Read the full game description

Unlock!: Short Adventures – Red Mask condenses the app-assisted escape-room system into a thirty-card standalone case. In Mexico in 1811, players hide behind a vigilante identity while trying to free a loyal friend. Numbered locations reveal searchable objects, colored cards combine into new clues, and machines, audio puzzles, codes, penalties, and hints run through the free Unlock! companion app. The English edition includes two rule cards and is rated at the line’s highest difficulty, rewarding close observation and coordinated experimentation.
