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?

This was honestly one of the best escape rooms I’ve done, the best in Monmouth county for sure. Atmosphere was awesome and it felt like the perfect difficulty. Don’t think you should do this room with more than 4 people but would 100% recommend. That staff is always awesome and feels like an authentic experience.

This is a fantastic room - full stop. Both the puzzles and the atmosphere are so well designed. There’s a lot going on in this room in the best way. We did it with four people and that felt right. Plus our GM Jack was wonderful.

This was our first room at puzzle connect at it was absolutely amazing. Certainly in contention for the best room I have played in Ocean/Monmouth County with the highlight being the special effects. Only small critique is the ten person maximum feels high for a room of this size. Would recommend trying to be six or under if playing as experienced players. Can’t wait to play more Puzzle Connect rooms in the future

GREAT ROOM!!! Puzzles flowed well and everything made sense. Everything in this room feels like it belongs in this room. Puzzles were creative and unique that required attention to detail and creative thinking. This was our favorite room at Puzzle Connect, so far…

Accessibility
Low light and color matching, with very similar colors, may make this room challenging for people with low vision or color blindness. The first space is small and would be hard to move around if using a mobility device

This room was fantastic. The details and craftsmanship were on point. The puzzles felt the right level of difficulty while also still feeling challenging. The story was really interesting and a lot of fun.

The flow felt very even. There weren't really any point where we didn't know what needed to be worked on.

Yes
There where many mechanics and puzzles that felt unique and were really well crafted.
Story
The story and design went hand in hand. Nothing felt out of place and it felt like you were really exploring a cursed tomb.
Difficulty
Hard
This was on of the harder ones I have done but it was not impossible if you have experience in escape rooms.
Game tech
Many sensors but also mechanical where things needed to be moved. I felt there was a fair amount of both.
