You’re an actor-in-the-making—well, at least in your dreams. In reality, you’re paying the bills delivering pizzas. When a delivery takes you to a sprawling Hollywood set, it’s a pinch-me moment. The sheer excitement of brushing shoulders with movie magic quickly turns into mystery, though. The set is eerily deserted, darkness envelops the soundstages, and then… a voice echoes from overhead. Someone—or something—needs your help to find a missing Hollywood star. And just like that, your average pizza run turns into an adventure worthy of the big screen.

The box, both the interiors of each compartment and the outer sections, features bold art that captures the essence of Hollywood. There are nods to plenty of nostalgic classics that had us smiling, but it’s no problem if you don’t know the films (it’s not required for gameplay, just adds extra charm and feels)! There were definitely some Dave recognized that I didn’t know, with enough variety to appeal to multiple generations. What stands out is just how much there is to take in. Every corner of the design feels intentional, and the layers of detail invite your imagination to wander. Some of the visual elements become vital to solving puzzles later on, while others simply enrich the world-building, leaving you wondering what role they might play. It’s the kind of attention to detail that makes the whole experience feel cinematic.

The structure of the game will feel familiar to anyone who’s dived into an Exit advent calendar before. You’re working through 24 puzzles spread across 25 compartments, accompanied by a storybook, a hint book, and tools like a decoder, puzzle cards, and a few surprise objects. You start by reading the day’s story, then opening the day’s compartment. The goal is simple: each day’s puzzle gives you a three-digit code that you enter into the decoder to lead you to a new compartment. If the symbols on the decoder match that compartment, you’ve got it!
We found that the game play to all run quite smoothly. The game pieces all stayed nicely in their compartments. (At least until we used them…we did find that it was best to paperclip some smaller “special objects” together or onto cards to keep them in their respective compartments after we’d finished that day; otherwise, some of those began to wander.) The decoding system also works very cleanly.

The puzzles in this box are rated for beginners, but that doesn’t mean they’re boring! Far from it. There’s a delightful range of challenges, from classic paper-based puzzles to moments that engage multiple senses. We especially loved when the special objects came into play—those moments felt like little rewards tucked into the experience. The game keeps you on your toes, blending observation, logic, and close inspection into a varied and satisfying mix. A magnifying glass and flashlight are handy to have on hand, especially for detail-heavy sections. The visual components range in size from tiny to…much larger! And there’s a certain magic in the way realizations hit: when something that’s been staring at you for days suddenly clicks, it’s a fabulous a-ha!

Unlike some of Exit’s other advent calendars, this story is not as heavily Christmas-themed - it is also a nostalgic stroll through many classic Hollywood movies. That’s not a knock against it—it only serves to make this adventure more flexible, playable any time of year - and by a wide age range! We tackled it as a duo and found it the perfect size for two players, though a small family could easily enjoy it too; they’d just need to be prepared to pass the box around more to see into the small compartments. The puzzles are approachable for older kids, making it a fun family activity. While the story didn’t grip us as tightly as some other Exit advents, we adored the Hollywood theme and the many nods to iconic films. The sheer creativity and variety packed into this box are incredible. These Exit advent calendars have become an annual tradition for us, and we can’t wait to see what they dream up next year!
