Unlock! is a series of escape adventures for up to six players. With one hour on the clock, players work through a deck of sixty cards as a team, searching for clues, combining objects, and solving puzzles. The free Unlock! companion app runs the timer while also providing clues, offering hints, and confirming successes. Once the team has reached a solution and entered the correct code into the app, they will escape and win the game!
1–6 players
Ages 10 to adult
60 minutes of playing time
The Unlock Series is fantastic, and by far the most enjoyable and reusable of all the games I have played there are multiple scenarios, (links below), and due to there complex nature they can be replayed if given enough time between plays (if your memory is not amazing)
They are also very cheap around $30AUD per game so for a group of 6 at $5 per person its a great deal, and they can play up to 8 players as we have before, but we recommend sticking with the recommended 6 players for the best experience.
