Unlock! Kids: Detective Stories

Players cooperate to solve three kid-friendly adventures modeled on escape-room puzzles, using only cards and a simple search-and-combine system. Each story sends the group into a distinct setting — a haunted castle, a barnyard mystery, or a chaotic amusement park — and tasks them with finding clues, using items, and working through riddles to progress. Designed for ages 6 and up, the game omits any app and includes a tutorial, story-specific cards, tokens, and a hints booklet to guide play. Sessions run through locating objects, combining them to unlock new information, and following solutions when players need help.
