Unlock Juice, sometimes called simply JUICE, is a visible tracker of progress within a puzzle hunt, as well as a way to determine when milestones that determine new unlocks have been hit. While many hunts may use hidden point values assigned to puzzles to determine when teams have solved enough to unlock new content, hunts that use Unlock Juice will have that number visible to solvers, allowing to be used as both a morale booster and a gauge for how close the next unlock may be.
Unlock Juice is an alternative to other traditional unlock structures such as adjacency unlocks or timed unlocks. Additionally, Unlock Juice refers specifically to currencies and metrics that allow new rounds and puzzles to be unlocked. Similar systems that allow the purchase of hints or free solves will be found under Hint Currency.
