Moat CrossingOne member from each team is lying in a ring with a rope attached to it. At the start of the game, the first team member must pull themselves towards the other side of the moat with the help of the rope. If they fall out of the tube, then they must swim back to the start and begin the process again. Once they reached the other side of the moat, they must then throw their tube back to their partner, who must also pull themselves to the other side of the moat. While throwing the ring to their partner, the ring must make to them or else the first player must redo the throw. Once the second player successfully reaches the other side of the moat, then they must hit the gong.
Steps of KnowledgeDeep in the Sherwood Forest, a famous outlaw lived with his band of "Merry Men". His name was Robin Hood. Some say they were "Merry Men", because they didn't work. Others say it was because they wore green tights. But everyone was merry, until the Sheriff of Nottingham decided to force Maid Marian to marry him. Robin Hood, Maid Marian's boyfriend, was very upset by this. So, he sneaked into Nottingham to rescue her. Preparations for the marriage had already begun. Maid Marian screamed and cried and stamped her feet. Finally, she locked herself in her tower room, where she convinced her friend, the seamstress, to make an escape ladder with the silk that was supposed to be used for her wedding dress. That night, Marian lowered the ladder from her tower window and escaped into the waiting arms of Robin Hood. Off they went to Sherwood Forest, where they lived happily ever after. The ladder, on the other hand, ended up in the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Silver Snakes are 12-year-olds Erica, who collects pencils (has over 200; never sharpens them; her favorite has a massive eraser), and Jeremy, who collects sports cards (favorite is Dan Marino rookie; has over 10,000). The Purple Parrots are 11-year-olds Nicole, who collects glass figurines (has over 50; favorite is one shaped like a teddy bear; broke an expensive one), and Dustin, who rides motorcycles (has a PW-80 Suzuki; rides it in the dirt; says he looks like a dork with a massive helmet on while riding it). Maid Marian's Window (Climbing Wall)[]Legend has it that Robin Hood used to leave love letters on the window of Maid Marian's room. When Kirk said go, Erica and Dustin had to each grab a letter, climb to the top, and attach it to Maid Marian's window. Then, they had to climb back down and repeat the process until either player had all five of their letters on Maid Marian's window or the team with the most letters on Maid Marian's window at the end of 60 seconds won. Dustin had too much trouble climbing, and was unable to get any love letters on Maid Marian's window. Erica however, got two of her love letters on Maid Marian's window, awarding her a half pendant of life. Rob from the Rich and Give to the Poor (Bungee Soap Mat)[]Robin Hood robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, and while the crew did not want to promote anything illegal, they thought they would like to reenact the event. There were two rich people at the front and two poor people at the back. When Kirk said go, Jeremy and Nicole each had to crawl to their rich person, grab a bag of gold, and move it to the poor side and repeat the process. The first player to move four bags of gold to the poor side or the team with the most bags of gold on the poor side at the end of 60 seconds won. Both players had one bag of gold, awarding them a half pendant each. Airborne Archery (Water Chute)[]They say Robin Hood was such a skilled archer, he could hit any target while swinging on a vine. The crew thought they would like to test that out with their own version of airborne archery. Before each team was a chute with a slide with a bulls-eye at the end. One player from each team with an arrow on their head and slide down the chute along the ramp and then throw the arrow through the bulls-eye. Their partner will then repeat the process. The team with the most bulls-eyes in 60 seconds won. The Silver Snakes won the game after scoring eight bulls-eyes over the Purple Parrots' seven, awarding the Silver Snakes a full pendant and sending them to Olmec's Temple with two full pendants.
Temple RunErica went into the temple first, moving at a moderately fast pace. She decided to head up into The Room of the Royal Gongs first. But after pressing on all three gongs, the only door that ended up opening was the door that led to The Cave of Sighs. Once there, Erica then opens up the upper crawl tube and climbs down into The Wheel Room. She quickly turns the wheel and lifts the stone slab to reveal the door to The Throne Room. But upon sitting down on the throne, Erica encounters the first Temple Guard, who emerges from the golden doors. After she gave the temple guard her pendant, she climbs up into The Heart Room, but before Erica could do anything, the second Temple Guard captures her, and takes her out of the temple with 2:07 left on the clock. Jeremy went into the temple next. While he may have moved at a slightly slower pace than Erica, he knew exactly what to do during his time in the temple and still made good use of his time. (Despite a few bumps). Going through the exact same path as Erica, Jeremy was able to pass through the first three rooms no problem. But upon entering The Throne Room, Jeremy did not know that the door to The Heart Room was already opened, and presumed he still had to sit on the throne. And even after sitting on the throne, Jeremy tried to open the door to The Holes of Python. But as soon as Kirk told him to go up, Jeremy immediately heads up into The Heart Room and continues from there. Upon exiting the ladder shaft, Jeremy immediately opens the door to The Treasure Room. And upon entering The Treasure Room, Jeremy then unlocks the door to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. And with 1:03 left on the clock, Jeremy grabs the silk ladder, and starts to make his way out of the temple. Running back through The Treasure Room, up through The Observatory, (almost nearly heading back down into The Heart Room), moving across The Troubled Bridge, and passing through The Room of the Royal Gongs, before finally arriving back to the temple gates with thirty-three seconds to spare. Thus, earning himself and Erica the trip to space camp!
