Legends of the Hidden Temple is a 90s game show where young contestants compete in physical and mental challenges to retrieve ancient artifacts and earn the right to enter the temple and claim The Lost Treasure of the Ancient World. The thirteenth episode of season one, titled "Episode 013," sees six new contestants compete in a series of challenges to make it to the temple and claim the treasure.
As the episode begins, host Kirk Fogg introduces the six contestants: two boys and four girls, all dressed in matching blue t-shirts. They are introduced by their team names: The Red Jaguars, The Blue Barracudas, The Green Monkeys, The Purple Parrots, The Silver Snakes, and The Orange Iguanas. The teams are sent off to compete in the first challenge: "Balancing Act." Each team member must cross a narrow balance beam while holding onto a rope. If they fall off, or if the rope touches the beam, they must start over at the beginning. The first four teams to make it to the other side advance to the next round.
The teams that make it through the first challenge move on to "The Moat," where they must cross a pool of water by swinging on a rope. The first two teams to make it across move on to the next round. The remaining four teams are eliminated from the competition.
The two teams that make it through "The Moat" move on to "The Steps of Knowledge," where they answer questions about history, geography, and other academic topics. The first team to answer three questions correctly earns the right to enter the temple. The other team is sent home.
The team that earns the right to enter the temple is given a pendant of life, which they can use to protect themselves from temple guards. They are sent off to retrieve three artifacts: a silver monkey, a jade necklace, and a jeweled crown. They have three minutes to complete the task, and if they are caught by a temple guard without a pendant of life, they are eliminated from the game.
The episode concludes with the victorious team entering the temple and reaching the room where the treasure is kept. They must put together all three artifacts in the correct order to claim the treasure and win the game.
Overall, "Episode 013" of Legends of the Hidden Temple is an exciting and action-packed episode that showcases the physical and mental skills of the young contestants. The challenges are designed to test their balance, coordination, and knowledge, and the temple run at the end of the episode is always a thrilling climax. As always, Kirk Fogg's enthusiastic hosting adds to the fun and excitement of the show. Fans of classic game shows and adventure programs will enjoy watching Legends of the Hidden Temple and rooting for their favorite teams.
