You’re trapped in a temple following an adventurer's trail—and finding the treasure is the only way out. Archibald Tucker was one of the greatest explorers of the 1930s. His tales of adventure were known the world over and his prized journal documented every adventure. In fact, he uncovered a treasure so rare, no man alive had seen it! But a sudden gust of wind slammed the temple door shut - sealing Tucker and his journal inside and both were never seen again. Now armed with the latest technology, your research points you to the exact whereabouts of the lost journal which holds the secrets to finding the treasure and you’ve brought all the materials essential for your adventure. However, once you’re inside, angered spirits awaken and deem you unworthy of the riches held within…Now, as a test, they grant you 60 minutes to prove your worth.

The games were very easy, we walked through this. Similarly to the Scooby doo room this one was very annoying with unnecessary not asked for hint giving. All the puzzles were very easy. We liked the snake.

Great room, just painfully easy in my opinion. We were a group of 3 adults that love puzzles and escape rooms and this was a breeze to the point where it felt much too expensive. But for a more casual (or drunk) group it might be great.

Gameplay

Gameplay was fine, standard stuff. Some puzzles had lackluster solutions.

Atmosphere

Super cool set with great TV intro and large timer.

Customer service

Staff was great! We went to the relatively new location in Carlsbad so they were still learning but they were super nice.

Linear but future puzzles were available to see so it was slightly nonlinear in that way. I think the theme was decent, not super immersive but a pretty basic theme. I thought the puzzles were fun, nothing too novel, but I'd say very standard. There were multiple rooms which was pretty cool.

Very monotonous room. All puzzles follow the same pattern.... Just use the flashlight everywhere. At the same time, some puzzles are just ill designed that it would never make sense unless you got a clue. This room, being in Belmont Park, seems to be targeting family/friends groups who want to have fun. It's not for escape room enthusiasts for sure. For the price of the escape room for two people at $50 per person, we essentially feel robbed since neither the puzzles nor the immersion it the experience were at par. This is one of the most disappointing escape rooms I've done (I've done about 30-40).

Gameplay

Not at all novel! They have taken regular puzzles and added hieroglyphs to suit them to the theme. Nothing else. Boring puzzles.

Atmosphere

It's good for people looking only for decor in an escape room.

Customer service

Staff was okay. Not the best.... There was no friendly chat before/after... Pure business. They are just catering to groups one after the other.

Story

Meh!

Team of 2 experienced players - we enjoyed it but would have been cramped with more players. Some elements in the room are not necessarily intuitive, so don’t be afraid to use hints.

Staff: Our guy was super chill and talked about the rooms and how this one was in a new building. Real good guy. The Room: Well decorated, that kinda treasure seeker atmosphere, use of lighting, lasers, and math. The Puzzles: This room made me feel the most stupid I could be. Had to ask for the most hints I’ve ever had, I must have had a bad day. But there were some puzzle solutions that just made me go “why did that work?!”. They just didn’t feel right. Overall. Great staff, confusing room. Goin back to try the other ones.

The staff was very welcoming. We came in and they were running behind so we had to wait a bit, but the staff were attentive to us and apologetic. The flow was choppy with a couple puzzles that weren’t very intuitive. The operator told us “yeah everyone gets stuck on the wheel puzzle; it usually needs like ten minutes to work through”. And even the pieces that did fit, didn’t do so very clearly. Very frustrating. All of the other puzzles were solvable and pretty good, but that wheel was not a good puzzle. We had 2 people, but I would say max 4. 5 or more may be a bit crowded as the room was a bit small, but decor was immersive, very cool explorer theme, but very low light, even though they do provide a small flash light.

Difficulty

Hard

There were 2 physical puzzles that made the room hard…and frustrating. Not much guidance or clues to help solve one of them. Even after figuring out the purpose for the puzzle, it didn’t help to determine how the puzzles piece together.
