Vibe's take

Cozy detective-feel with kids pointing at cards and shouting what they spot. The adventures are short and gentle, so no one gets stuck for long.

About this game

A second box of Unlock! Kids, the card-based escape games for children, with six new adventures in three worlds: a stroll through prehistory, the mysteries of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt, and the Wild West of Golden City. It is meant for kids aged roughly 6 to 10 and needs no app and no rules to read, so you can start almost immediately. Together you look for clues, combine items and solve small puzzles to move the story along. Each scenario takes around 20 minutes, which is a good length for young attention spans, and one to four players can join in.
