About the game

What is Unlock!: Game Adventures?

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! Game Adventures includes three separate scenarios for you to explore, each set in a different well-known board games universe: Mysterium: Enter the manor and experience a dark and surreal investigation in which you must resolve the murder with the Ghost's vision cards in a dreamlike and esoteric journey filled with mysteries... Ticket to Ride: Take a train trip across the U.S. in which you must thwart the scheme planned by the Rail Barons. Pandemic: An epidemic threatens humankind! Everyone's future depends on you and your team of medical experts (virologist, medic, dispatcher...) as you face a global health crisis. 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
