The temple has been waiting
Legend speaks of the great ancient Mayan temples, hidden somewhere deep in the rainforests of Mesoamerica. You’ve long heard their stories and rumours of their rich history, but you’ve always considered them mere myths… until one day you come across a particular entrance resembling a giant head. Curiosity prevails, and you decide to take a look inside. What secrets will you discover here?
You have sixty minutes to read the signs the ancients left behind, work through the chambers and escape with the prize. A richly built, puzzle-led adventure — low on fear but high on challenge, with layered puzzles and an immersive set that rewards teams who think as one. Rated 4/5: great for families with a few games behind them.
