Mexico City, 1948. The Aztec people believe that long ago the eye of their sun god, Huitzilopochtli, was cast into a great lake, showing them where to build their empire.

The eye, if it was ever considered to be more than a myth, was presumed lost during the Spanish Conquest, but recent expeditions in Mexico’s southern jungles seem to imply that it is, indeed, real – and was purposefully hidden from the invading Spanish!

Of course, it is not the literal eye of a god, but a huge yellow diamond of a kind rarely found in the Americas. It has taken months to find the place, but the pyramid which is believed to hold the gem is behind a cleverly sealed door.

It’s up to you to find the diamond and see it is placed safely in the Museum of Mexico. But you must hurry, a cadre of Russian treasure seekers is on the way, hoping to steal the diamond for their own profit. You must not let that happen; the Eye of the Sun God belongs to Mexico!

Whilst a good half of the puzzles delivered an enjoyable challenge, the rest stumbled due to illogical design or unclear instructions. One or two puzzles, in particular, felt like missed opportunities with the potential for better execution. The initial excitement fizzles out to a somewhat underwhelming conclusion, leaving you wanting more.

Escape Hunt doesn’t always have a great reputation; the games of theirs that I’ve played have been a mixed bag. That shouldn’t put you off trying Eye of the Sun God. It’s probably the best of theirs I’ve played at any of the chain’s branches, and is genuinely worth going out of your way for.
That’s partly because of the pretty decor, though that’s often a strong point for Escape Hunt games. But they’ve done a fine job of evoking a lost temple sort of environment here.
More importantly, the puz...
