Unlock! Heroic Adventures features three "escape room" scenarios that you can play on your tabletop.
Unlock! is a cooperative 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. The three scenarios are…
"Sherlock Holmes" — The master detective faces a most bizarre affair and could use your assistance as he pursues his investigation.
"In Pursuit of the White Rabbit" — Discover Wonderland and its strange characters, helping Alice to escape in time.
"Insert Coin" — Complete the levels of a virtual adventure, and avoid "Game Over" to escape!

insert coin: great use of the camera VR-style; graphic design is coherant with the story but bad to look at... there have been better puzzles sherlock: very interesting use of the system to recreate a murder investigation. multiple paths open right from the start so following leads, discovering clues, coming back to previous leads is very well simulated. having the map and in-app index reminded me of SHDC. nicely done. alice: there are some clunky passages, and a lot of unused cards, I was not a big fan of this one. Not as hard as the 3-star rating suggests.

Superlative. Having played all the previous ones this collection was by far the best. Well written, clever with original puzzles and great themes.

Sherlock was an 8 out of 10 - interesting puzzles, very hidden/obscure clues (which feels appropriate for a Sherlock Holmes game), hints could be improved. One puzzle we couldn’t solve and the hint skipped passed a multi-step/card puzzle to give us the answer. A magnifying glass helped. Insert Coin was 9 out of 10. Very fun puzzles, good hints, but could use more hints. The game music becomes very annoying after a while. Helps to have prior Unlock! experience because it throw some curveballs at you. Alice was 8 out of 10. Very hard puzzles, but satisfying. It defies some core rules/expectations of Unlock! (or we played it very wrong), but once you get past that it's quite fun and challenging. Very good hints, however there are multiple points during the game where no hint was available. Our favorite three game set of Unlock! but they are all very difficult. Especially so if you haven't played the others.
