## What is EXIT?

The second Escape Room experience from the exciting game series EXIT - The Game takes you back to the year 1837 to the legendary Greifenstein Castle.

The Countess herself has invited you to assist her as an expert. Neither the bumpy carriage ride through the misty woods nor the warnings of the locals can deter you. However, what is the truth behind the rumors that the Countess has not been seen for decades and that ghosts haunt the stone halls of Greifenstein? 
Once you arrive at the castle, the old walls will not let you go. Only if you pass the tests of the Countess and prove yourself worthy, you can free her—and yourself—from the castle and defeat the curse.

Go in search of the castle's mistress, examine her chambers for artifacts from your predecessors, rummage through the library for clues about the von Greifenstein family, discover mysterious relics in the castle courtyard, solve tricky puzzles in the family crypt, and even think outside the castle—and the game! The ghosts will help you decipher witchcraft recipes, open folios, medallions and caskets, or decipher the strange hourglass. Are you up to the task and can you free the Countess from her seemingly hopeless situation? 

- Prove yourself digitally as well: with the second app of the award-winning game series "EXIT® - The Game". 
- Save the Countess — and yourself: exciting Escape Room game with a completely new storyline
- Master the challenge alone: for one player
- The adventure awaits you: exciting mystery-puzzle adventure with twenty multi-layered, creative puzzles 
- Think outside the app: anything can be part of the game!
- Immerse yourself in the mysterious setting: an atmospheric soundtrack, hand-drawn graphics, and narrator audio set to music will transport you directly into the historical atmosphere of Greifenstein Castle.
- Are you ready? Age recommendation 12 +

An exciting adventure also awaits you in the mysterious Hotel Ophir in the Wichita Mountains: "EXIT - The Curse of Ophir" can also be found here on the store.

### 1/5 — Having trouble

*2026-06-29*

I find the puzzles challenging, which is fun.  However, I’ve gotten to the stage of chasing the ghost to open the hall door.  I can’t proceed even with all the hints.  I searched a walkthrough on line and can see from the accompanying images that I should be able to see the ghost with the adder stone.  I do not, so I’m unable to complete the sequence and proceed with the game. 
I’d like some help or a refund of my purchase.

### 2/5 — Huh

*2026-01-10*

Play tons of these games….  This one lacks intuitive feel

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-12-27, version 1.0*

This game was ridiculous.
You have to change your profile name?

### 3/5 — Not worth the money

*2025-11-29, version 1.0*

Game was fun definitely not worth paying $10.00 for it.   Specially when it won’t let me do the last puzzle.

### 1/5 — Skip it

*2025-10-25, version 1.0*

Game is not intuitive at all. Need to rely on hints to figure out what the game wants you to do. Waste of $

### 5/5 — Better than I expected!

*2025-10-06, version 1.0*

Our family is huge fans of the exit box games, and we were hesitant to buy the app version because we weren't sure it would be as good. But this is just as good and so much fun! I hope you make more!

### 5/5 — Worth the Time

*2025-08-08, version 1.0*

Every now and then I check to see if USM has put out another EXIT game… if you like 1st person, puzzle, escape room type, adventure games, it’s a must play

### 5/5 — Big Fan!

*2025-06-15, version 1.0*

I have not ever taken the time to write a review before, but I really support this game and want people to know how well done it is! I LOVE playing the EXIT games, and was a little skeptical about ordering this game due to past experiences with puzzle games for my phone. Other games that I have downloaded always disappointed me. They were easy, and basically always directed me to the answer, like there is only one way to proceed. THIS game, however, actually made me think! I love it! I had to use the help function twice when I got stuck, which I HATE doing, but goes to show how challenging this game can be (I’m really smart and good with puzzles for calibration 😊). I really like this online version because of the portability. I bought both available games and am saving the second one for my upcoming vacation. The graphics are really good, the story is par for the course, and the puzzles are engaging. The team at EXIT has definitely impressed me with this game, and I really jope that they make many more!!! And maybe develop one that can be played with several players? Maybe one that is a bit more challenging, I really like the 5 dot ones!!!!

### 5/5 — Bitte weitere Exit Games

*2025-04-29*

Die Spiele sind großartig bitte mehr davon !!!!

### 2/5 — Ridiculous!

*2025-01-29, version 1.0*

I like a challenge but this game borders on ridiculous. I had a hard time even with the answers. Good luck. I trashed it
