'''Temple Run''', as well as its variant '''Temple Run: Brave''', is an endless [[action]] game developed by the Washington, D.C.-based [[Imangi Studios]]. The game revolves around several curious explorers attempting to steal an idol from a temple and being chased by "demonic monkeys". The player controls the explorers with a few simple touchscreen gestures and device tilting and aims to run as far as possible without dying. It is currently available for [[iOS]] systems, including the [[iPhone]] and the [[iPad]], and the [[Android]] platform.
'''Temple Run''', as well as its variant '''Temple Run: Brave''', is an endless [[action]] game developed by the Washington, D.C.-based [[Imangi Studios]]. It was released for [[iOS]] systems, including the [[iPhone]] and the [[iPad]], and for [[Android]] devices.
 
==Walkthrough==
Temple Run centers around a group of wandering explorers, where one of the characters, whom you control, steals an idol from an ancient temple. You control the character's movements after they have stolen the idol. Immediately upon acquiring the idol, you are pursued by a group of malignant demonic monkeys who chase you out of the temple, thus initiating a "temple run".
 
There is no finish line nor are there levels; the object of the game is to run as far as possible by avoiding obstacles that require you to either jump, duck, or turn in a precise manner. While running you can also collect coins and powerups. You die from being caught by the monkeys that are chasing you, but there are numerous ways that can happen. Running into most obstacles will stop you completely, allowing the monkeys to catch you. Some obstacles will just make you stumble, which allows the monkeys to get close to you, but not catch you. If you run well, you will get back ahead of the monkeys, however if you stumble again while the monkeys are right behind you, they will catch you. You will also be caught by failing to turn with the path, falling off the path or making a turn in a direction that the path breaks.
 
===Controls===
The game is controlled by touch motions on the screen and by tilting the device.
*'''Jump''': Swipe upward
*'''Slide''': Swipe downward
*'''Turn left or right''': Swipe left or right
*'''Move to left or right side of path''': Tilt left or right
*'''Activate Resurrect utility''': Double-tap screen
 
===Display===
The camera is behind your character, who appears to be running away from you down the path during the game. The path takes up the majority of the screen, showing a limited amount of the path ahead so you can make decisions on avoiding obstacles and choosing which direction to turn. In the upper left hand corner is your bonus meter, which fills up and gives you a point bonus for every 100 coins you collect.
 
In the upper right hand corner of the screen are two counters and your Resurrect display. The top counter is your score and the one right below it is your coins. If you have a Resurrect [[#Utilities|utility]], a pair of wings will display below the coin counter letting you know you can use them. The wings disappear when you use them, but will come back after 1,000 meters if you have more in your stock.
 
The last display item is in the lower right hand corner below the golden. You can use this pause button to pause the game. When you come back from a pause or back from leaving the game while in the middle of a run, you will start where you left off after a 3-2-1 countdown.
 
===Obstacles===
As you run different obstacles will be in your way, forcing you to move your character to avoid them. Some obstacles have multiple options for avoiding them, and the tutorial may only show you one way.

===Terrain===
There are three types of terrain you will be running on and not every terrain has every type of obstacle.

! Characteristics
|-
! Brick path
| align=center | Middle
|
* It is the starting area for the runner
* The path contains every type of obstacle except for stone gates, tree trunks are relatively uncommon, and small and large tree roots are very common
* The path may have the sides crumbled away; they can be evaded by jumping or running on the good side
* The path may give long straightaways instead of a long series of quick turns
|-
! Wooden path
| align=center | Low
|
* The runner be safely dropped down to this path, but it trickier to come back up to a different terrain
* The path contains every type of obstacle except for tree trunks
* The path may give a long series of quick turns instead of long straightaways
|-
! Stone path
| align=center | High
|
* Running to either side too far of the narrow path may result in death
* The path contains only gaps and tree trunks as obstacles
* The path may give a long series of quick turns instead of long straightaways
|}
 
==Score==
The object is to survive, while also getting the most points and coins possible. The longer you survive, the more points you acquire, and your score can be used to unlock [[#Objectives|objectives]]. Your score is determined by the points you earn and your multiplier. You earn points by running farther and collecting coins and powerups.
 
You get:
* 1 point per meter
* 5 points per coin
* 25 points per powerup
 
Coins come in yellow, red and blue, worth 1, 2 and 3 points respectively. Coins appear in lines along the path in the center or to one of the sides and each line usually contains 25 coins if not broken by a turn in the path or an obstacle. The red and blue coins will start appearing the farther you run and are evenly interspersed into the coin lines. When you get to the reds, they replace ten of the normal coins and when you get to the blues, they replace another ten of the yellow ones.
 
You also earn points by filling up the bonus meter in the upper left corner each time you collect 100 coins. The circle at the top of the meter starts out empty, and every time you fill the meter a piece is added until all three pieces are in place. The first piece is worth is 100 points, the second is worth 250 points and the last is worth 500 points. Every time you fill the meter when the circle is full, you will get an additional 500 points. Stumbling or resurrecting will cause the bonus meter to reset, in which case you must earn all three pieces again.
 
Finally, your multiplier is applied to every point you earn. You start the game with a 10× multiplier and each [[#Objectives|objective]] you earn increases your multiplier by 1, so you can have a maximum multiplier of 67× after completing all the objectives.
 
In addition, you can boost your coins earned (and thereby your score) with the Coin Magnet powerup, which allows you to collect more coins and multiplies their value by 2× or 3× depending on how much you upgrade it. To score well, try to complete as many of the objectives as possible as early as possible, as they have the biggest impact on your score. After that, the Coin Magnet and Coin Value powerups will help the most, as will buying a lot of Resurrect utilities to keep your run going.
 
==Store==
Coins collected in the game can be used to purchase items in the store. These can help you prolong your run, collect more coins or let you make cosmetic changes. It is also possible to buy coins with real money through the store.
 
===Powerups===
Powerups are one time purchases that permanently change effects in runs. Each powerup has six upgrade levels except for the Coin Value powerup.

==Objectives==
Objectives are unlocked by performing certain actions during a run or by buying things in the store. Each objective you unlock adds to your score multiplier, making higher scores more easily attained the more objectives you earn. Objectives are unlocked at the runs, so even the store purchase objectives require you to at least complete one more run to obtain. At the end of runs you will be notified of any objectives you have obtained along with an update to your score multiplier and a notice of the next unobtained objective in the list.

==Cheats and glitches==
*'''Cheat codes''': For iOS versions of the game before version 1.4, you can use the keyboard at the title screen. Since the 1.4 update, that feature has been disabled on all but jailbroken phones and the iPad Touch. "samhines86" unlocks permanent invincibility and "rxh7nigh" unlocks the characters.
*'''Infinite run''': During the tutorial (turn tutorial to on in options), quickly swipe multiple times during a turn and the camera will flip around and you'll be on an infinite straightaway with no turns or obstacles. You score will continue to go up and you can collect coins through the Mega Coin powerup, but you can't keep either because the tutorial starts over if you kill yourself by running into the wall.
 
==Temple Run: Brave==
In June 2012, it was announced that Imangi Studios had tied up with Disney to promote the movie Brave with a game titled Temple Run: Brave that released on [[June 14]] for the iOS and on [[June 25]] for Android. Unlike the original free game, it costs 99 cents to purchase.
 
Temple Run: Brave is set in the forests and wild of Scotland, with the default and only character, Merida. Like the original Temple Run game, Temple Run: Brave has its own store, but different. In the Store one can buy the same boosts in the original Temple Run, and the player can upgrade them afterward, like Invisibility, Mega Coins, Coin Magnet, Double Value, and other utilities. The player can also buy gowns, dresses and armor for Merida to wear during the run, or some new wallpapers. As the original game, Temple Run: Brave's objective is to keep on running and avoiding the dangers along the way for the longest time, while being chased by a wild animal.
 
The all new feature for Temple Run: Brave is archery. Along the way on one's run, an archery symbol will appear and some dots above it, acting as a signal that there will be bullseyes to shoot at. The dots are the number of targets in this area. On the left and right hand sides, the player will then find archery targets; by just touching the screen, an arrow will be shot accurately on the upcoming target. When the player finishes hitting all targets in the area, they will take a coin bonus, and will have to wait for another area with archery targets.
 
The game was released on Windows 8 in 2013. The following guide below was made using Windows 8, but should apply for all versions.
 
'''--- Windows 8 PC keyboard and mouse controls ---'''
* Arrow keys, Movement between the three lanes, sharp turn, jump and slide
