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!

An Eye for an Eye
For my birthday, I did an escape room marathon (5 rooms in one day) starting with this one!
Story
Find the diamond.
Puzzles
Entertaining enough, but easy to work out- on the verge of rudimentary.
Mise en scene
The room itself gave engaging Aztec/jungle vibes.
Final Comments
My team of 4 absolutely smashed it in just over half an hour with 0 hints.
