Unlock! is a series of escape adventures for up to six players. With one hour on the clock, players work through a deck of sixty cards as a team, searching for clues, combining objects, and solving puzzles. The free Unlock! companion app runs the timer while also providing clues, offering hints, and confirming successes. Once the team has reached a solution and entered the correct code into the app, they will escape and win the game! Unlock!: Mythic Adventures contains three scenarios revolving around these themes. • In the Clutches of Hades - You are Alix, a slave in Greece during antiquity. Gaining your freedom will not be an easy task unless you ask the Gods for help. • Professor Noside's Animal-O-Matic - "The Animal-O-Matic transfers you into the body of any animal. It's not dangerous, I'm telling you! Will you stop moving James!" • Around the World in 80 Minutes - "I made the bet with these gentlemen from the Reform Club that we will travel around the world in 80 days. Passepartout! Hurry! The world awaits Phileas Fogg's masterstroke!" —description from the publisher
