Moat Crossing In this moat crossing, both players from each team cross the water simultaneously by laying their four boards upon two parallel bars, continually adjusting them as necessary to cross the entire pool.
Steps of KnowledgeTwo of the most famous explorers of the American West were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. In 1804, they left St. Louis with 50 men and set out for Oregon along the Missouri River. They mapped the terrain, studied the wildlife, and endured hunger, cold, floods, and wild animals. But the real hero of the expedition was one of Clark's men, an African-American named York. One day, while Clark and his men were setting up camp, a group of Blackfeet Indians came into camp with their weapons drawn. The chief walked up to York, but York didn't even flinch. The chief had never seen a man with dark skin and thought York must be a powerful wizard. Legend has it that he gave York his own necklace as an apology for disturbing him, then signaled his braves, and withdrew.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are 14-year-old Brandon, who is a video gamer (his favorite game being Mortal Kombat II), and 12-year-old Leah, who makes bracelets. The Red Jaguars are 13-year-old Holly, who has eight pets (two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and two kangaroo rats), and 14-year-old Jay, who plays basketball. Totem Poles (Pole)[] The Native Americans of the Northwest often built totem poles with the carved faces of their gods. When Kirk gave the signal, Holly and Leah had to grab a face and climb up the totem pole. At the top, they had to place the face on one of the four sides of the cube at the top. Once a face is placed, they had to climb down and do the same with the other three masks. The player with all four masks on their cube or the team furthest along in 60 seconds won. Leah placed her last mask on the last empty side of her cube before Holly could, awarding Leah a half Pendant of Life. Sailing Up the Missouri River (Boat)[]Lewis and Clark began their journey by sailing up the Missouri River to explore the vast Louisiana Territory. When Kirk gave the signal, Jay and Brandon had to push their boats down to the island on the other side. There, they had to then hop out of their boats, plant the flag to claim the new territory. After that, they had to hop back in the boat, grab the rope, and pull themselves back to the dock and climb onto it. If either player touched the floor, he would have gone back to the island and started again. The player to plant the flag and make it back to the dock or the team furthest along in 60 seconds won. Brandon made it back with thirty-seven seconds of spare time, awarding him a half Pendant of Life. Jay almost had it. Western US Locations (Slingshot Wall)[]On their way to the Pacific Ocean, Lewis and Clark explored the places shown on the wall before each team: Missouri River, Rocky Mountains, Columbia River, Pacific Ocean. Their tasks were to mark each of them. When Kirk gave the signal, the boys had to climb the wall to the first location while their partners had to load a marker in their slingshots and shoot it at them. When either male player caught it, he had to place it on the location, climb to the next one, and wait for the next marker. The first team with one marker in each location or the team furthest along in 60 seconds won. Both teams failed to get to the Pacific Ocean, so they tied with three marked locations each. However, the Red Jaguars had one pendant total while the Purple Parrots had two pendants, sending the Purple Parrots to Olmec's Temple.
Temple RunLeah went into the temple first. Despite having a good strategy to stay low in the temple. She unfortunately moved at an incredibly slow pace. Leah started at The Ledges and climbing down through the caverns. Once there, Leah uses the lower crawl tube to enter into The Pit of Despair. Kirk encourages her to move a bit faster if she wants to get to the bone necklace on time. But Leah kept the same speed as she stumbled a bit in The Pit before heading into The Throne Room. After sitting on the throne, she opens up the door to The Swamp but before she could even step foot in the room. The first temple guard jumps up and scares her and was forced to give up her pendant of life. After reaching the other side of the swamp, Leah was about to open up the door to The Dark Forest but stops as she was tempted to try the door leading up to The King's Storeroom. After stalling for several seconds, she decides to head up the ropes and try to open The King's Storeroom's door, but the door didn't open. With her questions having been answered, Leah quickly jumps down and heads into The Dark Forest. Even in The Dark Forest, Leah was confused on what to do, but eventually, she started reaching inside the tree for the key. But when checking the tree on the left, she was caught by the spirit of a temple guard hiding inside the left tree with 1:29 left. Thus removing her from the temple.   Brandon went off next to quickly retrace Leah's footsteps. Brandon fortunately moved at a moderately faster pace and was able to make it to The Dark Forest with 0:47 left. He finds the key in the left tree and uses it to ascend into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Luckily, Brandon was able to put together the monkey with no problems whatsoever and quickly makes his way into The King's Storeroom and grabs the bone necklace with 0:12 left. However, he did not have enough time to escape and time expired as he was entering The Throne Room from Medusa's Lair.
