About the game
A cryptic notebook leads your archaeological expedition deep in the jungle to an ancient temple rumored to hold incredible artifacts. Your goal: Explore the rooms of the temple and escape before your energy runs out! But that's easier said than done because the temple is a maze of movable walls and mysterious mechanisms! Now it's time to work together. Using your action cards, you'll navigate through this unique structure, move walls, and even rotate the entire temple! In the action-packed co-operative game Temple Twist, players take turns choosing an action card from their hand to strategically manipulate the three-dimensional temple and move the explorer cube through the maze of rooms. Play through a series of increasingly difficult expeditions, or pick up some challenge cards and dive right in. This game combines strategy, co-operation, spatial reasoning, and hands-on action with a first-of-its-kind 3D-maze-gameboard that changes as you play.
