In EXIT: The Sacred Temple, you are racing through the jungle on a small island in the Indian Ocean, trying to save the professor and find the Sacred Temple before the treasure hunters do.

This time, it’s different because there are riddles within riddles hidden within puzzles. Like other EXITs before it, this game has no game board, and it also has no cards. Instead, in this new addition to the EXIT series, there are four puzzles that you will find during play and assemble one section at a time, one puzzle after another. Each puzzle creates an image that will show you what you need to find in the game and what each room looks like.

At the start of the game, all you have available to you is the puzzle bag containing pieces with a grayish-blue back and no pattern, and the decoder disk. There are also strange items to be found within the game that may be used to help solve the riddles found in each of the puzzles.

The game ends when you have solved the last riddle and saved the professor and the temple!.
