Exit: The Advent Calendar Reimagined!

Gone are the days when advent calendars were limited to simple cardboard windows and interesting chocolate shapes. The Christmas countdown has evolved, and here at Chaos Cards, we're thrilled to stock a huge range of calendars for every interest; from Lego and Funko Pop to Squishmallows and dice, and even a great selection of Pokemon Advent Calendars to check out.

However, a fairly new addition to our selection of Advent Calendars has swiftly become a firm favourite: the Thames and Kosmos EXIT Advent Calendar series! We've thoroughly enjoyed past titles like The Hunt for the Golden Book and The Missing Hollywood Star, and these annual mystery calendars are fast becoming a nice little Christmas tradition in the Chaos Cards office. It is just like being in our very own Agatha Christie novel!

This year there is a slightly Intergalactic theme to explore; so get ready to blast off for the holidays. Read on to find out more about the 2025 EXIT Advent Calendar.

The Intergalactic Race

This year, Team Santa needs help! You're invited to join the biggest competition in the cosmos: the Le Mond Intergalactic Race. For months, this 24-day spectacle has been the talk of the universe... Why all the fuss? Well, the winner of this amazing race gets to host the extremely lucrative annual Christmas party! Sounds enticing right?

This EXIT Advent Calendar is both an escape room-style game and an adventure story rolled into one. Here’s what you need to know:

• The Challenge: You must open a little calendar door every day. Behind each, you will find a new, exciting riddle. Only the correct solution reveals where your journey continues the next day!

• The Stakes: You have 24 days and 24 tricky puzzles to solve. Only by following all the clues and solving every riddle will you make it onto the winner’s podium!

• Quick Fun: Each task is designed to last about ten minutes—the perfect amount of time to fit into the busy Christmas rush.

• Family Friendly: Players aged 10 and up can jump right into the action-packed story, making this a great game to solve on your own or as a fun, daily family activity.

Pro-Tip: To succeed in the Intergalactic Race, you might want to keep some handy tools nearby, such as scissors, a pen, and a torch, these tools will prove invaluable to your detective work! (And don't despair, there's even a handy hint book for the days you find yourself a little more stumped than others.)

Why We Love This Calendar

The EXIT Advent Calendars are a huge hit among the Chaos Cards team, and this year’s mystery is no exception. We love the concept of cracking codes together, and the format is incredibly fun and different from other calendars out there. We really enjoyed solving the mystery of the Missing Hollywood Star last year, and can’t wait to get started on the Intergalactic Race this year!

Each EXIT Advent Calendar has a nice mix of logic puzzles, riddles, and abstract thinking challenges. One particularly fun aspect of The Intergalactic Race Calendar is that there is a gripping theme running throughout the calendar, with each day feeling like a new chapter in a thrilling adventure story. It’s a sure-fire hit with all fans of the mystery genre, and it's also a perfect, low-stakes introduction to the wider EXIT The Game range.
