About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a compact and mysterious adventure with Unlock!: Short Adventures – Schrödinger's Cat! This is the 'pocket' version of the acclaimed Unlock! series, perfect for a quick dose of escape room fun. In 30 to 45 minutes, you and your friends (or just you, if you enjoy a solo challenge!) will dive into a cooperative enigma, where the goal is to unravel the whereabouts of the famous Schrödinger's Cat, lost in a very strange universe. The game is a race against time, using a 30-card deck that serves as the scenario and objects of your mystery. You'll need to search for clues, combine items, and solve visual and auditory puzzles to progress. The big differentiator of Unlock! is the use of a free companion app, available for Android and iOS. It not only controls the timer, adding that real-time tension, but also provides clues, verifies your solutions, and creates an immersive atmosphere with specific music and sound effects for the adventure. Be careful, as the app can also apply penalties for mistakes! With a medium difficulty level (2 out of 3), Schrödinger's Cat is a great choice for both seasoned Unlock! players and newcomers who want to experience the thrill of an escape room at the table. It's an interactive experience that blends the tangible nature of cards with smartphone technology, ensuring the search for the lost feline is electrifying from start to finish.
