Watch “Unlock Short: Sherlock Holmes - full walkthrough and solution with Dr Gareth and Laura,” a gameplay video on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Dr Gareth Moore on YouTube:

Join Laura and me as we solve Unlock Short Adventures: Inside the Mind of Sherlock Holmes, one of the eleven different titles in the Unlock Shorts series of smaller-deck Unlock escape-room puzzle games. In this video we open the deck and solve the game from start to finish, so there are spoilers throughout. I bought this game from Zatu, so all opinions are our own! This video is part of a series in which each week we solve a different escape room box - not just other Unlock games but also Exit the Game, Escape Room The Game and many others - so please do subscribe to the channel if you would like to join us on this fun adventure! Do also comment below - we'd love to know what you think of the video, and whether you solved some (or all!) of the puzzles faster than we did! If you've tried the game itself, what did you think of it?

About Unlock!: Short Adventures – Inside the Mind of Sherlock Holmes, from BoardGameGeek:

Unlock! Short Adventures: Inside the Mind of Sherlock Holmes! Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Watson are watching a show of entertainers in Covent Garden, when suddenly, a fire-eater named Amara drops dead! Unlock Short Adventures are 30 to 45 minute Unlocks in a small format, ideal for pocketing or giving as a gift. Unlock! is a cooperative card game inspired by escape rooms. Unlock! brings these experiences into your home, around a table. After familiarizing yourself with the context of the scenario, you begin your adventure in a room (a location map showing various numbers). Search the room for objects! Beware: some may be hidden! Visual and audio puzzles slow your progress. It's up to you to cooperate with your partners to advance and finish on time. To play, you need the free Unlock! app, compatible with Android and iOS phones and tablets. It allows you to obtain clues, locate hidden objects and enter the codes you discover. The app makes the game very real. It adds to the atmosphere, with music dedicated to each adventure, audio puzzles, terrible penalties and a fatal countdown. Unlock! Short Adventures: Inside the Mind of Sherlock Holmes is a scenario of difficulty 2 out of 3.
