 This is one of the best virtual rooms we have done. The set design is very authentic and has a real Indiana Jones vibe. It uses a separate camera, so you see the GM throughout. The camera operator did a great job of choosing where to point and helping us where we needed it 

Kasia was a great GM .. very enthusiastic and excellent English. She really felt like one of the team.

We did this room with 2 different teams and all of us agreed it was AWESOME. 

This was one of those rooms that we would have loved to have done in person as it looks gorgeous with loads of cool tech.

In summary, a Top 5 game (out of 50 done) and excellent value for money. I would class difficulty level as medium.

The first online room from this company and its very well done. With a dedicate camera person as well as your avatar/host you get a great view of this beautifully detailed room, with its little homages to Indiana Jones. You are in the university office of Dr. Jones which is adorned with a host of artefacts and crates and maps and you mission is to retrieve an ancient mayan statue. 
The gameplay isn't rushed and the narrative isn't over complicated. The props are the star of the room with the accompanying puzzles being well themed. The entire game being very well signposted making gameflow excellent. Any text or instructions you need are in English and Polish but these are kept to a minimum and there is no inventory. 
 
Oh, when we played it was called Indianan Jones, but Its now been renamed to Mayan Temple Mystery (to avoid any Indiana Jones IP issues). 

Reviews by escape room review sites

The Mystery of Mayan Temple made less of an impression than Magician. It was (and currently still is) available for avatar play, and is well suited for that format. I found the ending a bit abrupt, and although the game gets more visually impressive as it goes on, I thought the non-linear earlier stages was more enjoyable with stronger puzzles.

    In August 2021 I played 35 escape rooms in Poland on a short trip organised by Escaperoomers.de. The itinerary was based around highly recommended games, and pretty much all of them richly deserve proper, detailed reviews; but I’m going to have to give just a quick overview guide of them ins...
