Unlock!: Heroic Adventures – Sherlock Holmes: Der scharlachrote Faden

About this board game

Unlock!: Heroic Adventures – Sherlock Holmes: Der scharlachrote Faden is a cooperative escape-room game for 1–6 players, designed to be played in about 60 minutes.

In this peculiar case, you help the master detective Sherlock Holmes link the scarlet thread. The game brings the central idea of a live escape room to your gaming table, giving players a shared challenge to experience together at home.

Live escape rooms traditionally require participants to leave a locked room within 60 minutes. UNLOCK! recreates that cooperative experience in a board game setting, allowing a group—or a solo player—to take on the case without visiting a physical escape-room venue.
