Unlock!: Escape Adventures – The Formula review

Unlock! The Formula is a cooperative card game that's a fun and engaging take on the escape room experience. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, as the puzzles can be quite challenging. However, I found the game to be incredibly rewarding when I finally cracked a code or figured out a tricky riddle. The puzzles are designed to be solved as a team, and I think it's best played with 2-3 people to avoid anyone feeling left out.

The game requires a free app, which I actually found to be a welcome addition. It provides hints and clues when you get stuck, as well as a timer to keep you on track. I've heard some complaints about the app's audio, but I didn't have any problems with it. The app is also really well-designed and easy to use.

I have played a few other Unlock! games, and I think The Formula is one of the best. It has a really immersive story and a good mix of puzzles that will keep you entertained. However, the game can be a bit frustrating at times. I found myself searching for clues for hours, and sometimes I wasn't even sure what I was looking for. However, the feeling of accomplishment when you finally solve a puzzle is really worth it.

Overall, I'd recommend Unlock! The Formula to anyone who enjoys escape rooms or puzzle games. It's a challenging but rewarding game that will keep you entertained for hours.
