About the game
What you do in a play session
In a dystopian New London, where locks symbolize oppression and everything forbidden, citizens spend their days mastering the art of lockpicking. Four masters of this art have caught the attention of a mysterious figure, who summons them via an enigmatic strongbox. This is the setting for Triplock, an abstract challenge from Chip Theory Games that blends skill and memory. The game can be enjoyed solo, where you team up with a stranger to uncover the secrets of the Royal Company, or in competitive mode against another master lock breaker. The goal is always the same: decipher complex locks in a world full of intrigue. Matches are quick, lasting around 15 minutes. You choose your character, set up the lock, and draw a diagram that serves as a clue to its composition. Using two action dice and your character's unique skill, the objective is to discover the mechanisms hidden behind failsafes, aligning them to match the diagram's orientation. Sounds simple, but beware of your opponent's traps and countermeasures! In solo mode, the experience is equally engaging, with each character having their own motivations and talents, but all with intertwined fates due to the mysterious figure's proposal.
