In tomb of the mask, players control a character who discovers a mysterious mask inside an ancient tomb. After putting on the mask, the character gains the ability to move extremely quickly through the maze-like tomb. Players swipe in different directions to guide the character through narrow passages, collect objects, and avoid dangerous obstacles. The goal is to survive as long as possible while earning a high score.

One of the most interesting features of the game is its fast movement. Once the character starts moving in a direction, they continue until they hit a wall or another obstacle. This makes every movement important because players need to think quickly and choose the correct path. As the game becomes more difficult, players encounter enemies, traps, and other hazards that require quick reactions and careful planning.
