You are on an expedition with your team of archaeologists to go find the Sun God Mapuche statue before those bandits do! Will you be able to get what you came for or will the Curse of Mapuche get you first…
I usually do not have good experiences with Indiana Jones-esque themed escape rooms, but man was this one the worst. The rooms were decorated okay… but my biggest gripe was that nothing was working when we attempted this escape room. Some of the puzzles even had previous markings from past groups, so we could tell exactly what the answers were without even attempting the puzzles. Many of the puzzles were finnicky and did not work at all. We had to alert the game masters several times to get clarification or things fixed. Then the final straw was that the final puzzle did not even register properly, so no one knew we “completed” the room. Not even the game masters. Very unfortunate.
I cannot stress enough how I would never recommend this experience to anyone. The rooms were obviously not well-maintained and the game masters were indifferent to it. This is one of the worst escape rooms I have ever done.
