Moat CrossingIn this moat crossing, teammates cross the water simultaneously by swinging on multiple "ancient Babylonian wheels."
Steps of Knowledge One of the greatest African leaders in the 1600's was the Queen of the Ndongo Tribe, Nzinga. When she was young, her brother sent her to make a treaty with the Portuguese Governor in Luanda, the capital of modern Angola. "Be strong," he said, "because the Portuguese are treacherous." When she arrived, the Governor, on his throne, waited for her to speak. "Do you not offer me a place to sit?" asked Nzinga. "That is for equals," said the Governor. "You are not my equal." "I am an emissary of the King of Ndongo, and I am your equal." Nzinga clapped her hands, and one of her attendants knelt down on all fours. She sat on his back and proposed a treaty. By the end of her visit, they made the treaty on her terms. When her brother died, Nzinga became queen, and for over thirty years, she kept her people free. Legend has it that her grateful subjects treasured her crown long after she died.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are Tracey, who wanted to be a technical engineer and does gymnastics, and Robbie, who is interested in paleontology. The Red Jaguars are Benjamin, who does basketball and water skiing, and Renee, who plays tennis, wanted to be a doctor, and does dance. Snake Worship (Squirting Statue)[]In Queen Nzinga's time, many Africans worshiped animals - some even worshiped snakes like the giant ones before Benjamin and Tracey by bringing it offerings of jewels. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to grab a jewel, shinny up the snake's body, and place it on its hood. For each jewel placed, he/she had to run back to the starting point and start again. They had to hold on very tight as the snakes would be squirting them. The player with the most jewels on the snake's hood in 60 seconds won. Benjamin won the game after placing three jewels on the snake's hood, awarding him a half pendant of life. Quadruple Crown (Bungee Ceiling)[]  When her brother died, Nzinga was crowned queen by the Ndongo people. Renee and Robbie's task was to crown themselves not once, but four times. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to grab a rope in each hand and pull themselves up to the crowns on the ceiling. Once at the top, they then each had to grab a crown, place it on their head, and float back down. The player to bring down all four crowns or the player to bring down the most crowns in 60 seconds won. Robbie won the game after getting three crowns, awarding him a half pendant of life. Portuguese Soldiers (Sack Swing)[]Queen Nzinga kept the Portuguese out of her country for over thirty years. The teams' task was to defeat the army before them just like how Nzinga defeated the Portuguese. One player was suspended in a sack, and when Kirk gave the signal, his/her partner had to swing them at a soldier statue. The team to knock down all three of their soldiers or the team with the most soldiers knocked down in 60 seconds won. The Red Jaguars knocked down their last soldier with nineteen seconds of spare time, awarding them a full pendant of life and sending them to Olmec's Temple with 1½ pendants.
Temple RunBenjamin went into the temple first, moving at a good pace. Choosing the The Crypt as his starting point, he was able to unlock the door that led down to The Ledges after pulling two of the books from the skeleton. Rather pulling on the third and final book to possibly unlock the door to The Troubled Bridge, Benjamin decided to climb down into The Ledges and continued through the lower level. Then, he used the lower crawl tube to enter The Rock Quarry where he was able complete the objective at a good pace. After lifting the stone slab, Benjamin unlocked the door leading to The Laser Light Room where he encountered the first temple guard after pulling two of the blocks off. After getting a bit startled by the temple guard, Benjamin continued with the objective, though he had a bit of tough luck as he had to pull almost every block to reveal the white light. But regardless, Benjamin still completed the objective with no problem and continued onwards into The Swamp. But just as he was halfway through, the second temple guard leaped out and captured him with 1:59 left on the clock.   Renee went next to the temple and ran at a similar pace to that of Benjamin. And while she could have saved a bit of time by skipping The Crypt and heading down directly to The Ledges. She did not hesitate at all and made good use of her time while getting to where Benjamin left off. While in The Swamp she passed up the other half of her pendant which was on one of the actuators that lead to The Dark Forest. Regardless, Renee still had a good amount time left to grab the crown and quickly entered The Dark Forest with 1:17 left on the clock. But unfortunately, this where she made a fatal mistake, after a slight confusion on what to do, Renee decided to search for the key inside the trees instead of busting through The Stone Wall. (However, it is debatable as to whether or not The Stone Wall was locked or could be busted down). But regardless, Renee was promptly caught by a Temple Spirit in the camera-right tree by The Swamp. And thus, ending the temple run with 1:07 left on the clock.
