Unlock! is an 'Escape Room' or 'Mystery Room' in a box. You must work together against the clock to solve the puzzles to escape the place where you are trapped or stranded. Unlock! contains three different scenarios, each offering a good range of brain teasers and challenges.
An app assists you in starting the game, also acting as a timer, and giving you hints if you are stuck in the game.

The rules in Unlock! are very simple.
If you see a number on an overview card, you may take the card and look at it. It's important to look carefully, as they can be well hidden.
Cards with different puzzle pieces in the corners can be combined. Add the numbers (e.g., Blue 22 + Red 63) from the cards together, and take the card with the resulting number. Some cards require solving a puzzle to find the number on the card.
Along the way, there will also be other puzzles that need to be solved. They might give you a code that needs to be entered into the app.
There are different scenarios in Unlock!, but the constant is that you are trapped and must collectively try to escape. The design and narratives in the scenarios are very different from each other, but common to them is that you must escape as quickly as possible by finding the card in the deck that lets you get away.
You start the game by reading aloud an introductory text describing your situation and how you ended up in it. Then the time in the app is started, and you turn the card you are instructed to in the text.
