About the game

Unlock!: Escape Adventures - Squeek & Sausage is a cooperative card-based escape room game for 1-6 players, using a companion app for clues, timers, and code checks. Players search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles to stop the mad Professor Noside from destroying the world. A cartoon-style adventure and included ten-card tutorial make it easy to jump in without reading a full rulebook. Real-time pressure adds urgency as players race to escape before time runs out.

Hobbli's Notes

This Unlock! entry is a fun, accessible escape-room experience that plays quickly and needs only cards and a phone app. The cartoonish tone makes it a lighter, family-friendlier entry in the Unlock! line compared to some darker scenarios. Cooperative puzzle-solving encourages lots of table talk and shared aha moments. A great pick for groups wanting an escape-room thrill without needing a physical room.
