Description
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! Escape Adventures includes three separate scenarios for you to explore:
In The Formula, you enter a secret laboratory to recover a mysterious serum that has been developed by a scientist. Will you solve all the riddles and get out in less than an hour?
In Squeek & Sausage, you need to thwart the plans of the despicable Professor Noside!
In The Island of Doctor Goorse, you must visit the island of an eccentric antique collector billionaire and overcome its traps!
An included ten-card tutorial allows you to learn how to play without reading the game rules.
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.

Quotes (from this video)
- The first question I have for you this month is how do you feel comfortable buying a game on Kickstarter if you haven't played it?
- It seems like a gamble. Kickstarter is a lot less like a shop front or a storefront going to a board game shop and buying a game and much more like investing in an idea.
- My golden rule for Kickstarter is I wouldn't back any game that did not have a copy of the rules PDF available for you to read through.
- Long flight coming up? What are the best roll and right games small enough to fit on an airplane trade table?
- How long is too long to allow a retcon in a game?
- If you could only play mass market games, what games would you play?
- IP or no IP?
- I don't really love IPs on games but like everybody in the world if it's the IP that I really like I'm also much more interested in playing a game if it's got an IP that I like.
