Unlock!: Mystery Adventures – The Tonipal's Treasure

A card-based escape adventure on a pirate island, starting in prison and chasing Captain Smith's treasure.

Unlock!: Mystery Adventures – The Tonipal's Treasure (2017) opens with you behind bars. You are hunting the treasure of Captain Smith, hidden somewhere on Tonipal Island, but the Governor has just thrown you into prison. You need to escape quickly, because Johnson, a famous treasure hunter, is also on his way to the island after the same loot. It is a cooperative escape adventure with sixty cards and a free companion app that runs the timer, gives hints and confirms codes, one hour on the clock. Search, combine objects and puzzle your way out, then chase the treasure. A swashbuckling pirate twist on the Unlock! formula for one to six players.

Who it's for

You want a pirate-flavored puzzle night with a clear story arc and a ticking clock.

Not for you if…

You want to replay the same adventure. Once the puzzles are solved, they are solved.

Vibe's take

Swashbuckling and brisk. You break out first, then race a rival treasure hunter while solving puzzles together.
