Space Cowboys have a bit of history when it comes to the Unlock! series, which first debuted in 2017, but has seen no less than five bundled releases each containing three stories (in the UK and Europe) or as many as three times that in the USA, where each set has been sold individually up until this edition, which carries the subtitle of Heroic Adventures.
And heroic is the right way to describe this set, given that the three stories within mix classic storytelling (Alice in Wonderland) with crime and punishment (Sherlock Holmes) and the more modern concepts of heroism (a pixel art adventure about being dragged into a classic video game.) Each adventure lasts exactly one hour (assuming you only play it once and succeed) but as a completely cooperative experience that uses several augmented reality features, it really takes centre stage at game nights for the the time it lasts.
