Curse of the Moon Temple
Find the missing archaeologist and break the curse before the moon rises, played on your team's phones.
About
Archaeologist Elena has gone missing inside the Moon Temple. Legend says whoever opens the Treasure Chamber before moonrise will break the temple’s curse, and your teams are the expedition sent to find her.
The search runs on GoQuest, TeamTika’s team game app, with each team on a phone or tablet. Three chapters lead from the Moon Temple Gate through the Tomb Maze to the Treasure Chamber. The 12 tasks include Roman numerals on the gate, a maze junction solved with geometry, a word carved backwards, an altar that needs exactly the right weight and the sphinx’s famous riddle, plus stone guardian poses and an escape from a rolling boulder.
The leaderboard runs live on the big screen. As the moon rises, teams chant the spell together and free Elena.
At 75 minutes, it is a compact, story-rich adventure that fits easily into a conference day.
Learning outcomes
Roman numerals, geometry and a weighted altar are small logic problems that reward teams who explain their thinking to each other before answering once.
The rolling boulder and the stone guardians get everyone moving and laughing, which loosens up even formal groups.
The sphinx's riddle is a classic lesson in looking at a problem from a different angle.
The expedition journal at the end lets each team decide together what to do with the treasure.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part?
We run up to 30 teams per event, each playing on its own phone or tablet. Players join in the phone browser with a game code, so there is nothing to install. Tell us your headcount and we will suggest team sizes.
How long does the program take?
About 75 minutes of play, plus a short briefing at the start and the leaderboard reveal at the end.
Is 75 minutes enough?
Yes. Curse of the Moon Temple was written as a compact 75-minute game, which makes it easy to fit between conference sessions or before dinner.
Can this be run indoors or outdoors?
Both. The tasks only need the app and things found nearby, so it works in a meeting room, a hotel ballroom, a resort or a garden.
Is the game available in Vietnamese?
Yes. Curse of the Moon Temple has full English and Vietnamese versions, and we set the language for each event.
