Moat CrossingBefore each team was a bridge of floating rings. When Kirk gave the signal, the first player had to scramble across the floating rings to the other side of the moat. Once across, they then had to step off, signaling their partner to do the same. As always, when both players were across, they had to then run over and hit the gong.
Steps of KnowledgeLong ago, an Englishman went to Egypt to study archaeology. That quiet student of lost civilizations eventually became the great war hero Lawrence of Arabia. During World War I, he dressed up like an Arab and fought behind enemy lines. Legend has it, though, that dressing up like an Arab wasn't all his idea. One day, he and Hassid, his faithful Arab servant, saddled up their camels for a day trip to a nearby oasis. Halfway there, a sudden sandstorm came up, and they lost their way. When the dust settled, they were face-to-face with enemy troops. "Relax, boss," said Hassid. He whipped out a tablecloth from his saddle pack and threw it over Lawrence's head like a traditional Arab headdress. "Keep your head down and nod a lot." The soldiers didn't suspect a thing and let them go. Lawrence loved his new headgear so much that he wore it for the rest of the war.
Temple GamesThe Red Jaguars are fourteen-year-old Angel, who plays the trumpet in a band (his favorite song to play being "Yesterday" by the Beatles), and twelve-year-old Brittany who dances jazz, tap, and ballet. The Green Monkeys are thirteen-year-old David Hill, who plays soccer, and fourteen-year-old Candice, who writes plays. Eye on the Nile (Obelisk)[] When Kirk said "go," Angel and David had to start at the base, grab the thread, climb to the eye of the needle, drop it, climb back down, thread it through the eye on the floor, and repeat the process. The first player to thread both eyes or the player furthest along in sixty seconds won. Both players managed to thread the bottom eye once, but David threaded the top eye again at the last second, awarding him a half pendant of life. Long-Tailed Turbans (Dragon Tunnel)[] Crossing enemy lines when you are wearing a turban can be tough, especially when you have to tunnel under them. When Kirk said "go," Brittany and Candice had to burrow through the dragon tunnels as quickly as they can, and grab the turban tail at the other side, put it on their heads, and come back through the tunnel. Unfortunately, the turban has a long tail, so when either player returns to their starting side, she had to keep pulling their turban tail behind them. The first player to pull their turban all the way through the tunnel or the player furthest along in sixty seconds won. Candice managed to pull her turban tail all the way out with fourteen seconds of spare time, awarding her a half pendant of life. Egyptian Pyramids (Water Ramp)[]  Lawrence of Arabia originally came to Egypt to study the pyramids. Here, both teams had to reconstruct an ancient Egyptian pyramid. At the base of each pyramid were three huge blocks. The first player from each team had to sit with the block behind him/her, and when Kirk said "go," use their legs and push themselves up to the top of the pyramid then slide back down, touch their partner, signaling their turn to do the same. The first team with all three blocks at the top or the team furthest along in sixty seconds won. Neither team got all three of their blocks at the top, but the Green Monkeys managed to get two blocks at the top while the Red Jaguars had one, sending the Green Monkeys to the temple with two full pendants.
Temple RunCandice went into the temple first, moving at a fast pace. She started by going into The Cave of Sighs and instantly met a Temple Guard as soon as tried to climb within the cavern. Completely unfazed by the guard, she swiftly gave the temple guard her pendant of life and continues her journey within the temple. Candice then tries to open the door to The Wheel Room, but it was locked, so she was forced to go up into The Room of the Royal Gongs. In the room, Candice was able to unlock the door leading down into The Troubled Bridge after pressing only one gong. Racing across the bridge, Candice then heads up into The Observatory where she spins the celestial lights and unlocks both of the doors leading to The Room of Fallen Columns and The Treasury of Golden Orbs. Deciding that heading directly down was the best option, Candice then climbs down into The Room of the Fallen Columns. But unfortunately, the second Temple Guard was hiding in that room and captured her. Thus, ending Candice's journey within the temple with 2:02 left on the clock. David went in next, moving at first at a moderate pace but then picked up a lot of speed later on. Following the same path as Candice, David made his way into The Room of Fallen Columns with 1:34 left on the clock. Once there, David then opens up the door that will lead him into The Treasury of Golden Orbs. But upon entering the room, David met the third and final Temple Guard and had to give up his pendant of life. Now with no more temple guards, the only thing David has left to worry about is getting to the headdress on time. After his encounter with the guard, David then grabs one of the orbs and places it on the middle pedestal. However, he had a bit of trouble placing it securely on there, but eventually, he unlocked the door leading into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey with 1:03 remaining. After picking up all three pieces and assembling it in an astonishing sixteen seconds he then unlocks both of the doors leading into The Well, and The Tomb of the Ancient Kings. David then made a smart move, as he decides to climb down into The Tomb of the Ancient Kings. (Which was a quicker route to The Holes of Python).
