Unlock! is a co-operative 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.
Star Wars Escape Game uses the Unlock! game system to send you on three new adventures full of ships, droids, and action!
(1) An unforeseen delay
You are smugglers in the Outer Rim, facing danger and the unexpected every day. Today, while transporting expensive cargo belonging to Jabba the Hutt, you are intercepted by an Imperial Star Destroyer!
Imperial operatives impound your ship and confiscate everything in your cargo bay. You know it is only a matter of time before they take a close look and discover Jabba‘s hidden illegal goods. There‘s no time to waste. You need to break out of your cell, rescue your astromech and get hold off the cargo. Then all you need to do is recover your ship and escape!
Your objective: Escape with your astromech (co- pilot droid) and the cargo.
(2) Escape from Hoth
Echo Base, an important Rebel stronghold, has managed to remain hidden on the ice planet Hoth for some time. The hostile climate provides excellent cover and protection from the Empire- but you must always remain vigilant!
You head out on a routine patrol with your trusty tauntaun mount, a hearty creature native to Hoth. After an uneventful morning, you take a brief break to rest your tauntaun while you contact Echo Base with an update. However, due to heavy atmospheric disturbance, you can‘t reach them.
Your mission: Continue your patrol, explore the ice planet, and contact Echo Base!
(3) Secret mission on Jedha
You are an Imperial spy sent to infiltrate the Holy City of Jedha. An Imperial pilot transporting a crate of priceless kyber crystals crashed their Zeta- class cargo shuttle on the surface. You must retrieve the crate without alerting the Rebel scum Saw Gerrera or any of his lawless mercenaries on Jedha. There is an Imperial informant waiting for you on the surface with more details. Meanwhile, Imperial Command orbits Jedha in a Star Destroyer. They are within communications range and expect regular updates.
Your mission: Gather intel, maintain your cover story, and recover the kyber crystals!

Decent puzzles but was way too easy. The balance and difficulty felt way off compared to other Unlock! sets.

Solid Unlock! game, but not very innovative. I still had decent fun, despite the game being a bit easy.

Unlock is my favorite of the "escape room in a box" style games. Star Wars is my favorite movie franchise. The decision to purchase this took about 1/2 of a second. However, after playing these I have found that the gameplay was either too easy or more of the same if you have played the other games in this series. There were only a few times that I found the puzzles unique or that they gave me that "aha!" moment the series is known for. These are made for people new to the series with such low complexity. The theme is certainly there, but to my surprise, the music took away the feel of the movies. I recommend throwing on the movie soundtrack in the background and turning it off in the app. Even with all of my criticisms, I don't think that it is a bad game, just not one that a veteran of this genre will enjoy. 1/9/2021
