Unlock!: Short Adventures – The Birmingham Murder
Play a cooperative, app-driven escape room set in Birmingham’s criminal underworld of 1920. Players examine a location map, search numbered locations for items (some hidden), and solve visual, audio and logic puzzles together. The companion app supplies atmosphere, clues, audio puzzles and a countdown timer, and records codes discovered during play. Designed for a shorter 30–45 minute session, the game uses a compact deck of adventure cards and requires the free app on an Android or iOS device. Difficulty is high and teamwork and communication drive success.
