Archibald Tucker was one of the greatest explorers of the 1930s. His tales of adventure were known the world over and his prized journal documented every adventure. While exploring an abandoned temple in The Lost City, he uncovered a treasure so rare, no man alive had seen it! A sudden gust of wind slams the temple door shut - sealing Tucker and his journal inside! Both were never seen again. Your team of treasure hunters decide it’s time to finish Tucker’s quest. Armed with the latest technology, your research points you to the exact whereabouts of the lost journal which holds the secrets to finding the treasure. In your backpacks, you’ve brought all the materials essential for your adventure! You approach the temple confidently, but once inside angered spirits awaken and deem you unworthy of the riches held within. As a test, they grant you 60 minutes to prove your worth. You must work logically, interact with everything you find and solve puzzles to uncover the treasure! If you fail, the door will be sealed once more and you will surely perish! Can you locate the journal, find the treasure and escape the temple before it’s too late? Time is of the essence!

Very fun well themed room. Some of the puzzles were a bit confusing but nothing you can't figure out without a little help. Would reccomend!

This room flowed well and had good theming/atmosphere—but the puzzles were way too easy and there were too few puzzles. We got out in less than 20 minutes as a team of 3 enthusiasts who didn’t even try to rush through the room. Because there’s nothing “wrong” with the room and all the tech worked just fine, I don’t feel this room warrants a 👎, but it also doesn’t warrant a 👍 since it was so light on puzzles that we finished in less than 20 minutes. To be honest, we didn’t originally plan to do this room, but Scooby-Doo was broken and we decided to do this room as a time-filler. Even so, we didn’t expect to get out this quickly.

This review is to warn enthusiasts and experienced escape room players that this room is so easy that I can’t imagine it would take you more than 30 minutes to escape (we did in less than 20 while trying to go slowly on purpose), so only do it if you have a good discount or try any of the other rooms. It’s a solid room for newbies with great puzzle flow and fun moments so it is not at all a bad room, just not challenging enough for the money if you have experience and they have other great rooms at this location to enjoy instead.

I really enjoyed this escape room! This was my 33rd room (28W - 5L) and I played with two adults with similar statistics but I still consider myself a bit of a newbie. This was our second game played at Escapology Carlsbad and we had so much fun that we booked five more rooms this week. The props and puzzles were in top condition and very well designed. They contributed to the flow of the story and made the experience really enjoyable. I don't think we asked for any clues and we finished with 19:27 remaining so I would say this room is medium difficulty (one of our players is very smart so she quickly saw solutions that might have taken another player a little longer to puzzle out). I think this would be a fun game for families with kids.

I really liked the theme and the room was beautifully decorated. Everything was is great condition and the story flowed very well.
Atmosphere
The set was beautifully designed making the experience very immersive.

The people at Escapology Carlsbad are amazing. They are probably the most friendly and accommodating staff. We are eager to try their other rooms this week!

This was my 33rd room (28W - 5L) and I played with two adults with similar statistics however, I still consider myself a bit of a newbie. One of our players is very smart so she quickly saw solutions that might have taken another player a little longer to puzzle out, but I think overall a group of three still makes it a fun experience.

The room was a mixture of tech and mechanical. I prefer mechanical rooms / puzzles but this room was definitely enjoyable.

Escapology might have a kid's version of the game (I'm not sure...), but the adult version would be suitable for families with tweens and teens.

No live actors, thank goodness.

Somewhat
There is lots of walking / rushing around, but nothing overly energetic.
Accessibility
The room is probably large enough for a wheelchair, however, puzzles and clues require vision, color, and auditory ability.

It is in a mall

There was lots of parking in the mall.

A solid escape room. Beautiful production design as always from Escapeology. I would say it’s more on the beginner side… I recommend doing this with two or three people, but no more… we did it with four and I feel like we got out pretty easy.

Fun and well designed room. Like I mentioned on my review for The Pirate roll, this too was a quite easy adventure for avid escapists. I recommending doing these two back to back to get that typical full 1hr experience.
Gameplay
Only one puzzle that left us scratching our heads even after solving it. The rest flowed really well. Room was linear.
Atmosphere
Good lighting and ambiance.

GM asked us 3 times if this was our first visit. Also called twice and still never received our picture 😔

Inside the mall. Parking is critical! We parked what ended up being pretty far away and if your game is after the mall closes, you are forced to walk outside in a pretty desolate area with poor lighting.
