About the game

Unlock!: Mythic Adventures brings three mythology-themed escape adventures to the table, from ancient Greece to a wild trip in an Animal-O-Matic to an around-the-world race against time. Players work together through a deck of cards, searching for clues, combining objects, and solving puzzles while the free companion app runs the timer and provides hints. Enter the correct code before time runs out to escape and win. It's designed for one to six players in cooperative, story-driven puzzle sessions.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli continues to be impressed with the Unlock! series' clever card-and-app design, and this volume's playful mythological scenarios are a fun, accessible entry point for escape-room newcomers.

  • Three varied, imaginative mythological scenarios.
  • Strong cooperative teamwork focus.

Keep in mind
