🔓Unlock!: Timeless Adventures

Three scenarios, one app-heavy system. Some clever puzzles, some arbitrary penalties. Compared with EXIT, Unlock trades props for app interactions and loses some tactile magic.

A New Yorker story: stuck in a spy‑themed escape room, one player pulled out her phone:
“I’ll just ask ChatGPT.”
AI advice useless. They didn’t escape.

🕵️‍♂️ Now re-playing Unlock! Timeless Adventures
Had to remind myself how this works: combine cards, tap machines, enter codes, beat the clock.

i've been researching escape games for fun, and it's interesting to learn that japanese flash developers were at the forefront of this genre.

so i wanted to go beyond Crimson Room and see if there's any resources that could shine some light.

and uh, i found this massive website: www.no1game.net

🔐 EXIT: The Forgotten Island

Part of the second wave of EXITs after the Kennerspiel win. A few clever puzzles, but overall mid‑tier. On the easy side, so fine for beginners, light for veterans.

Love this concept: a cooperative escape room board game that rescues animals? Count me in! 🐾🔎

🕵️ Currently solving: Murder at the Motel by Hunt A Killer. So far, everyone looks guilty.

Plenty of power cuts today, so what better way to start the day than being cosy in bed with a latte, and a round of Voyages ⛵

We love these single-sheet print and play games, makes it super easy to play in different settings!

( Not our best scores, but we had fun 😊 )

🔐 Escape from the Museum

A tiny escape game with 12 puzzles. Most are simple (anagrams, mazes, crosswords), but the production quality is high and it plays fast. Not as creative as EXIT, yet simple, short, and satisfying.

🕵️‍♂️ Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective
Brilliant idea: maps, newspapers, directories, 10 mysteries.
In practice? Endless reading, best solo/2p
I’ve never cracked a case: it makes me feel outclassed, not clever.
