Unlock! Epic Adventures is the seventh release of the series and features three new "escape room" scenarios that you can play on your tabletop.
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. The three scenarios are:
• The Seventh Screening – Grab your popcorn! Tonight, the horror movie "The Werewolf’s Final Night" premiers. Will you get through unharmed?
• The Dragon’s Seven Tests – The Gold Dragons temple welcomes every seven years new disciples. Be worthy of Mater Li’s teachings.
• Mission #07 – EAGLE, the secret organization, has been infiltrated. Agents, it’s up to you to identify the mole!

*** The Seventh Screening: 7.8 / 10 *** This one was ok. It had some new interesting twists for using the app (nothing like Mission #07 but still). The theme didn't really appeal to me, and some of the puzzles were trivial. But there are a couple awesome ones in there. So overall I would say that it is fun but not that memorable. *** The Dragon's Seven Tests: 7.5 / 10 *** Here the theme felt like there wasn't really much in stake. There was a lot of finding different keys for the same thing. The real-time element that really came out of nowhere was brutally hard to handle without any practice or easing in. We had some issues with the app during this one, which cost us a clue. Seems that we had already solved it correctly but the app didn't understand us. The last question was weird, because I was sure the answer we gave made the most sense, and even getting the answer I'd argue that our answer makes more sense. Overall this was fun but sometimes frustrating app stuff. *** Mission #07: 9.5 / 10 *** Theme was strong. Puzzles were challenging but clear (no fuzzy reasoning required). Great usage of the app (seriously took it to another level). Everything just came together in this one. I was impressed with the design in general. The characters, pacing, teamwork, thinking outside the box, etc. Overall, the best Unlock module to date.

"The Seventh Screening" : 8.5/10 - Good story that we felt like we were in. Mostly easy puzzles, just one that was a little strange and felt like a hiccup in the story. "The Dragon's Seven Tests" : 9/10 - Good story flow throughout, and fun puzzles in this one. "Mission #07" : 7.5/10 - Really mixed feeling since several puzzles were fantastic, but two puzzles were terrible and frustrating... There were more puzzles that we had to use some clues than I would have liked, and some that left me scratching my head after reading the clue or solution.

7th screening: rating = 7.5 (a solid offering - some fun easter eggs for children of the '80s - nothing wrong with it, but not a ton that was very interesting either) Dragon' a 7 tests: rating = 7.5 (not as much of a story here as with some, but enjoyable puzzles) Mission 7: rating = 8.5 (my favorite from this set - a good story and some deduction. The characters were a nice add, but only one really allowed a player to do anything special, so they didn't feel equal in terms of fun or engagement) Overall rating of 8 for set As a note, both 7th screening and 7 tests each have a place where you split into teams/work different parts of a puzzle. You can always ignore that working solo, but it does make for a different experience Also, Mission 7 says it's in 2 acts, but there's no pause between them. It's really just 2 distinct sets of cards used in sequence.
