Is Temple Run a Chinese app? Answering the game's origin question

Temple Run is one of the most fun and casual mobile games of all time. The game features a character who will embark on an adventure to seek an ancient and valuable golden idol from an Aztec temple. However, the temple is guarded by a huge demonic monkey who will devour the explorer if it catches him/her.

Temple Run is supposed to be endless, however, the game can still end if the player collides with a structure, jumps into water or ultimately gets caught by the demonic monkey.

As the level progresses, it becomes more difficult for players to cope with the speed of the game and avoid obstacles. Super quick reflexes are required to get a high score in this game. There are three types of coins in the game: Gold, red and blue coins, which add to the players' points at the ends of the run.

These coins can also be used for spending on power-ups, which will grant players an advantage in their next run. All this is why people love playing Temple Run, and it is still one of the most-downloaded games today.

However, many Chinese applications got banned by the Indian government last night, and gamers might be curious about the origin of Temple Run, and whether it also met the same fate.
