Unlock!: Exotic Adventures – Expedition: Challenger (2019)

About this game

A woman has come to your PI agency asking you to help track down her missing friend. He's gone missing, last seen on an adventure with the eccentric Professor Challenger. They recently returned from a lost valley filled with strange creatures, but Ned is still missing. Track down the professor and help bring back Ned to his friend! Expedition: Challenger is an Unlock! adventure for up to six players. With just one hour on the clock, players must work through a deck of sixty cards as a team, searching for clues, combining objects, and figuring out puzzles to solve the mystery and escape the countdown timer. The free Unlock! app runs the timer while providing clues, giving hints, and helping players succeed. Once the team has reached the solution and entered the correct code, they've escaped, and the game has been won!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
