EXIT: The Game – The Haunted Roller Coaster (2019) puts you on the ghost train at the fair, until the ride suddenly stops and you're trapped in the scenery. You and your fellow passengers have to work together to get out of this horror ride as fast as you can. Like every EXIT title, it's single-use: you fold, write on and tear the components as you solve the puzzles. The box is labeled as particularly suited for novice riddlers, an introduction to this line of escape-room games. Expect a spooky-but-not-brutal evening for one to four, best at two, around 90 minutes.

Who it's for

You are new to EXIT-style escape games and want a fairground horror theme that is more fun than frightening.

Not for you if…

You want a game you can replay or pass on, or you're a seasoned riddler hunting for a brutal challenge.

Vibe's take

Playful spookiness with ticking pressure. You tear, fold and scribble through puzzles while the scenery looms.
