About the game
Attention, adventurers! Get ready to dive into three breathtaking escape room experiences, all on your tabletop with Unlock!: Timeless Adventures. If you enjoy a good mystery and challenges that test your cunning, this box is a feast. Inspired by the famous escape rooms, this cooperative game invites you to unravel enigmas, combine objects, and explore scenarios using only cards and a super intuitive app. Forget the rush to set up a complex scenario; here, the magic happens with card interaction and the help of your smartphone or tablet, which serves as a timer, clue provider, and code checker.

Inside this edition, you'll find three distinct adventures, each with its own atmosphere and unique puzzles. First, we have 'The Noside Show,' where the mission is to prevent sabotage at the Diosen Circus, ensuring the show goes on. Next, 'Arsène Lupin and the Great White Diamond' transports you to 20th-century Paris, where you join the master of cunning in a quest for precious jewels, with all the charm and danger the character suggests. And to top it off, 'Lost in the ChronoWarp' challenges you to restore order to a completely messed-up timeline, helping a professor fix things before it's too late. Each scenario is a unique journey, full of twists and the need to think outside the box. The app not only manages time but also creates fantastic immersion with customized soundtracks and penalties, turning each session into a true race against the clock. Prepare your team and good luck!
