⏳ Unlock!: Lost in the Time Warp

Most difficult of the box, throws too many options at once. More app-driven than usual (sometimes clever, sometimes annoying, looking at you, musical puzzle).
Time travel theme was interesting.

💎 Unlock!: Arsène Lupin and the Great White Diamond
Set in 1900s Paris during the Exposition. Consulting Detective vibe, but with Unlock! mechanics. Some clever puzzles, some arbitrary penalties. The setting and story pulled me in.

🎪 Unlock!: The Noside Show
Most puzzles worked and were easy, but a few felt like lucky guesses, and one solution stayed hidden even with the hint. The finale, building a tower of cards, wasn’t fun, just flat‑out impossible.

🎪 I ran through the Unlock! tutorial in about 6:30. Everything clicked back fast once I got going. Now starting "The Noside Show" from Timeless Adventures. Professor Noside is up to circus sabotage (that's what the box says).

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

🔐 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.

🔐 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.
