Temple of Light was pure absurdity brought to life. It really feels like a Disney-level attraction in the middle of Charlotte, in the best way possible. The spaces we visited and explored were incredible and breathtaking from start to end. While I was prepared for a lower emphasis on puzzling, I was actually pleasantly surprised at the quality we had, and they were a ton of fun all around. The set piece moments are awesome and truly make use of all the (gigantic) spaces. I loved this game from beginning to end and I absolutely would recommend people come visit Charlotte for this game alone!

Thanks for the well written review. One of our goals for temple was to balance puzzles with everything else that creates an "experience". The story, the acting, the smells, the set design, and all of the other things. I'm glad to see that although not a puzzle heavy game, it still delivered an exceptional experience.

We weren’t sure what to expect but it’s a room we heard lot of good things about. It was definitely more of an experience, and not particularly difficult. It would be a great game for any skill level because even if the puzzles come easy, there is A LOT to take in. It’s a very cool room with a lot of attention to detail. I’d recommend for anyone from first timer to enthusiast

Thanks for the review. We made an effort to create something that all skill levels could enjoy. For enthusiasts like yourself that are experienced with puzzles we aim to avoid the traditional lock and key style puzzles and create something a bit more hands on in a spectacular environment. We have had some people that enter some of the rooms and just stand there for 5 or 10 minutes looking around and touching all the set design and don't even look for puzzles. It creates quite the interesting challenge when trying to keep a time schedule. None the less, glad to see that you had a great time.

Incredibly cool room with some tech I have not experienced before. While the puzzles were not extremely challenging and somewhat linear, the story flowed well and the attention to detail with the tech was next level. Highly recommend

Thanks for the hearts! If you like a bit more of a puzzle heavy room, I'd encourage you to check out Defenders of the Sunken Realm. Has many of the same great aspects from Temple, but trending to be a favorite among players who like a bit more challenging of a room.

As someone who has done 130+ escape rooms this was hands down the best escape room I have ever done. We were immersed in our adventure the second we walked through the front door. The set design is absolutely mind blowing. The staff (game master Sarah) are also incredible. I honestly can’t talk highly enough about this company and this room. We WILL be back!

From someone who has done 130+ rooms it's a huge compliment to hear we ranked among the best. Sarah gets a lot of compliments and really does a fantastic job curating a great experience for people. We have a lot of space for many more games.

Had the BEST time playing Defenders of the Sunken Realm and Temple of Light yesterday with my husband and sister! This was an escape room to the next level with the set work and physical challenges! Brandon was hysterical and Josh and A.J. made our experience memorable! Can't say enough wonderful things about this place and can't wait to come back and play again!

One of the best rooms I've ever done. This is the first room I've done with an actor which was not horror themed that tied in seamlessly. Our game masters were phenomenal. The rooms themselves all had great special effects and flawless technology integration. My only small complaint is what others echoed, which is that the puzzles are fairly simple. However, that did not detract from my enjoyment of the game; it just kept it from being the best game I've done to somewhere in the top 5, which isn't a bad thing at all!

Thanks for the great review. If you are looking for a Keepers style experience with a bit more puzzle complexity, you should check out Defenders of the Sunken Realm. I think you will enjoy it.

Felt like me & my friends were the stars in our own adventure movie! Top-notch, cinematic-level immersion, AAA+ set design, music, lighting, & special effects - and the puzzles were so much fun! THE KEEPERS OF THE BALANCE is an absolute *must* for escape room fans!!

They really went all out on set design and theatrics! There is so much to love about this game. Our actor was great and we loved how they implemented her throughout the game. My only knock, was feeling that they could ramp up the difficulty of some of their puzzles, or add in a few more. Stunning room though, and cant wait for the next 2!

Thanks Brit, we have 2 more games in construction, and 3 more in planning and development! Some of the other games will be a bit more challenging. I think you will really enjoy Sunken Realm.
