{"product_id":"exit-the-missing-hollywood-star-advent-calendar","title":"Exit: The Missing Hollywood Star Advent Calendar","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwenty-Four Days of Mystery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere between the glittering premieres and the velvet ropes of Hollywood's golden age, a star has vanished — and the clock is already ticking. Each morning from December 1st to the 24th, a new door opens to reveal a fresh clue, a puzzle to crack, or a piece of the larger mystery waiting to be solved. By Christmas Eve, you'll either have cracked the case or left a celebrity's fate hanging in the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Escape Room Hidden Inside an Advent Calendar\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKosmos is the German publisher behind the beloved Exit: The Game series — one of the most acclaimed escape-room-in-a-box franchises in tabletop gaming. This Advent Calendar edition wraps that signature puzzle-solving DNA inside a holiday countdown format, turning the weeks before Christmas into a slow-burn detective story. Rather than racing through a single evening's worth of challenges, the mystery unfolds one day at a time, building suspense and story alongside the festive season. The theme leans into classic Hollywood glamour — think missing starlets, studio intrigue, and clues hidden in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Crack This Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis calendar is a strong fit for families with kids aged ten and up, as well as couples or small groups who want something more engaging than a chocolate countdown. The puzzles are designed to be approachable — this is not a punishing escape-room experience — making it an excellent shared activity over breakfast or after dinner. It works beautifully as a gift for puzzle lovers, mystery fans, or anyone who finds the standard Advent calendar a little too predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe daily reveal structure is the real star here — each door delivers a satisfying mini-puzzle that also advances the overarching narrative, so there's genuine incentive to return the next morning. Kosmos has a well-earned reputation for clever, well-constructed puzzle design, and the Hollywood setting gives the artwork and storytelling a distinctive, atmospheric quality that sets it apart from generic holiday fare. It's a single-use experience by design, which means every puzzle feels fresh and unspoiled for the person solving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKosmos\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaily play across 24 days (December 1–24)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44701420388440,"sku":"82511743","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/s-l1600_a068a41c-b64e-4346-93df-15f5bbfb9b5d.jpg?v=1788374451","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/exit-the-missing-hollywood-star-advent-calendar","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
