About this game
Unlock! Heroic Adventures packs three entire escape rooms into a deck of cards: team up with Sherlock Holmes on a bizarre case, tumble down the rabbit hole to rescue Alice, or fight your way through a retro video game before Game Over hits. A companion app quietly runs the show, feeding clues, checking codes and counting down the clock, so you never need a game master, just a table, some cards and sixty focused minutes. You search scenes, combine objects and chain riddles together, and the satisfaction of a solved puzzle hits exactly like a real escape room. Best with two, though it scales up to six, and it plays solo just as well.
