About the game
Unlock! Legendary Adventures 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: Action Story (easy) - The elusive Stella has stolen the world's most expensive gem! Stop her and take away her precious haul. Robin Hood: Dead or Alive (medium) - Robin has fallen into the clutches of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Call upon his companions to free him from the dungeon. Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Burnt Angels (difficult) - The most famous detective ever needs your help in solving a strange murder case.
