How do Unlock Games work?
Each game takes you through a sequence of interactive cards. Read the story, explore the information on the card, look for clues, and find the correct answer. Enter the answer to unlock the next card and continue the game.
What happens if I enter the wrong answer?
The next card remains locked until the correct answer is entered. You can return to the story, examine the clues again, and try another answer.
Do I need to solve every card to continue?
Yes. Unlock Games are designed around progression, so you need to unlock the current card before moving to the next stage of the game.
Are all Unlock Games based on the same type of story?
No. The unlock mechanism can be used with different stories, themes, adventures, mysteries, and scenarios. Each game can offer a completely different experience while using the same basic idea of solving and unlocking.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Unlock Games open directly in your smartphone browser through a QR code or direct link. There is no app to download or install.
Can I play Unlock Games by myself?
It depends on the individual game. Some can be played independently, while others may be designed for two or more players to explore clues and solve challenges together.
Do Unlock Games require printed materials?
Not necessarily. Some games can be played entirely on a smartphone, while others may include printable materials or additional components. Each game page explains what you need before you start.
How long does an Unlock Game take?
Game length depends on the individual experience, the number of stages, and how quickly you solve the challenges. The estimated playing time is provided with each game.
Are all Unlock Games the same difficulty?
No. Difficulty can vary from one game to another. Individual game pages provide information about the recommended age, difficulty, and other important details before you start playing.
Are Unlock Games similar to Escape Room games?
Yes. Some Unlock Games can offer an experience similar to digital Escape Room games, using stories, clues, puzzles, and answers to move through the game. However, Unlock Games are not limited to escape scenarios. The same unlock mechanism can be used for mysteries, adventures, challenges, and many other interactive stories.
