About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to return to the magical Land of Oz! In this installment of the Unlock! series, you and your crew (up to six adventurers!) will have one hour to unravel secrets and escape a tricky situation. The mission? Visit the Wizard, meet some old friends, and, of course, face the Wicked Witch of the West. As is customary in the series, everything unfolds through a deck of 60 cards, where you'll need to hunt for clues, combine unusual objects, and solve a series of challenging puzzles. Technology plays its part with the Unlock! app, which manages the timer, offers precious (and sometimes crucial!) hints, and validates your discoveries. When the team pieces everything together and enters the correct code into the app, victory is assured, and the escape is celebrated! It's an immersive experience that blends the excitement of a board game with the adrenaline of an escape room, all wrapped up in a family-friendly and accessible adventure.
