Description
Forget methodical dungeon crawlers; this is a pure, high-voltage shot of arcade adrenaline. Welcome to Tomb of the Mask, a retro-styled, infinite vertical labyrinth where your reflexes are your only weapon. After finding a mysterious mask, you gain the power to instantly scale walls, sending you blazing through a procedurally generated tomb. But there's no time to sightsee—a relentless, mysterious energy surges up from below, forcing you to move with feverish, split-second precision. When you play Tomb of the mask and earn coin by collecting dots and stars, you can unlock a host of new masks with unique abilities.
The Shadow Temple Awaits!
The tomb just got a whole lot darker. Our latest major update, "The Shadow Temple," plunges adventurers into a perilous new environment where the only light comes from the glowing dots you collect. This update introduces new 'Shadow Beast' enemies that lurk in the darkness and can only be defeated by luring them into the light. We've also added the legendary 'Wraith Mask,' an exclusive unlockable that allows you to phase through a single trap once per run, offering a vital new strategic edge.
Instructions
Master the Maze
Survival is all about instinct and control. The controls are deceptively simple:
- Move: Press and hold the Up, Down, Left, or Right arrow key. Your character will instantly dash in that direction until they hit a wall.
- Change Direction: Release and press a new arrow key to change your trajectory mid-dash.
- Objective: Climb as high as you can, collect as many coins and dots as possible, and don't let the rising void consume you!
The Tomb Raider's Almanac: Your Q&A
Is this game really free to play?
Yes, 100%. The thrill of the chase should be for everyone. Delivering top-tier, adrenaline-fueled entertainment at no cost is our core philosophy. You can read all about our mission at Instaplay Zone to see what drives us. Every mask is unlockable through skill.
How do I earn coins faster?
By being a greedy adventurer! Coins are everywhere. Focus on weaving through the maze to collect every single dot and star in your path. Keep an eye out for the shield power-up, which often lets you safely break through walls into secret, treasure-filled rooms. The faster and more thorough you are, the richer you'll become.
What's the best strategy for a high score?
Look two moves ahead. The game is too fast to react; you have to anticipate. As you're moving in one direction, your eyes should already be scanning for your next turn. This kind of look-ahead gameplay is the key to mastering many of the best adventure games and is absolutely essential for survival in the tomb.
Can you perform a "Hero Rescue" in this game?
That's the ultimate test of your reflexes! The "Hero Rescue" in Tomb of the Mask is when you make a mistake—you dash the wrong way and are hurtling towards a wall of deadly spikes. Defeat seems inevitable. But at the last possible millisecond, you grab a shield power-up that just appeared, crashing harmlessly through the trap and "rescuing" your run from certain death. It's a heart-stopping, legendary save.
Do I need to download anything to start exploring?
Not a thing. Tomb of the Mask is built with a lightweight and powerful HTML5 engine, so it runs instantly and smoothly right in your web browser. No installers, no waiting—just click and start your frantic climb in seconds on any modern PC or laptop.
