What Is Temple Run 2?
Temple Run 2 is an endless runner from Imangi Studios set across cliffs, mines, ruins, and other dangerous routes. The character runs automatically while you steer, turn, jump, and slide to avoid traps and keep the escape going.

How to Play Temple Run 2
Use directional input to turn at corners and move across the path. Jump over gaps and low hazards, then slide beneath overhead obstacles. Collect coins and power-ups without leaving the safest available route.
Controls
- Arrow keys or swipe
Objectives
- Keep the escape going through turns and hazards.
- Collect reachable coins and useful power-ups.
- Improve distance without missing a route change.
Gameplay Mechanics
A winding route asks for turns as well as jumps and slides. Cliffs and changing terrain make the direction of the path important, while the chase keeps each decision brief. Looking ahead to the next bend helps avoid a correct dodge followed by a missed turn.

Tips & Strategies
- Enter corners near the center of the path so the next section begins with room to move.
- Prioritize survival over a line of coins once obstacles begin arriving in quick combinations.
FAQs
How is turning different from moving sideways?
Some route junctions require a timed turn rather than a simple lane change. Watch where the path bends and use the directional prompt when the character reaches that junction.
What should I prioritize during a long run?
Read the route first, then collect coins on a safe line. Prepare for jumps, slides, and turns before focusing on a pickup that could hide the next obstacle.
