Unlock! Escape Adventures
An escape room that fits in a box of cards and one free phone app.
What it is
Flip cards to explore a scene, put objects together and work out the riddles while the clock runs. The box holds three separate adventures, including a secret laboratory and a scheming professor's plot. A free app gives hints, checks codes and tracks your time. Best for two to six puzzle fans who like a shared hour under pressure.
What we love
- A ten-card tutorial teaches the system without a rulebook
- Three adventures in one box, each a fresh set of puzzles
- The app needs no internet once it is downloaded
Honest trade-offs
- Each adventure works only once, since the answers stay in your head
- You need a phone or tablet nearby to play
- Large groups can crowd around a small spread of cards
- This first box is listed as not distributed in the US, so check that a copy can be bought.
