Deep in the jungle lies the Temple of Oculto (Hidden Temple), where the great warrior, Guerrero (literally Great Warrior), was buried with his amulet, the Heart of the Jaguar. When raiders stole the amulet, they unleashed Guerrero’s curse, turning the temple into a treacherous place filled with spectral guardians. Only by returning the amulet and performing a sacred ritual can the curse be lifted. Until then, the temple remains a warning against greed and disrespect for the dead. Are you brave enough to lift the curse?

Overall this was the best escape room we have been to! The tech was amazing, the puzzles were so good, and not a lock in sight! Jack was a great host!
The technology in this room is the best we’ve seen so far. It has jumped to our number one favorite place!
The special effects were incredible!!!!
Jack was a wonderful guide ❤️

Jack brought us to our room and had a whole routine beforehand that got us right into the game!

This was the second room we’ve done with Expedition Escape, and once again, we were blown away! Hidden Temple stands out as the most immersive escape room we’ve experienced, especially in the Philadelphia/PA area. What sets this room apart is its atmosphere. There are long stretches where it is quite dark, which adds an exciting, slightly spooky vibe without turning it into a horror experience as you can still see everything that you need to to complete the puzzles. The lack of a visible timer or countdown enhances the immersion, making you feel like you’re truly part of an adventure. That said, it’s still a regular escape room, but the clever design and use of technology make it feel like so much more. For seasoned escape room enthusiasts, I would say that Hidden Temple is on the easier side. The puzzles are logical and linear, which keeps the experience smooth, but the challenge level is relatively low compared to other rooms we’ve tried, like Quest for the Throne (another great room by this company, and definitely more difficult). That said, the puzzle style in Hidden Temple is quite unique—there are no traditional lock-and-key puzzles, which we really appreciated. Overall, Hidden Temple wins for immersion and creativity. If you’re new to escape rooms, this is the perfect room to wow you with its atmosphere and design. Even if you’re more experienced, the uniqueness and seamless technology make it worth a visit. Highly recommend, especially if you’re ready for an adventure that feels straight out of a movie!

Super fun and exciting new room at Expedition Escape. The setup for the game and the puzzles are quite different from what you typically find EE, and it was incredible. Your GM is going to give you advice before your game.. and I advise you to do what they say or you may be at a disadvantage later (: The whole experience is a vibe... really loved it.
The ambiance was awesome... definitely felt like I was going into a cursed temple!
Erika was our GM, and we have had the pleasure of having her as a GM multiple times in the past. She never disappoints. She is super fun and friendly and since this has a different kind of setup from other EE games, she really played into it and made it memorable.

Most rooms end up having a lot of key or combo locks, this one has more original puzzles that don't use keys/combos (but some elements do).
It was a really exciting game, especially at the beginning when you are getting the setup for the game, and then of course once you get into the cursed temple.. if you can :)
Medium
Think outside of normal puzzles.. touch everything!
Mechanical
There is a lot of cool electronic/tech stuff but overall more mechanical in what you need to do.

2 to 6. I prefer to play 2-4 players so there aren't too many things happening at once, but these puzzles require a different kind of approach, so you may want additional friends to help think outside of the box.
Spooky
There are multiple periods with very little lighting. Added to the experience for sure.

This game does require movement between rooms as well as pushing/pulling. There are important verbal instructions particularly in the beginning.

We completed Curse of the Hidden Temple with four people and had a great time. The room itself had an amazing aesthetic and immersive experience, while also having good, logical puzzles. We had Josiah as our game master, and they were great and extremely helpful. This is the second time I’ve been here, and there will definitely be a third!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time in Curse of the Hidden Temple and enjoyed the immersive aesthetic and puzzles. It’s also wonderful to know that Josiah made your experience even better – we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words! We’re so glad this was your second visit, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for a third (and beyond!). See you soon for your next adventure! Marisa & Skylar Owners

Simply wow! Our first escape room was at this location and 4 years and 40+ escape rooms later we were ecstatic to learn of this new escape room experience being opened. Expedition Escape has been a favorite of ours and the Curse of the Hidden Temple did not disappoint. Wildly immersive with state of the art puzzles (no traditional locks) and it was clear that the designers wanted to create a unique and amazing experience. Thank you Expedition Escape!
Wonderfully designed escape room.
Extremely immersive experience.
Great and knowledgeable staff.

High tech room and extremely immersive. Top notch set design with clever puzzles.
Great story and vastly more involved than any of the previous 40+ escape rooms we have played. The game designers clearly wanted to create a unique product and it was a slam dunk.

Great experience again- this was. Number three at this location and didn’t disappoint. The “no locks” aspect was great! We look forward to another adventure at EE!

Had an awesome experience thanks to our guide, Jack. The room has a great mix of puzzle-solving and theatrics, as most EE rooms do. Experienced groups will likely cruise through this room while enjoying the scenery and “moments” that are to come. This is a must-do for both new and experienced players alike. Enjoy the journey folks!

Probably my number 1 room currently due to immersion and technical setup. I hate combo locks in rooms where it doesn't fit the theme, and there are no combo locks here at all.
