Unlock!: Heroic Adventures (2018)

About this game

Unlock! Heroic Adventures features three "escape room" scenarios that you can play on your tabletop. Unlock! is a cooperative card game inspired by escape rooms that uses a simple system which allows you to search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles. Play Unlock! to embark on great adventures, while seated at a table using only cards and a companion app that can provide clues, check codes, monitor time remaining, etc. The three scenarios are... "Sherlock Holmes" — The master detective faces a most bizarre affair and could use your assistance as he pursues his investigation. "In Pursuit of the White Rabbit" — Discover Wonderland and its strange characters, helping Alice to escape in time. "Insert Coin" — Complete the levels of a virtual adventure, and avoid "Game Over" to escape! Note: All three of these have been released separately in the German market in addition to the box set. Sherlock Holmes: Der scharlachrote Faden, Hinunter in den Kaninchenbau and Insert Coin

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
