Read the full game description

Choose one of three adventures, launch it in the free Unlock! app, and start the sixty-minute countdown. The team searches illustrated location cards for hidden numbers, combines red and blue objects, solves machine and code puzzles, and enters answers into the app for feedback, penalties, and hints. The Formula, Squeek & Sausage, and The Island of Doctor Goorse each deliver a distinct story and difficulty profile without destroying any components.
