About the game
Unlock! is a cooperative 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. Unlock! Extraordinary Adventures includes three separate scenarios for you to explore: Restart (easy): Crearia is in shambles! Enter this 90's video game to rescue the royal couple and restore order to their pixelated kingdom. Hollywood Confidential (medium): Your boss, Jack Marlowe, P.I., has been abducted. Lead an investigation behind the scenes in Hollywood to crack the case. W.A.F.F.'s Odyssey (difficult): A signal from a distant planet suggests you may find some strange life forms there. Land your rocket on this unexplored world to unravel its mysteries! Note: Unlock! requires a free application to be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded, an internet connection is not required during game play. —description from the publisher
