My friend Michelle and I took on The Temple of Lost Gold tonight, and we had a great time! The atmosphere was immersive and detailed, with puzzles that were solid, fair, and fun (even if a couple of clues leaned a bit misleading). Difficulty felt right around medium — and yes, I definitely had my little Indiana Jones moment! 🏺✨
Full transparency: the game did experience some malfunctions with the mag locks and sound, which added extra time to our run. That said, our GM, Al, was fantastic — attentive, patient, and quick to get us back on track. Major credit to him for making sure the experience was still enjoyable.
A couple of heads-up: it’s quite dimly lit throughout, the AC wasn’t working during our visit, and there’s a very tight staircase that may be tricky for bigger-bodied players (my fellow “thick and juicy” adventurers, consider sending your smaller teammates upstairs while you support from below).
Overall, despite the hiccups, we walked away feeling like it was a memorable and fun adventure. If you’re up for some temple exploration with a few challenges along the way, it’s worth checking out!
Al was a great dude! He worked so hard to help with the technical difficulties, and he even offered to give us another game. From one GM to another, good work, thanks for that. Means a lot that you cared. ✨
Particularly interesting or different
No
Temple games are pretty common, but I did like this one a lot — Had a good time playing, it’s was immersive at times, and I loved the design.
The game malfunctioned pretty hard (mag locks and sound cues that were pertinent to the gameplay), and we got pulled out for quite a lengthy reset. Kind of a bummer, honestly. We did expect better.
Physically active
Somewhat
There’s a small space you have to climb up to another part of the game — and for me (as a plus size person), it’s not pleasant. So if you’re also a thick and juicy human, maybe have the slim ones go up and do the puzzles there.
