## Description
Pack your bags and sharpen your wits because you've just landed in a bit of a mess! In 'The Tonipal's Treasure', the goal is simple on paper but tense in practice: find Captain Smith's legendary treasure on the mysterious Tonipal Island. The catch? You start the adventure in the worst way possible — behind bars! To get your hands on the gold, you and your group will need to break out of the Governor's prison as quickly as possible. The urgency is real, as the famous treasure hunter Johnson is already on his way to the island and won't make things easy for you.

The game functions as a tabletop 'Escape Room'. Forget complex boards; everything happens through a deck of 60 cards. The dynamics are purely cooperative: you must analyze images, combine objects, and decipher riddles together. See an object on card 10 and another on card 25? Try combining them to see if something new appears! It's the kind of game that makes you feel like a detective, where every visual detail could be the key to the next clue.

To keep the pace, the free Unlock! companion app comes into play. It doesn't replace the game but acts as the 'Game Master': it controls the timer, confirms if the code you entered is correct, and if the group gets completely stuck, it offers hints so the fun doesn't stop. You have exactly 60 minutes to solve everything. If you can crack the mysteries and open the final door before time runs out, victory is yours. It's an intense, fast-paced experience, perfect for those who love testing logic and group communication under pressure.

### Can I play solo?
Absolutely. The game supports 1 to 6 players, though playing in a group makes the puzzle discussions more fun.

### How long does a game last?
