Another fantastic game from Clue Cracker - really felt like you were on Jungle Run back in the day! Some really impressive set builds and elements to make you feel like you’re really exploring and making your way through a desert temple! Our GM was great as Boris the monkey - it’s so much fun having the clue system as an actual part of the room!
This room is fantastically themed (probably the best one we’ve played), the puzzles are incredibly logical and satisfying to solve, the story is fun and entertaining, and our host was friendly and enthusiastic. This is how all escape rooms should be! This is now our favourite game and can’t wait to come back and play all the others!
Beautifully themed as all of their rooms are, creative ways of moving throughout, and just a joy to play! We didnt mind getting out relatively quickly, as the whole experience felt well worth it!
A difficult room to do with two people, a lot to do, lots of areas and lots of puzzles that all need to be completed at some point or another (not necessarily in a particular order). The room is very well looked after, everything works and the theming is all in perfect condition. There is some amazing projection and interactive technology too.
The thing that really makes this though is the hosting, there is a a character that guides you through, voiced very well by the GM, and if you want, you can more or less have back and forth conversations with this character which was really fun.
Truly a brilliant escape room, and so much fun to play. All the puzzles are just amazingly well executed and really enjoyable to solve. The build is fantastic and the interaction with the GM makes for a very immersive experience. Some cool mechanics throughout keep things interesting and an intense finale end the game in style. Unmissable!
Hilarious and challenging in equal measure, this is an incredibly immersive game that takes the best features of the classic temple game trope and puts a clever spin on them.
It's always a good sign when we're sad to find we're at the end!
All hands on unique puzzles fitting with the theme. Loved the satchel to coolect the loot made it feel like you were raiding the temple. This room is easier than their diamond dog and I would say very family friendly.
Brilliant time getting out of Temple Quest today. Lovely mix of games - physical, codes and teamwork. The decoration is great and the staff are wonderful - thanks to Zack for making us feel so welcome and playing along with my birthday surprise…
Another temple, another cursed statue...
Game plays with a very silly sense of humour and takes you through a nice progression. Plenty of puzzles to do throughout. Fine timewise as a 2 in terms of completion, but might be better as 3+ due to a split experience which falls into the nothing to do vs something to do category until the activity is completed (not hard but would be much quicker with 2 of you - and had some unfortunate confusion due to a non-reset padlock; however GM managed this well). Well hosted and thought it was an excellent game overall.
Amazing set and some interesting concepts.
LOVED THIS! It's one of my top 3 UK games. The 'set' is brilliant and there's a brilliant range of puzzles. Thoroughly enjoyed, would highly recommend!
An absolutely fantastic room from start to finish. It's a great theme - but also brilliantly executed in the room design. Everything felt robust and well-built, and many of the puzzles were unlike others we'd seen before in other rooms. Our GM was fab, and we loved the humorous touches throughout. Definitely tough as an experienced team of two, but a delight as it unfolded - worth the trip!
The theming in this room is great and its amazing they built it all themselves. All the way through this game delivers time and time again. easily in my top 3 games from the 50 I have done.
One of the most enjoyable games i've played. It's a very physical game with a lot of exploration which makes you feel like you're a tomb raider. There are some great logic puzzles too, so there's a something for everyone to solve. I would easily recommend this room to anyone. It's bound to impress anyone who gives it a go.
A fantastic game by a wonderful company. Set dressing is immaculate, puzzles feel strong, well built and fun to complete. Hosting was excellent. Can't wait to see and play the other games!
This adventure was so much fun, its a fabulous build, with a high standard of production and excellent attention to detail, but what elevates it to a must play is the excellent comedic moments in there. The laugh out loud moments start in the briefing and there's lots of banter opportunities with Boris your helper in the temple.
Combine this with a great variety of puzzles, and a rather fun transition, and you've got a wonderful adventure that's a great play for both families and enthusiasts. My favourite room at Clue Cracker.
What a brilliant escape room company Clue Cracker are, 3 top rooms and funny, engaging staff!
Temple Quest is definitely the pick of the bunch with immersive decor, tongue in cheek laughs and something for everyone in terms of puzzles... Physical and logic. The gamesmaster made our experience with his cheeky monkey one liners throughout.
Loved this game, host was brilliant really made it funny. Lots of physical challenges which I love and a few puzzles that force you to work as team. Loved it, make sure you wear suitable footwear you'll be running around in sand.
Jungle Run meets Crystal Maze meets soo many other awesome adventure shows and movies. Lots of ground to cover in this room with plenty of physical puzzles to get occupied- most immersive intro to a game we’ve ever had and our host Dawn was superb!
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...
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
