Unlock! is a series of escape adventures for up to six players. With one hour on the clock, players work through a deck of sixty cards as a team, searching for clues, combining objects, and solving puzzles. The free Unlock! companion app runs the timer while also providing clues, offering hints, and confirming successes. Once the team has reached a solution and entered the correct code into the app, they will escape and win the game!
Unlock!: Mythic Adventures contains three scenarios revolving around these themes.
• In the Clutches of Hades - You are Alix, a slave in Greece during antiquity. Gaining your freedom will not be an easy task unless you ask the Gods for help.
• Professor Noside's Animal-O-Matic - "The Animal-O-Matic transfers you into the body of any animal. It's not dangerous, I'm telling you! Will you stop moving James!"
• Around the World in 80 Minutes - "I made the bet with these gentlemen from the Reform Club that we will travel around the world in 80 days. Passepartout! Hurry! The world awaits Phileas Fogg's masterstroke!"

- i do think that the unlocked games are the best escape route styled you know games in the market
- professor no sides animal o matic is by far the best one it is and all of the no side ones
- it is constantly using it so yeah the uh professional site's animolomatic is an eight maybe a nine eight point five let's compromise and do it eight point five out of ten
- this one does have a set story as as you're going through and it does have a really good pace
- the special rule is that you actually will start subtracting numbers and when i read that i was like oh no this is going to be like autistic jesus christ we're not going to be able to do this
- it's it's a breath of fresh air a little bit
- out of all of them oh and around the world in 80 minutes i was in i was initially thinking a six out of ten because i was initially comparing it to the last two boxes that with their level threes which was the the 007 one the agent one and then the time travel one which are the easily the best and this one doesn't stack up to those
- i think this is a really good formula for a for a difficult one without being stupid hard
- i guess this is what they got for him because time stories the old the old stuff is all dead and hot garbage anyway so don't play that try the new time stories revolution
