Temple Run 2

Temple Run 2 is the endless runner that sends you sprinting through ancient temples with a demonic monkey on your heels. You run, jump, slide, and swerve along a crumbling path, grabbing coins and power-ups while trying to stay one step ahead of the beast chasing you down.

What is Temple Run 2?

Building on the original, Temple Run 2 adds richer environments and a stack of new mechanics: zip-lines, mine-cart sections, sheer drops, and tilting stretches where you lean to collect coins. The loop is classic endless-runner — you never stop moving, your inputs are turn, jump, and slide at the right instant, and one mistake sends you off a cliff or into a wall so the monkey catches up.

Coins buy upgrades and new characters, which gives every run a sense of progress even when you wipe out early.

How to Play Temple Run 2

Keep running and react to what appears. Sharp corners need a turn at the right instant, gaps need a jump, low obstacles need a slide, and some sections have you tilt the path side to side to scoop up coins or dodge into the safe lane. Power-ups — the shield, boost, and coin magnet — temporarily change the rules in your favor.

Survive as long as you can while banking coins and gems. The further you run, the faster and denser the obstacles get.

Temple Run 2 Tips

Upgrade power-ups early

A longer-lasting shield or magnet turns marginal runs into great ones. Spend your first coins on upgrades rather than new characters.

Look one step ahead

The path telegraphs what is coming a moment early, so turn before you reach the corner rather than after.

Commit on tilt and mine-cart sections

In those segments, pick a lane early and ride it instead of weaving late and missing coins or hitting a wall.

Save gems for revives

A gem revive on a long, high-scoring run is worth far more than spending gems on cosmetics.

Do not risk a great run for coins

A coin line at the edge of a gap is not worth ending a personal best. Take the safe lane first.

Learn the zip-line and cart exits

The transitions between sections are where runs often die. Note where each zip-line drops you and where the cart track ends.
