ABOUT UNBOXING THE CRYPTIC KILLER

Unboxing the Cryptic Killer is the first cooperative point-and-click escape room in the "Cryptic Killer" series. Join forces with a friend and play as detective partners Ally and Old Dog in our debut two-player escape room adventure.
Up against a decade-old cold case and a dangerous new foe, can you help them solve the puzzles, crack the codes, and escape the clutches of the Cryptic Killer?

THE STORY

After getting an anonymous tip, detective partners Ally and Old Dog are sent to an old warehouse deep in the shipping district of their respective cities. On arrival, they quickly realize not all is as it seems. This crime has the 'Cryptic Killer's fingerprints all over it. But, with that case long put to bed - did our detective heroes catch the wrong guy, or are they dealing with a copycat killer on the loose?

Choose between playing as the no-nonsense Scottish detective Ally Abernathy, or detective 'Old Dog' Kowalski in Poland. In a series of carefully laid out puzzles, you and your friend must solve the puzzles, crack the codes, uncover the truth, but most importantly… Escape the warehouse! You'll have to use everything you've got if you want a chance at catching the Cryptic Killer. Do you have what it takes?
