Published on 09/17/2026 at 07:09 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
EXIT Das Spiel Die verlassene Hutte folds a night in the woods into 86 cards, 1 book, and 1 decoder disk for 1-4 players ages 12 and up. KOSMOS describes it as an escape-room game for home play and says the box is meant to be played once.
What Comes In The Box
The English-language rules for the game list 86 cards, divided into 23 puzzle cards, 30 solution cards, and 33 hint cards, plus 3 strange parts, 1 book, and 1 decoder diskKOSMOS brand world page. The same rulebook says the goal is to escape the abandoned cabin as quickly as possible, and that the game ends when the final puzzle is solved.
The product page says the game is for 1-4 players aged 12 and up, with a 45-90 minute play time, and that it won Kennerspiel des Jahres 2017KOSMOS product page. The box is built around cooperative problem-solving, not score chasing or deck building.
US Price And Packaging
Target lists Thames & Kosmos EXIT: The Abandoned Cabin at $15.95, while Barnes & Noble lists Exit: The Abandoned Cabin at $14.99Target listing. Those U.S. retail pages show the same core package name and keep the game in the familiar $15 to $18 lane.
The Target listing names the seller as Thames & Kosmos, and the game sits beside other EXIT titles in the same shelf familyTarget EXIT game search. For U.S. shoppers, that makes the Abandoned Cabin entry the clearest standalone starting point in the series.
How The Cabin Plays
The cabin setup is spare but exact: a book, a decoder disk, cards, and a few unusual pieces carry the whole experience. KOSMOS also says the materials are altered during play, which is why the box is designed for one run only.
That structure sets a sharper pace than a traditional board game with a board, dice, and repeated sessions. The result is a compact co-op puzzle box that leans on deduction, code entry, and table talk rather than long-term campaign play.
Where It Fits Best
EXIT Das Spiel Die verlassene Hutte fits best as a one-evening cooperative puzzle for teens and adults who want a fixed 45-90 minute session. The combination of 1-4 players, a 12-plus age label, and a low retail price keeps it close to entry-level escape-room gaming in the U.S.
