Unlock!: Star Wars Escape Game Review - with Tom Vasel

[@matheusfonseca2826]

Had the same issue of entering coordinates backwards 😅

[@benjaminspears8488]

Would you say that they have a thematic and immersive story, or is it more just solving a string of puzzles?

[@vincenttremblay5266]

They should make Unlock sets based on classic Lucasarts adventure games. I would insta buy a monkey island or day of the tentacle one!!

[@Puzzu]

Sounds like fun! I heard it might be too easy but that's probably ok for just the experience of going through the story, will have to pick this up sometime.

[@BoxOfFear]

Are these the games that you can only play once? If so. Do you destroy the cards or can it at least be passed along to a friend after the one play?

[@thedicetower]

You can pass it on

[@manhogbear1086]

that was the first 69 machine i've seen in a dice tower video!

[@delirium83]

Is it only me or is the sound quality really bad? (Distortion and so on)

[@garys4067]

The sound was fine for me

[@logiclust]

dodgy mic cable is all

[@ex1stgames]

I heard some unintentional noise, interference, or something. But its a bit late to fix that now, I guess.

[@StalkinPanda]

As two avid Unlock players, the first two in this box were among our least favorite. There were just way too easy and not as original/inventive as some of the later boxes in the ‘original’ Unlock line. That said, for new players this set might hit the sweet spot.

[@pujsonja]

can you play without countdown?

[@Scopi]

This is coming out in the US?

[@ScytheNoire]

It's in Canadian stores, so I would assume it's also available in US stores. BoardGamePrices shows them as pre-orders in most US stores for release this month, and maybe Canada got them early.

[@markus30musik]

I wished the developers would make Indiana Jones Unlock! games......🤠

[@skinflutey]

I would like some new Indiana Jones games period.

[@AthexTube]

Star wars + Unlock! Together at last!

[@mihirshahisme]

I own every unlock but was going to skip this but oh man your review will make me buy it. :)

[@guybrushthreepwood9071]

I really want this to be good but most reviews of this one say it's mediocre and too easy for any experienced Unlock player so I'm going to skip it

[@jeffrhind175]

Sounds like you need to do Top 10 Unlock Games video!

[@hesy8049]

Funny. This was my least favorite Unlock set. Finished the whole box in 84 minutes. The ending of the second adventure was the most stupid thing I´ve ever seen in an escape room game. Some puzzles just repeat themself as if the game wants to check if you actually understood it the first time. A lot of puzzles just spell out the solution in BOLD LETTERS on the card itself. The second and third adventures don´t even transport the Star Wars feeling very well. The first one is just Star Wars in the wrong way. You play it for 3minutes and know exactly how everything turns out. Just a lot more generic than you might imagine. Apart from being the worst Unlock set, it´s also one of the worst Star Wars games for me. I would recommend it to families who really enjoy Star Wars and have never played this kind of game before. That could work. But for everyone who knows other Unlock games I would really advice to avoid it. There is one good moment in the set. But you need at least two people to enjoy it. The box says the game is for 1-4(or 6) players, which is actually a lie. There is no warning that you´ll need two players to enjoy the second adventure. Other Unlock sets did this and adjusted the game to player counts. Rated it a 2/10. Other Unlocks are between 7 - 10 for me. Interesting how opinions can differ :D

[@paulwhittingham691]

Played all the previous Unlock, and can say that these are easily the worst set so far (and that is from a massive SW fan) - avoid, you have been warned!

[@jasonbarebo]

Is there re-playable aspect to this game?

[@LeoCalvino]

thats my question as well

[@JordanKD94]

No

[@surnis9043]

You know, Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz aren't licenced. Both are public domain.

[@thedicetower]

Sure. But they are still intellectual properties.

[@cugal1613]

Worst unlock so far IMHO The third in the box..the most annoying ever. The map referred to is so frustrating. If you go here shot..lose a minute....if you go there shot lose a minute.

[@Muhd_Akmal]

Only reason to get this is if you are a Star Wars fan and thats okay
