The best KOSMOS "Adventure Games" games 2025

You enjoyed the EXIT games from KOSMOS, but the time pressure was too much? Then we have just the thing: The list with the best games of the Adventure Games series 2025.

What are the KOSMOS Adventure Games?

Explore places, combine items and experience exciting stories in Adventure Games, a series of cooperative games from German publisher KOSMOS. In each title of the Adventure Games series, players are presented with a mysterious story that they must unravel over the course of the game. Together, players explore locations, talk to people, search for clues, and combine various items to unravel the mystery of the story. Depending on the choices players make, the course of the story changes - and there's no going back!

Differences from the "EXIT: The Game" series

Unlike the cooperative "EXIT: The Game" series, the titles in the "Adventure Games" series focus on telling and discovering the story itself - without exerting time pressure. Still, many different paths can be taken during the game, with more than one proper story resolution waiting to be discovered. Each title consists of three chapters, each of which takes about 75 minutes to play. The game material is not destroyed, unlike the "EXIT: The Game" series, so the Adventure Games games can be played multiple times.
