Temple Run in IOS

The original endless runner

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

80/100

Temple Run is the game that arguably defined the endless runner genre on mobile. Even years after its release, the core gameplay loop remains incredibly compelling. Stealing the cursed idol and being chased by demon monkeys through a crumbling temple complex provides a high-stakes thrill that few games have replicated so simply.

The tilt and swipe controls are intuitive and responsive, requiring split-second reactions as you slide under fire traps or leap over broken paths. The progression system, involving coin collection and power-up upgrades, provides just enough incentive to keep coming back. While many sequels and clones have followed, the original Temple Run still stands as a testament to pure, distilled arcade fun.
