Mark as done to rate

Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest lies an ancient temple, shrouded in mystery and guarded by an age-old curse. It holds the secrets of a long-forgotten tribal chief whose spirit still lingers within its walls. Explorers have long been drawn to the temple through the years, but none have succeeded in lifting the curse. The latest to attempt this daunting task was the renowned archaeologist, Sir Jonas Grey. Sir Grey's expedition drew attention worldwide as he searched for the elusive Amulet of the Sun, said to hold the key to breaking the curse. Despite his experience, Sir Grey's efforts concluded in failure, leaving the temple's secrets, and the dreaded curse, unresolved. Now, it's up to a new group of explorers to unravel the mysteries of the temple and succeed where all others have faltered. Will you be the one to lead the final expedition and, finally, lift the curse?

Curse of the Hidden Temple was absolutely phenomenal! It had great puzzles and a wonderful flow. Everyone stayed busy and all the puzzles made thematic sense. There was a great mix of puzzle types and puzzle complexity - nothing felt repeated. The GMs were super friendly and the whole experience was wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in or near NYC

Really good mix of puzzle types and complexity!

Atmosphere

The set design was amazing. Very high quality and wonderful sound design. They make it so easy to immerse yourself in the story and feel like you’re really exploring a cursed temple.

Customer service

The GMs were super friendly and enjoyable to talk to. A GM can make or break escape rooms and they were absolutely wonderful! Very experienced and great at knowing when to give help and when not to.

This room was a little creepy at times but I really liked the puzzle elements. It was really clear what was and not a puzzle. And they did a little message at the end for my birthday! Really sweet company and I had a blast.

I did this escape room as my 100th official escape room, and I was not disappointed! They made the experience so special, including a celebration for me when we escaped and a trophy too! I cannot rate the owners highly enough. The room itself was really cool and had a lot of atmospheric elements to it, especially the lighting. We had a a very large group so we ended up dividing and conquering, but if you’re someone who likes the experience of doing it all, I recommend going with a smaller group (4-6). If you bring little ones, just know that there are some low to the ground puzzles that they can reach! Overall, I definitely want to go back and play their other rooms, they were great!!

The owner was amazing. He opened the store just for us to do some rooms. Great tech and unique puzzles. We have done over 250 rooms and there is always something to complain about but NO notes on the hidden temple.

My favorite of the three rooms! Every room they have at PuzzleConnect is quality but the story, gameplay, and the production behind Hidden Temple is tops. Really enjoyable experience. In addition Frank and Christina are amazing owners and people and welcomed both me and my wife with open arms. Customer care and connection is a huge value for Puzzle Connect and it shows. Fully recommend this place. My wife and I drove nearly an hour to spend the day here and we loved every moment of it!

Easily one of the best and most fun rooms out of the 60+ we’ve played. The tech, the theming, the decor were all top-notch. Christina and Frank have built a room that is a must play for escape room enthusiasts.
