About the game
Unlock! Epic Adventures is the seventh release of the series and features three new "escape room" scenarios that you can play on your tabletop. Unlock! is a co-operative 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: • The Seventh Screening - Grab your popcorn! Tonight, the horror movie "The Werewolf's Final Night" premiers. Will you get through unharmed? • The Dragon's Seven Tests - The Gold Dragons temple welcomes every seven years new disciples. Be worthy of Mater Li's teachings. • Mission #07 - EAGLE, the secret organization, has been infiltrated. Agents, it's up to you to identify the mole!
