Quest For The Temple of Light

Absolutely phenomenal experience that I didn’t want to end. Our guide was amazing and took us through the experience and made it so enjoyable. We loved everything from beginning to end. This was so much more than an escape room! MUST DO!!

Temple of Light is the best of the (current) 3 escape rooms at Keepers of Balance. It has great production values, lots of rooms, and not a single puzzle uses a standard padlock or key. The room also provides an organic source of hints (that flows from the narrative) rather than text on a screen. The room has no clocks, so you never quite know if you are behind or ahead of schedule. Puzzle difficulty is medium/hard (maybe an 8/10). One puzzle did have a color issue that might mis-lead a team as to the clue.

In my subjective opinion, the set design was beautiful and well-crafted, although I’ve seen larger-scale sets elsewhere. Overall, it was a great experience. I felt the theming was strongest at the beginning and gradually became more subdued as the game progressed. The puzzles provided a good challenge without being overly difficult, and the interaction with the game master was enjoyable.

Such a fun room The immersion … wow. It lives up to the reputation for immersion alone It’s a love letter to Goonies, Indy and any adventure movie. This is a fun room if you are an experienced player or new to escape rooms. Light on volume of puzzles or things to do but heavy or story telling which was just a joy to play Tidbits: Easy parking but hard to access on a heavy traffic day (right off expressway) Amazing waiting room; the immersion starts at the parking lot

Great experience, not a great escape room. There is literally no failing because you are walked through it if you can’t figure something out. That was my one gripe.

The Temple of Light truly felt like an escape room done by Disney. Everything, from the absurd scale to the ingeniously immersive puzzles to the perfect balance between guided and unguided sections. The acting of our guide was so good, we debated what was "real" and what was scripted until the end of our 3rd game (made even blurrier when he was our guide for the second game as well, seamlessly integrating actual events with his role). From a set design standpoint, this is one of, if not the most aesthetically attractive and jaw-dropping games I've played. Somehow there were multiple wow moments in practically every scene, on top of a shockingly varied amount of themes crammed into this single epic game. While this was undeniably not a puzzle game, the interaction design was among the strongest I've seen in an escape room. It truly felt like actually interacting with mechanisms within a tomb, and what we did often had a massive impact on the game space. Escape rooms are many things to many different people, but if you love escape rooms because they take you on an adventure, I can't think of a more adventurous game than Temple of Light. It is a bold, visionary experience,

Really really great experience! Awesome use of space, live actor, many rooms, clever puzzles. No padlocks at all!

It was incredibly captivating and well done. Can’t say enough about that, but I didn’t care for the format. It felt more theatrical than a true escape room. Didn’t care for the host to be continually involved in the gameplay. But that is just preference. I like locked in a room race against the clock vs a very guided experience

This is the first in the storyline for Keepers of Balance and can be played first or second with Sunken Realm. A great room for all ages.
