About this tour
When Alex from our BugBitten team booked The Temple, we expected a standard puzzle room — instead we got a slick high-tech hunt through a fictional lost civilisation's ruins. The setup's clever: you're agents tasked with stopping a resurrection of Death Gods before apocalypse strikes. It's 90 minutes of electronic puzzles and interconnected challenges that don't follow a straight path, so you've got to communicate hard and lean on each other's strengths. The venue runs seven days a week and welcomes groups of 2–6, making it solid for mates' outings, corporate team builds, or birthday crowds. Everyone works at the same pace, regardless of fitness level.
Highlights
- Electronic and automated puzzle mechanics — more sophisticated than pen-and-paper escape rooms
- Nonlinear game flow keeps momentum unpredictable; no single solution path
- Dark, immersive temple theme with coherent narrative throughout
- Small groups (max 6) mean no dead weight or spectators sitting idle
- Light refreshments and photos included; low hidden costs
- Accessible for varying fitness levels; no running or extreme physical demands
What to expect
You'll arrive at a temple-themed space kitted out with interactive stations and electronic locks. The briefing is straightforward: your team gets the mission, then you're loose to explore and solve. Puzzles here aren't just finding keys in drawers — they're triggered by magnets, buttons, and logic chains that feed into each other. Early on, you'll stumble into dead ends and have to backtrack, which is actually part of the design; it forces collaboration because one person spotting a clue across the room might unlock something another team member is wrestling with. The 90 minutes moves fast. You'll feel the pressure ramping, especially in the final stretch when you realise how many seals you still need to place. The team dynamic really shows: groups that split up flounder; ones that talk through each move tend to click.
The temple aesthetics are genuine — lighting, soundscapes, and décor build atmosphere without being heavy-handed. By the end, you've either saved the world or you haven't, and that binary outcome (plus the photo record) makes it easy to debrief over a drink afterwards.

Good to know
This is worth it if your crew enjoys thinking together rather than racing solo. Corporate groups get real value — it's collaborative without being cutesy, and it prises people out of their usual roles. Birthdays and group outings benefit from the shared narrative and the fact that nobody's sitting around bored. Includes refreshments and photos, so there's no nickel-and-diming. Open seven days, which suits most schedules.
Minimum two players, maximum six — so large teams need to split. The puzzles involve significant magnet use, which is flagged as a risk for anyone with pacemakers or serious heart conditions; worth reading their full medical terms. Collapsible wheelchairs can work if someone's there to help you navigate, but fixed chairs won't fit the space. You can't check availability without booking (they charge only on confirmed sessions), so late planners might find slots gone. A few puzzles may stump groups for several minutes — that's intentional, but impatient crews might feel stuck. No outdoor element; this is entirely indoors under controlled lighting.
