When we played it seemed like it was very new and not tested enough. Some things just did not work even though we solved the puzzle right—then when we asked for hints they told us to do exactly what we were already doing. Made the experience super frustrating.

Saying this is a new game is VERY misleading - this is a game bought from a different location, and you can tell via the scuffed nature of stuff. Puzzles are fine - nothing new if you’ve played a good amount of escape rooms, but you can feel the effect of multiple ghost puzzles in the room. GM was horrible - the only thing we needed help on he did not realize WHAT was wrong and misled us with hints until I noticed what the actual issue was (which was us not adding one thing to a solution). Also literally do not know his name because he never mentioned it… which is the first thing a GM should do. The worst I’ve had.

Gameplay

It was fine. We solved a lot of stuff quickly with three puzzles slowing us down - however, two were our fault and natural. One though was a disabled mag lock that just… wasn’t working anymore. That’s not a hidden door. That’s a ghost puzzle.

Atmosphere

Nothing horrible, but you can definitely tell it’s worn and not new. Very stereotypical Mayan temple - if you think Indiana Jones, you’ve got it.

Customer service

Horrendous - wrong clues, not welcoming, and we never even got his name.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Story

What story? You’re finding a skull, but the GM just stumbled through the story.

Difficulty

Medium

Felt like we were consistently hitting puzzles - nothing really crazy. Simple but multi-step at points.

Game tech

High tech

High tech - one lock that made sense, rest are tech locks.

Ideal number of players

3

Honestly the three I played with were perfectly fine. Could do more but it’s a good amount for any group.

Scary

Not scary

You start in dim light but it’s not scary.

Minimum age

6

No issues with sight or sound and nothing crazy.

Was anything broken?

Yes

Mag lock that is part of last thing to do not properly closed. A “secret drawer” is a disabled mag lock below a ghost puzzle. Multiple things in room have numbers that mean nothing.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Not at all

Accessibility

A LOT of sound puzzles.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

Easy
