Temple of the Forbidden Eye Referenced in New Indiana Jones Video Game

The upcoming video game “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” features a reference to Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

Disney Parks Reference in New Indiana Jones Video Game

An open journal IN the scene reveals a mysterious temple map and a photograph of a mummified cat. The screen on the left lists tasks, including photographing the cat mummy, finding a golden pendant, and locating a gramophone record.

The reference appears in the new gameplay trailer (below). A clip showcasing Indy’s journal shows a map of the Temple of the Forbidden Eye among his notes. The page where Indy has placed the map is dated October 21, 1937, when the game is set. Temple of the Forbidden Eye is set in 1935, indicating Indy put together this collection a couple of years later.

The folded map features Mara’s eye, the giant snake, and the temple itself. A real version of this map appears in the Indiana Jones Adventure queue and the red text next to the snake is actually in the queue’s made-up language. At one time, Cast Members handed out decoders for guests to read the language as they waited. Here is what this text says:

Beware the false pathways that lead to death
