Read the full game description

Work together through three self-contained Unlock! investigations: The Nautilus’ Traps, The House on the Hill, and The Tonipal’s Treasure. A compact card deck becomes each location as players reveal rooms, spot clues, combine objects, and submit codes. The free companion app manages the timer, machines, penalties, hints, and atmosphere without replacing the table’s puzzles. Nothing is written on or destroyed, so the set can be passed to another group after its secrets are known.
