (mehr)

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.2*

Ich hatte zuerst die Prüfung des greifen gespielt, das ich sehr gut fand.
Nun noch vergleichbares gesucht und trotz „des Alters“ (des Spiels) nun dieses hier geladen.
Naja, für den Preis schon eine Frechheit. Meines Denkens nach sind manche Sachen einfach  „unlogisch“ - im „EXIT Game“ ergeben sie evtl. Sinn. Aber es ist auch einfach nur probieren/kombinieren,..
Es war halt der Vorgänger, dem sollte man sich bewusst sein.
Ich hoffe, die Entwickler nutzen den nun noch übertriebenen Preis, um ein neues EXIT zu entwickeln.

### 5/5 — Excellent App Version of the Exit Games

*2025-04-22*

I have played about 20 of the boxes Exit games, and this game was similar in the problem solving required. The game does a good job of ramping up the difficulty of the puzzles, and removing items once they are finished being used. The puzzles were usually straightforward to understand, but I did need help with a couple of them, so don't be afraid to use hints or go online to get support if you get stuck. Story was clever and interesting. If you enjoy the Exit games, and have done at least a few of them successfully, then I think you would enjoy the app version.

### 1/5 — Très déçue !

*2025-01-07*

Jeu beaucoup trop cher pour quelques énigmes tarabiscotées impossibles à résoudre sans les indices. On est à la limite de l’arnaque !. Progression très statique, seulement 3 ou 4 tableaux avec des graphismes très pauvres. Je regrette cet achat quand il y a des jeux équivalents à moins de 3 euros avec des énigmes bien meilleures et des graphismes beaucoup plus travaillés.

### 5/5 — ein tolles Spiel

*2025-01-01*

ein klasse Exitgame - geht auch ohne Schere und Falten. Die Rätsel sind knackig aber lösbar und die Geschichte hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Auch die Einbindung anderer Medien ist eine super Idee. Leider kann man die Musik nicht gesondert ausschalten. Das könnte verbessert werden. So dass man die anderen Spielgeräusche ohne Musik hat.

### 5/5 — Grandios!!!

*2024-11-03, version 1.0.2*

Das absolut beste Exit Game, das wir bisher gespielt haben! Geniale Features, geniale Wendungen, geniale Ideen, einfach top, bitte mehr davon! Hätte aber auch ein bisschen schwerer sein dürfen :) 
und genau wie im "realem" Exit Game, darf alles verwendet werden, ein Traum!

### 4/5 — Une énigme impossible à résoudre

*2024-10-06*

SPOILER 

Une des énigmes implique un site internet qui n’est plus actif

### 4/5 — Tolle Ideen, teils schwache Umsetzung

*2024-09-28*

Vorab: Leider ist eine notwendige Website nicht mehr verfügbar, wodurch wir das dazugehörige Rätsel mit Hilfe von Google/Youtube lösen mussten.
Abgesehen davon wurden wir durch ein interessantes Abenteuer mit teils kniffligen, aber auch teils sehr schwammig formulierten Rätseln geführt. Die Einbindung von technischen Mechaniken wie bspw. das Drehen des iPads sowie den verschiedenen InGame-Tools boten jede Menge Abwechslung und brachten nicht selten eine freudige Erleuchtung. Ohne nennenswerte Erfahrung mit beendeten wir das Spiel mit einer Ingame Bewertung von 8/10 Sternen (bei 3 Rätseln benötigen wir alle 3 Hilfen, teils aus Blödheit). Zudem war leider meist nur der letzte Tipp hilfreich.
Leider kaum Wiederspielwert.

Entwickler: Bitte stellt eine Alternative für die Website zur Verfügung (bspw. Einbindung einer Notiz im Spiel selbst o. Ä.); so kann man leider nicht alle Rätsel aus eigener Leistung lösen.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-09-02*

I’ve done all the Exit games (as a solo player) and I love that there are these two app games to continue the fun. They’re so well done.

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2024-09-01*

We’ve played most all of the EXIT board games. This was by far the best! It took 4 of us around 6 hours to complete over two sessions. Need more of these!!
