EXIT: The Game – The Polar Station

About this board game

EXIT: The Game – The Polar Station is a puzzle game for 1–4 players with a listed play time of 90 minutes, modeled after the experience of an escape room.

An alarm has sounded in the eternal ice, forcing the polar station to be evacuated and foreclosed. In the confusion, a small group of researchers has been left behind by mistake, with only one hour to find the code needed to crack the station’s lock program.

Players face a tense race against time as they work through the mystery of the sealed station. The central challenge is clear: uncover the correct code before the lock program prevents their escape.

• Designed for 1–4 players
• A puzzle-focused game modeled after escape rooms
• A one-hour in-game deadline
• A listed play time of 90 minutes

The polar setting gives the scenario an immediate sense of isolation. With the station evacuated and its doors secured, every moment matters as the stranded researchers search for a way through the lock program.

Released in 2017, EXIT: The Game – The Polar Station brings the escape-room format to the tabletop. It is built around a focused objective, a remote setting, and the pressure of solving the station’s puzzles before time runs out.
