🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The ambient lighting and sound effects in this room really transported us inside a Mayan temple. The set design really allowed us to feel like explorers making our way through an undiscovered temple.

• There was a good mixture of puzzle challenges and there was definitely something for everyone. Most of the obstacles that were implemented into the game made sense why they were there. s you inside adim red and green lighting mixed well with the storyline. The various stations and numerous buttons also made us feel like we just stepped foot into the control room of the submarine.

• One of the latter puzzles definitely created a sense of urgency. We felt the sweat coming down our spines as we try to launch the device in the nick of time.

• The final prop that we had to use towards the end had some special effects and sounds build in that made the conclusion special. The act felt very realistic and it was the perfect way to complete the mission.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• One of the physical puzzles in this game definitely required 2 people to work on it and it eventually became quite tedious. It also had us questioning it's purpose within the set design and storyline.

• The ending felt inconclusive. We never really had a sense of urgency to escape or a mission to accomplish. I think it could've been more story-driven with some sort of goal to achieve.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

We've actually played a variation of this game at another location a couple years ago. It was nice to run through it again and relive the adventure. "Secrets of the Maya" is a must-do for fans of Indiana Jones, Tomb-Raider, Uncharted, etc. With the set design and challenges, you truly feel like a character in your own adventure movie! This game is fun and family-friendly!
