Unlock! Kids Detective Stories

Unlock! Kids: Detective Stories is a cooperative escape room card game designed for children aged 6–10, containing three adventures each with two linked scenarios, and winner of the 2022 Guldbrikken Special Jury Prize. Inspired by the bestselling Unlock! series but built for younger players — and with no app required, keeping kids away from screens.

This edition features three themed adventures, each split into two connected cases: Mac Unlock's Castle (Scotland) — prove that Mac's ghost haunts the castle, then search the grounds for hidden treasure; Feather Balls and Mysteries (Barnyard) — deliver invitations across the farm for a duck's gathering, then solve the mysterious case of Mrs. Hen; and Fuss at the Park (Amusement Park) — hunt for a hidden prize through a wacky carnival, then identify and stop the troublemakers causing chaos. Each adventure is gentle, imaginative, and perfectly paced for younger detectives.
