Unlock!: Exotic Adventures – Scheherazade's Last Tale is a board game released in 2019 for 1–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Al Hadîn and its main mechanics are Storytelling and Cooperative Game.
Scheherazade is in grave danger! She only has one hour to tell one last story to the Sultan, but she's out of ideas. The scribe she asked to help her come up with a story has gone missing, and she is begging you to find him and bring him back as soon as possible with a tale to please the Sultan. The princess' life may end in the hands of the executioner, so act fast! Scheherazade's Last Tale is an (medium) Unlock! adventure for up to six players. With just one hour on the clock, players must work through a deck of sixty cards as a team, searching for clues, combining objects, and figuring out puzzles to solve the mystery and escape the countdown timer. The free Unlock! app runs the timer while providing clues, giving hints, and helping players succeed. Once the team has reached the solution and entered the correct code, they've escaped, and the game has been won!
