About the game
Unlock! Epic Adventures brings three brand-new escape-room scenarios to the tabletop: a horror movie premiere gone wrong, trials at a temple of gold dragons, and a mole hunt inside a secret organization. Using only cards and a companion app for clues and timers, players search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles together in real time. It's a fully cooperative card game that recreates the thrill of a physical escape room without leaving your table. Each scenario is a self-contained one-time adventure playable in about an hour.
Hobbli's Notes
The Unlock! series remains one of the best ways to get an escape-room fix at home, and this entry's three varied scenarios keep things fresh. The companion app keeps pacing tight and removes fiddly bookkeeping. Just remember each scenario is single-use, so it's best shared with a group that hasn't played it yet.
What we like
- Immersive escape-room puzzles without a physical room.
- Companion app streamlines clues, hints, and timing.
- Three distinct and varied scenario themes.
- Strong cooperative teamwork throughout.
Keep in mind
- Each scenario is one-time use with no replay value.
- Can be frustrating for players who struggle with puzzles.
- Requires a phone or tablet for the companion app.
Who it's for
Escape-room fans and groups of friends or family aged 10 and up looking for a cooperative puzzle-solving experience.
