Temple of Secret Doors

“Temple of Secret Doors,” made for kids ages 7 to 10, locks your team in a temple of pale stone, lost among the mountains. The heavy doors have shut behind the explorers, and there is only one hour before sunset, the one moment when the last door will open from the outside. Every chamber hides a puzzle: find which animal statue is missing from a row, put the phases of the sun on a stone dial in order, crack the code on a chest with levers, and piece together a mosaic to reveal the key to the exit. The puzzles are solved as a team, by looking closely and reasoning, with no long reading and no supplies to buy. The book already includes the padlocks to cut out and assemble, the clue cards, a countdown to start, and the grown-up guide, which explains the game step by step and offers backup hints so the game never stalls. It works as well for a birthday party as for a family evening, for a small group or a big table of kids. Five puzzles carry the team through the temple, from the hall of statues to the last door, where the team that solved everything steps back into daylight and earns a Temple Explorer diploma.
