The inventor of the Exit-games: The puzzle master

It's that time again to Despair. "As soon as you see the hatch on the ground, only the true Code opens up." What is the hatch, which is the ground? A Code is far and wide not in sight. The trailer helps a little. "Now be smart and also smart, and above all: Watch!" Very funny.

It is these and many other puzzles, with Inka and Markus Brand currently have Germany as well. Your in the cosmos publishing since the fall of 2016 published the "Exit"game series has sold since then seven million Times. The unusual games for the market for the company. The "game of the year" comes in the very good years to 500,000 games. Most of them remain very far behind.

"I hated the puzzles, actually," says Inca Brand. You would have told her a few years ago, that you would bring as a mystery writer by far, you would have probably laughed heartily. But then she visits on St. Nicholas day 2014 with her husband Markus, the first Live Escape Room in Cologne. These are spaces in which you voluntarily include and then an hour has time to get out. The one creates by solving riddles. The couple fire is excited. In the same year in Stuttgart, Escape-Room of the cosmos publishing company is holding its Christmas party. The reaction is similar.

the son of The Handball national coach would rather make Board games

As the cosmos-editor, Ralph cross Furth at the Brands in Gummersbach is calling to ask whether or not you are authors for a Escape-Room-game, he immediately said Yes, told Markus Brand. "I didn't ask Inca times." He suspects that the topic might be a bit Large.

In the game industry apply the Brands as a unit. On all their Games, their names are together. This is not unusual. Almost all of the other games will always be invented only by an author. In 1999, the two get to know each other, at a wedding, you will be placed as the only Singles next to each other. As the Inca talk with your table neighbour, to games, is Markus noisy. You come into the conversation. Also, he is interested in Board games. It is played with Brands is actually more of Handball as a "settlers of Catan". Brands father Heiner Federal trainer. And The Champion Of The World. And German champion and so on.

But Markus prefers Board games. The handball games, in Gummersbach, actually, the first duty of a citizen, he has given one and a half "talent-free years" in it. "I'd rather have games," says the 44-year-old, Two-Meter man. "I believe that the many other children also."
