Legend has it that within an ancient temple, nestled deep within the Shei-Ling Jungle lays the body of Yumiko, an Empress of mysterious power who ruled thousands of years ago. Urban myths whisper of a powerful relic that was buried alongside her well-preserved corpse that grants eternal life to all those who behold this ancient secret. Many brave explorers have sought the relic, but none have lived to tell the tale. You have made it your life's work to unlock the enigma of the tomb and look upon the empress with your own eyes and are confident that you and your team will succeed where so many have failed.
Cursing furiously under your breath as you swat away another mosquito, you’ve been trekking for what feels like a lifetime through the unforgiving jungle. Your feet getting heavier with every step, sweat dripping from your face to the ground below…but then you look up from your weathered map to the jagged rock edges that have haunted your dreams for many years.
Stopping dead in your tracks you hear the cries of euphoria echoing through the trees, “Over here!”, “We found it!” Hidden behind a web of vines is the magnificent tomb door inscribed with ancient symbols you have seen and studied for many sleepless nights. You have finally found the lost temple of Yumiko.
Knowing all too well you must approach with caution having read of the notorious deadly traps to keep people out, you look around at the littered bones of those that have come before you, the unworthy. The team huddles one more time before daylight starts to fade. The plan is simple, locate the relic and get the hell out of there because the is a reason no-one has ever made it out alive.

Are you willing to risk your own life for a chance at eternal life?

family friendly

The set and decoration of this room is great. The room had puzzles which I haven't seen before which was nice.  My team and I had a lot of fun in this game - our host was great too. 

Only downside is that there were reset issues in the game which meant that both our first puzzle and our final puzzle were missing keys or the host had to give us the answer as it wasn't where it should've been. This was not the fault of our gm, but the one before. It slightly ruins the immersion of the game but all in all a good game.

Location of this game is not a very nice place to walk around though.

Team of 2.5 (two adults and a kid) and it was very family-friendly, as long as plastic skeletons aren't too scary! The design is good and makes you feel very immersed in the game. A lot of teamwork involved, so 2 people may struggle. We were warned before the game that one of the locks was being 'temperamental', and sure enough, it didn't work and the GM had to come in and unlock it. It broke the immersion for us, and owners should replace locks if they don't work! Other than that - a good, fun escape room.

Reviews by escape room review sites

We’d not had the best luck at this venue, and this game didn’t feel like the best that Trapp’d have to offer. It was worn down and looked very tired in places, and some major tech failures didn’t help us to have the best experience.

I am fond of a temple game. There is some strong competition on the market (look out for a couple of forthcoming reviews!) but there is plenty of room for individuality and creativity in this particular genre.
