Adventure Escape Hidden Ruins opens with you and your team in a jungle. The initial section acts as a tutorial on the basic mechanics of the game, collecting items and using them.

Following the tutorial instructions, tap to collect the machete from the jeep and then and use it to cut the vines.

Pick up the star.

Collect the shovel next to the jeep and use it on the tablet sticking up out of the ground. The tablet shows 4 symbols. Now we can examine the entrance door and the wheel puzzle and solve it.

Solution:

Tap to enter the cave, it is dark inside.

Collect the torch from the right side of the path and then use it with the fire on the left to light it. Then use this lit torch on the bridge section to light the oil lamps.

The bridge is a puzzle. You must tap stone to step on to cross the bridge in the right order from the left to the right hand side. If you step on the in correct stone it will collapse and you will need to start again.

You are now inside a temple entrance area with a number of animal headed statues and two doorways.

First go through the doorway on the left.

Collect the ceremonial dagger from the wall and use it to cut the vines and collect them. Then tap the rocks on the ground to move them (2 sections) and collect two parts of a scythe from under them. Use the collected vines on the parts on the ground to combine them and collect a full scythe.

Take note of the images on the wall, these are clues for a later.

Go back to the entrance area and then go through the door on the right.

Star: On the ground near some stone left of center.

Collect 3 pottery shards from the room (Shelf on the right, just below on the rocks on the right. on the stones on the left.) Then collect a scroll from the ground below the tree roots.

Pick a large leaf from the tree roots then use the dagger to cut the roots to reveal a sticky sap. Use the leaf on this sap to collect some.

Now tap on the broken ancient pot on the shelf on the left and add the three shards to it. You need to reassemble the pot by moving the pieces back into place. Once done use the sap to glue it then pick it up.

As in the previous room take and note of the drawings on the wall for more clues.

Now return to the entrance area with the 4 statues. Note we also have 4 items in our inventory. To proceed we need to give an item to each of the statues.

Hint:

Solution:

The central small dome will open and you can now collect the Key of Ages. This completes chapter 1, you can now move on to chapter 2.
