Legends of the Hidden Temple is a game show that aired from 1993 to 1995 on Nickelodeon. The show featured teams of two children, dubbed "Red Jaguars," "Blue Barracudas," "Green Monkeys," "Orange Iguanas," "Purple Parrots" and "Silver Snakes," competing in a series of physical and mental challenges to win prizes and the chance to enter the "Temple," a large artificial jungle filled with various obstacles, hidden treasures and temple guards.
In Episode 056 of the show's second season, six new teams of children arrive at Olmec's Temple, ready to face a series of new challenges in the hopes of winning the grand prize. Each team consists of a boy and a girl, and they are all eager to show their physical prowess and problem-solving skills. The host, Kirk Fogg, introduces them to Olmec, a giant talking Mayan temple head, who explains the rules of the game and provides historical background on each challenge.
The first challenge is the "Leaping Lizards," in which the teams must cross a large pit full of foam lily pads. The catch is that they must jump from one pad to another using a rope that's hanging from the ceiling. If they fall off, they must go back to the starting point and try again. The second challenge is called "Golden Staff of the Pharaoh," and it involves retrieving a staff from a hidden chamber of the temple while avoiding various obstacles and temple guards.
Once the first two challenges are completed, the remaining teams move on to the third challenge, "The Hidden Treasure of Temple Run." In this game, one team member is blindfolded while the other gives them directions on how to navigate a series of narrow walkways and obstacles to find a hidden treasure chest. The catch is that the team member giving directions can only use a limited set of verbal cues and hand gestures, making communication trickier.
The fourth challenge is "The Shrine of the Silver Monkey," where the teams must assemble a silver monkey statue. The monkey has three pieces – a head, a body, and a base – and they must be assembled in the correct order. The catch is that all teams must first retrieve the pieces from different rooms in the temple, making the challenge a race to find the pieces before the others.
The fifth and final challenge is "The Temple Run," where the remaining teams race to the temple and attempt to retrieve a hidden artifact before the others. The temple is filled with various obstacles, traps, and temple guards. The catch is that each team has only three minutes to make it through the temple, making the race against time an added challenge.
With the challenges completed and the scores tallied, one team emerges victorious and moves on to the ultimate challenge – a race to retrieve the "Temple Prize," a large gemstone that's hidden deep within the temple. Kirk Fogg reminds the team that they must be fast and efficient, but also smart and careful, if they hope to make it through the temple and win the grand prize.
As the team races through the temple, they overcome various obstacles, outrun temple guards, and make their way to the treasure room. Only feet away from the prize, the team faces their final challenge – a hidden switch that must be found to unlock the door to the prize. With seconds to spare, the team finds the switch, unlocks the door, and retrieves the gemstone, winning the grand prize and becoming legends of the hidden temple.
Overall, Episode 056 of Legends of the Hidden Temple is a thrilling and action-packed episode that showcases the physical and mental prowess of six new teams of child contestants. With a variety of new challenges, hidden treasures, and temple guards, the episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, cheering on their favorite teams and hoping for a victory.
