Unlock!: Mystery Adventures – The House on the Hill (2017) is an escape adventure built from a deck of sixty cards and a free companion app. For three days, paranormal activity has surrounded an abandoned house, and the trail leads to a passage from The Book of the Dead. Your team is sent inside to find the book and stop the curse. You have an hour on the clock, searching for clues, combining objects and solving puzzles as a team, with the app running the timer, offering hints and confirming codes. It is a card-based escape room for one to six players, with a horror flavor. Like most escape games, one run uses up the surprises.

Who it's for

You want a spooky puzzle evening for a small team, with a ready-made story and little setup.

Not for you if…

You want a game you can replay with the same puzzles. Once you know the solutions, the surprise is gone.

Vibe's take

Eerie and chatty. You flip cards, combine finds and race the app's timer while the group argues over clues.
