Temple Quest

About Temple Quest

You shouldn't have stolen that artifact. Temple Quest is an endless running game set in a maze of temple ruins: you run for your life, collect golden idols, ancient coins and power-ups, and get past the obstacles in your way for as long as you can.

There is more to it than distance. Fulfilling the game's objectives grows your score multiplier, power-ups can be upgraded, and outfits with special abilities help you get even further on later runs.

How to play

Run as far as you can through the temple ruins, avoiding obstacles. Collect coins, golden idols and power-ups along the way, and work on the objectives — completing them grows your score multiplier. Between runs, upgrade your power-ups and unlock outfits with special abilities.

Tips to win

• Work on the objectives — they grow your score multiplier, not just your distance.
• Spend coins on power-up upgrades so the pickups help you more on later runs.
• Pick an outfit for its special ability, not only for how it looks.

Temple Quest strategy guide

Objectives are how your score grows. Temple Quest gives you objectives to fulfill, and completing them grows your score multiplier. That changes how you should think about a run: distance matters, but a run spent working toward an objective builds your scoring power for every run after it. Check what the game is asking for before you start, and keep it in mind while you play.

Collect everything that helps. The temple ruins are full of golden idols, ancient coins and power-ups. Coins and idols add to what you bring home from a run, and power-ups help you survive. Grabbing a pickup is only worth it if the path to it is safe, though — swerving into an obstacle to reach one coin is a bad trade.

Upgrade your power-ups. Power-ups are not fixed; you can upgrade them. An upgraded power-up does more for you during a run, which helps you get further and collect more. Putting your coins into upgrades is a steady way to make every future run a little stronger.

Outfits do more than change your look. You can try out different outfits, and each one comes with a special ability meant to help you get even further. Think about what usually ends your runs and choose an outfit whose ability helps with that, rather than picking purely on appearance.

Stay calm when the maze gets busy. The temple is described as an endless maze, and the obstacles keep coming. The runs that last are the ones where you watch the path ahead rather than your character, so you have time to react before an obstacle is on top of you. The final question the game asks is simple: how far can you get?
