About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking culinary adventure with Unlock!: Short Adventures – Secret Recipes of Yore! This is one of those escape room experiences that throws you right into the action, perfect for those who enjoy a puzzle challenge without any fuss. Imagine yourself trapped in a mad chef's kitchen, where the only way out is to create ingenious recipes under pressure. You and your team (up to six people!) will have about 30 to 45 minutes to work through a deck of 30 cards, searching for clues, cleverly combining objects, and solving riddles that will test your mental agility. The cool thing is that the game is fully integrated with a free companion app, which not only acts as your timer but also gives you a helping hand with hints and confirms if you're on the right track. Once you decipher the code and enter it into the app, your escape will be guaranteed, and victory will be yours! It's a lighter, more focused adventure, ideal for those who want to feel the adrenaline of a bustling kitchen and not be overwhelmed by the chaos. Oh, and if you're thinking of Sherlock Holmes, Ludopedia mentioned a different adventure with him in the title, but the focus here is gastronomic madness! Get ready for a frenetic pace and lots of team fun.
