Unlock!: Mystery Adventures
Cooperative, escape-room style scenarios played with decks of cards and a companion app that manages time, checks codes, and supplies clues. Players search scenes, combine items and solve riddles to progress through three standalone adventures: investigate a cursed manor, escape a damaged submarine, and race to uncover buried pirate treasure. Play requires the free app for setup and puzzle resolution, but an internet connection is only needed for the initial download.

Jan Solo7.5 Un buen juego de Escape Room de mesa. Quizá no es el mejor pero sí que funciona muy bien. El sistema de cartas personalmente me gusta mucho y en ocasiones es bastante sorprendente. Me transmite muy buenas sensaciones. LO MEJOR: La mecánica funciona muy bien y hace que no tengas que preocuparte de ella si no de descifrar las pruebas. La app está muy bien hecha. LO PEOR: Nula rejugabilidad, aunque una vez acabado es fácil venderlo de segunda mano.
Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do we have to play the Tutorial first?
Yes — the rulebook recommends playing the Tutorial first because it walks you through setup and the core mechanics, and it can be played even before reading the rulebook (p. 2, p. 7).
When a room or card shows a number or letter, what do we do — when can we reveal a card?
Any time a room card or any other card displays a number or letter, players must take the matching card from the deck (matching the number/letter on the card back) and reveal it face-up so everyone can see (p. 2).
How do I combine object values — can I add any two numbers together?
Combine objects by adding their red and blue circle values and then reveal the card matching that sum; the golden rule is that a red number can only be combined with a blue number (no red+red or blue+blue) (p. 4).
What are those blue “+” modifiers and how do I use them?
Modifiers are blue "+n" values that never match a card in the deck and must be added to a red number (following the golden rule) instead of using the modifier as a card number itself (p. 5).
What happens if we reveal a Penalty card?
Penalty cards instruct players to follow their penalty (usually losing a few minutes) and must be discarded afterward; in the app you press the Penalty button to apply and record the time loss (p. 4, p. 7).
How do codes and hints work with the app — what’s the keypad for?
Codes are 4-digit numbers you enter into the app’s Code keypad to progress and wrong codes usually cost time, while hints are obtained by pressing Hint and entering the revealed card’s number (or the number below a lettered card); the app provides the responses (p. 6, p. 7).
