Unlock! Heroic Adventures features three "escape room" scenarios that you can play on your tabletop. Unlock! is a cooperative card game inspired by escape rooms that uses a simple system which allows you to search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles. Play Unlock! to embark on great adventures, while seated at a table using only cards and a companion app that can provide clues, check codes, monitor time remaining, etc. The three scenarios are... "Sherlock Holmes" — The master detective faces a most bizarre affair and could use your assistance as he pursues his investigation. "In Pursuit of the White Rabbit" — Discover Wonderland and its strange characters, helping Alice to escape in time. "Insert Coin" — Complete the levels of a virtual adventure, and avoid "Game Over" to escape! Note: All three of these have been released separately in the German market in addition to the box set. Sherlock Holmes: Der scharlachrote Faden, Hinunter in den Kaninchenbau and Insert Coin
