The Lost Temple

The venue and set design were attractive, and the game itself flowed solidly (our team set the new record, at 22 minutes) yet we left feeling quite unsatisfied, as if we hadn't really done much of anything at all. For all the effort put into the physical immersion, little attention was paid to the framing and supporting ambience - an aggressively artificial AI-generated video set things off on the wrong foot, and there was no background music throughout the experience itself. The gameplay was a patchwork of tired escape room tropes — multiple purchased mazes, multiple 4-digit locks with no lock mapping, a small journal functioning as a runbook — with almost no meaningful variation, required collaboration, or moments of delight. We could tell that this new company cares about what they're doing, but we'd love to see a little more substance, originality, and personality showing through. We were not the audience for this game, though I could see this serving as a smooth onramp to escape rooms for newer players.

Really awesome escape room. Thank you Lisa and Jeremy for fitting us in.

This was an amazing escape room!! This was our 50th room completed together and it was great! Lisa was our game guide and was extremely helpful and was super nice! The game was very logical and made sense! Can't wait to come back and play their 2nd game that they are opening at the end of next month!!

We had so much fun in this room. Our family does a lot of escape rooms and this is a new favorite. The props and rooms were amazing. We definitely had some challenges we had never seen before.

I’ll backup what others have said, I’ve done pretty much all the rooms in the Lancaster area so far and although this room is definitely beginner friendly the set design is probably the best in the area. Good flow, just an all around good time, Lisa our GM was awesome, 10/10.

I'll keep this short and sweet. As of Winter 2025, this is the best escape room venue in Lancaster County and it's not even close. This is worth the drive from anywhere in Lancaster over the other venues and great for first timers and escape room veterans. 8.25/10

Full transparency: This review is based on a complimentary beta test. The game was nearly complete when my group played. This is a phenomenal game for the Lancaster market! It easily has the best scenic in the area. The puzzles were intuitive and flowed smoothly. Lots of immersive tactile elements. Everything felt well-built. This is the first room I would recommend to someone in this area, whether they are experienced with escape rooms or not. I hope other local escape rooms see how Enigma is raising the bar for our market. I am so excited to see what else comes out of Enigma Escape in the future!
