My favourite room from Clue Cracker! So much fun being teleported into the world of Temple Quest. The theming of the room is fantastic and so many puzzles for a big group to do. We didn't stop moving!

Temple Quest is a very fun and well-executed escape room, and one of the more physically active games on offer, though not in the sense of climbing or strenuous movement. Instead, the physicality comes from interacting with the environment in ways that feel purposeful and well matched to the theme.

The game features some strong humour throughout, which adds a lot of charm without undermining the immersion. Think Indiana Jones and you’re pretty much spot on, it’s about as close as you’re likely to get to genuinely feeling like you’re stepping into that role. While the temple-adventure theme has been explored many times in escape rooms, this is easily one of the strongest (and one of my favourite) iterations of it.

The theming is a real highlight; the set design is visually impressive and convincingly creates the feeling of venturing into an ancient temple on a retrieval mission, without giving anything away. The room flows extremely well, with puzzles that feel intuitive and satisfying to work through, and it played particularly well to our strengths as a team.

Overall, Temple Quest is a very strong game  funny, visually striking, and thoughtfully designed.

Reviews by escape room review sites

On a day of playing several very strong games, I had particular hopes for Temple Quest, the newest (at time of writing) game from Clue Cracker, having noticed the way it's quietly climbed into the top bracket of the UK rankings; and was delighted to find that it thoroughly deserves its reputation.

In this game you're on the trail of a missing explorer, and more importantly the Golden Monkey treasure he was searching for. Which is to say, it has a whole lot of Indiana Jones vibes with extra monk...

There is no doubt that this room is going into both of our Top 10’s, it was great. Great is the word to describe it, great puzzles, great design, great hosts, great fun!

The most impressive part of Temple Quest was the sense of discovery, accompanied by 360º immersion it was hard to feel like we weren’t in a Temple in the depths of the jungle!

I love a good temple game, and Clue Cracker’s offering is one of the temple-iest around. Think of every kind of cool and thrilling element from the cultural reference points of the genre 

Clue Cracker have really hit the jackpot with Temple Quest. All in all, an awe-inspiring, action-packed, puzzle-packed, atmospheric, humorous adventure which enthusiasts and families alike will be blown away by. Don't monkey around - get booked in to play this game - you will not be disappointed.
