About the game
Get ready for an intergalactic adventure with Star Wars: Unlock!, a cooperative card game that transports you directly to a galaxy far, far away. Inspired by popular escape rooms, this title uses an intuitive system where you and your friends must explore scenes, combine objects, and decipher riddles using only a deck of cards and a companion app. The app is your co-pilot on this journey, providing clues, checking codes, and, of course, keeping track of the ticking clock!

In this special Star Wars edition, you'll find three brand-new scenarios, packed with iconic ships, charismatic droids, and plenty of action. In the first, 'An Unforeseen Delay', you're a smuggler in the Outer Rim who, while transporting valuable cargo for Jabba the Hutt, is intercepted by an Imperial Star Destroyer. Your mission: escape your cell, rescue your astromech, and recover the cargo before the Imperials discover Jabba's illegal goods.

In 'Escape from Hoth', Echo Base is hidden on the ice planet, but vigilance is constant. During a routine patrol with your trusty tauntaun, you lose contact with the base due to atmospheric interference. The goal is to continue the patrol, explore the icy planet, and re-establish communication. Finally, in 'Secret Mission on Jedha', you assume the role of an Imperial spy infiltrated into the Holy City. An Imperial pilot crashed with a crate of valuable kyber crystals, and you need to retrieve them without alerting Saw Gerrera or his mercenaries. Maintain your cover, gather intel, and recover the crystals, while Imperial Command awaits updates from orbit. Each scenario is a race against time, requiring quick thinking and teamwork to unravel the mysteries and complete your missions.
