Kosmos's EXIT calendar for 2026, The Magic of Christmas, is an escape game told across 24 doors rather than a box of 24 gifts: the story opens on a winter hike, everything goes black, and you wake in an enchanted forest — a puzzle a day to Christmas Eve, for 24.99 EUR in Germany, the UK and the US. The one calendar built to be played across a table, which is why it is on the couples' page as well as the toys page, rated 4 out of 5.
4 calendars, 4 new for 2026, most of them 24 doors. Full stats
The 2026 Kosmos calendars, all four of them.
EXIT The Magic of Christmas 2026
24 doors · €24.99 on the box · rated 4/5
A 24-night escape story for one table rather than 24 things to unwrap, and the help book means a stuck evening is a hint away, not a ruined one. Beginner-rated, so a couple who has done the earlier EXIT calendars will get through the doors faster than the ten minutes promised.
Kosmos Die drei !!! Adventskalender 2026 Tanz der Diebe
24 doors · €25.79 on the box · rated 3.5/5
A properly built puzzle calendar for a nine-year-old who reads the series: one case, twenty-four clues, and a wall that shrinks. The gifts along the way are the unknown. Three and a half.
Kosmos Die Schule der magischen Tiere Adventskalender 2026
24 doors · €25.83 on the box · rated 3/5
A licensed calendar that leans on the licence: crafts and gimmicks with the magical animals, and a clever box. Fine for a fan, thin for anyone else. Three stars.
Kosmos Experimentierkasten Adventskalender 2026
24 doors · €30.96 on the box · rated 4/5
The German science calendar, and still the one to buy for an eight-year-old who asks why: twenty-four experiments that work in minutes and explain themselves. Four stars.
