You’ve just barely survived the crash of a rusty propeller plane. But luck might still be on your side! You’ve landed deep in the Wei-nu jungle, home of the mysterious Ehlari Ruins. Somewhere within these centuries-old stone walls, a long-fabled fortune lies hidden. Generations of adventurers have tried and failed to claim it. Can you brave the dangers, navigate hidden chambers, outwit the temple traps, and uncover the legendary treasure yourself?

We played Ruins Jr and had a blast! Though it’s not quite as grand as its big brother in Nashville (I hear), it was still a great time! Definitely on the easier side, though some tricky puzzles slowed us down. Solid set and detailed environment. Definitely good to get a different game out to California. Can’t wait for Operation Yeti! Will was a great game master!

Great room and still remains the best TEG room. For the longest time this was only available out in Nashville but now out here. The rooms are similar but not the same. If you have the ability to go to Nashville I would recommend that as the games end quite differently but this location added some new puzzles to perhaps counterbalance the lack of ending in comparison to the OG. Tons of fun and a sight to see.

No thank you. I completely agree with Beatcal’s comment regarding your ridiculous shared room policy. I’ve done nearly 30 rooms in SD, and this is the only one that forces players to pay the price for 8 people just to block the room. That’s absurd. Why would anyone want to play in a room designed for 4–5 players at its best—with 7 people, including 2–3 total strangers? That completely ruins the experience. What are you thinking huh?

This was a fun room! The decorations were top notch, the experience was very immersive, the puzzles were in perfect condition, and the staff was extremely friendly. This was my 52nd room (46W - 6L) which I played with two other adults with similar statistics. I still consider myself a bit of a novice because I ride the coat-tails of one of my teammates. We finished with 8:33 remaining, but we needed five hints - ugh. We usually play without hints, but we would not have understood one puzzle without hints. I recommend playing this room with a group of 3-4 players. I would also recommend using your phone flashlight. The room is mostly linear, however, I think you can work on two puzzles simultaneously (but probably not more than that). My only criticism is Escape Game's policy of shared bookings. I feel like TEG is the last business to have this policy. But in their defense, we asked that no one join our group today and they kept our room closed for just us. Thank you!

Gameplay

The intro video was pretty funny and the room was decorated wonderfully! The story flowed well and the story was novel for us (we only have 52 games under our belts).

Atmosphere

The set design was top notch! The special effects (sounds, lighting, props, games) were great and in perfect working condition.

Customer service

Our GM (Paloma) was very friendly and helpful with her hints.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

I really liked the room and the story. It was interesting and different for me since I have only played 52 games. But any room with a Lost City or Egyptian theme is fun, in my opinion.

Story

The plot was memorable, especially the funny intro video. Quite a few of the puzzles were novel for me.

Difficulty

Hard

TEG rates this room as 6/10, but I would say it is a little harder than that (based on my experience of 52 games). We needed five hints which is unusual for us. So maybe 7/10 or 8/10 depending on your group size and experience?

Game tech

High tech

There were a few mechanical elements, but for the most part the puzzles are high tech.

Ideal number of players

4

We played as a group of three, but an extra brain might have been helpful.

Scary

Not scary

The lighting is dim so I recommend bringing your phone flashlight. We won't play scary rooms.

Minimum age

10

The theme is fun for kids! I suggest 10 years old just based on a typical 10 year old attention span, but if you have a younger enthusiast, by all means, include them.

Was anything broken?

No

Everything was in perfect condition.

Live actors

No

We won't play rooms with live actors. yikes

Physically active

Somewhat

There is the usual scurrying around, but nothing strenuous.

Accessibility

I think a player should have all of their senses for this experience.

Easy to find location

Yes

TEG is located in the UTC mall next to Macy's.

Parking

Medium

There is mall parking which is free for the first 2 hours, then $3 each additional hour with a maximum of $15.
