Madok's Lost TreasureSociety Of CuriositiesEscape roomTabletopA neat little mystery-in-a-box. It was perfect for a little bit of puzzling on a Sunday morning - nothing to hard, and the web elements added a fun second layer of searching.
Unlock! Timeless Adventures: The Noside ShowSpace CowboysEscape roomTabletopA box of 3 escape game decks. This set uses unique mechanics for each "room" with mixed results. I really enjoyed the Circus (until the final puzzle), and the other two were a fun time throughout.
Unlock! Heroic Adventures: Insert CoinSpace CowboysEscape roomTabletopThis is the first set where Space Cowboys really begins stretching what is possible within the confines of an escape-room-in-a-box. Insert Coin and Sherlock Holmes both have some interesting new twists on the formula, and In Pursuit of the White Rabbit (the weakest of the set imo) still manages to pack a ton of surprises.
Unlock! Escape Adventures: The FormulaSpace CowboysEscape roomTabletopThe first box of Escape Adventures from Space Cowboys. This is a pretty solid set with three very different decks that represent gimmicks that the writers will iterate further on in the future. Nothing in this box is as wild as later sets, so it is perfect for beginners to these types of games.
Escape from the Two Base StationsSCRAP Co. / Real Escape Game - OnlineEscape roomTabletopA pretty neat escape room in a box with some interesting ideas around communication. I liked the setup for some of the later puzzles quite a lot, but the final puzzle had a trick that (at least for my group) felt a lot more frustrating than satisfying.
Unlock! Mystery Adventures: The House on the HillSpace CowboysEscape roomTabletopUnfortunately, the weakest of the Unlock sets I have played. The Nautilus' Traps feels too overtly punishing and has some puzzles that seem more random than logical. The House on the Hill is almost completely forgettable, besides a few frustrating hidden numbers, and the Tonipal's Treasure is just fine compared to the others, which is damning with faint praise compared to the typical quality of Unlock games.
