#1 Now it's time to unveil the mystery.

#2 Now it's time to reveal the mystery.

Can we use here both "unveil" and "reveal"?

#3 Now it's time to unveil the curtain from the mystery.

In #3 I want to say something like that we should remove curtain from this mystery. But "unveil" means remove the curtain like covering. So is it correct to use "the curtain" here? Is it superfluous? But i want to use word "curtain" here. So can you suggest better version for #3 with use of curtain?
