Temple Run 2 Unblocked — Play Free Online

Temple Run 2 is an endless runner from Imangi Studios, the sequel to the mobile hit that popularised the genre. You play an explorer who has just grabbed a cursed idol, and the demon monkeys guarding it are already on your heels. There is no finish line: you run until you stumble, and the only goal is to go further than last time while picking up coins along the way.

A session is short and tense. Each run lasts anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, and every mistake ends it, so you can fit in a quick attempt between other things. It sits a long way from the slow, thoughtful table games that fill the rest of Guess Who, which makes it a handy change of pace when you want something that runs on reflexes instead of planning. It plays in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Your character runs forward on their own, so your job is to react to what the path throws at you. The controls are:

• Left and Right arrows turn at corners (and shift you at forks).
• Up arrow jumps over gaps and low obstacles.
• Down arrow slides under overhead branches and traps.
• A and D lean left and right, which is how you steer while riding a mine cart or collecting coins along the edge of the path.

The path is built from pieces that fit together in a different order each run, so you cannot memorise a course. You learn the vocabulary instead: a gap needs a jump, a low beam needs a slide, a sharp bend needs a turn at the right moment. Coins add up to your score and are used for upgrades, and the distance you cover is the main measure of how well you did.

Tips

• Look a little way ahead of your character rather than at them. The obstacle you are about to meet matters less than the one after it, especially when two hazards are chained together.
• Commit to the turn or jump. Tapping early or late is the most common way to end a run, and a clean, slightly early input usually beats a frantic late one.
• On mine-cart sections, use the lean keys for small corrections instead of big swings so you stay on the rails and still reach the coins.
• Keep one hand ready on the arrow keys at all times. Rests between obstacles are brief, and the pace picks up the longer you survive.

Similar games on Guess Who

Nothing else here is an endless runner, so the closest comparisons are by contrast. Ludo King and Backgammon are turn-based and dice-driven, Master Chess and Classic Chess reward long-term planning, and Four In A Row and Tic Tac Toe 3 are quick logic duels. Temple Run 2 is the one to open when you want constant motion and fast reactions rather than a position to think about.

It suits solo players who like beating their own best distance, and it works best with a keyboard, since the turn, jump, slide and lean keys are all in easy reach.
