The Keys to the Alhambra is the tenth episode of the first season of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the eighth episode to have production completed and the twenty-second to air. Moat CrossingOne player of each team swam a rope over to the other side. Once out of the water, he had to tie the rope off on a pole that held a second tied rope higher up; both connected to the other side. Once tied, the second player had to use the two ropes and maneuver across the moat. Once he was across, the team could run over and hit the gong.
Steps of KnowledgeLong ago, there lived a young and grasping Spanish Queen named Isabella. She and her husband controlled all of Spain, except for a small part in the South, which was controlled by the Moors. Boabdil, the King of the Moors, was very wealthy, and he lived in a beautiful palace called the Alhambra. Isabella wanted the jewels and money that she thought were hidden there. She fought with Boabdil for ten years, and finally, he surrendered, and gave Isabella the keys to the palace. According to legend, the Alhambra palace was built by a magician, and if someone pure of heart unlocked it, the spell would be broken and the palace would crumble, revealing the treasure of the Moors. Isabella ran through the palace, unlocking every door, but she could not find Boabdil's legendary hidden treasure. She threw down the keys in disgust, and they were lost--until now.
Temple GamesThe Red Jaguars are fourteen-year-old Steve and thirteen-year-old Lisa. The Silver Snakes are fourteen-year-olds Rodney and Lesley. Decorate Alhambra (Climbing Wall)[]The Alhambra Palace was famous for its beautiful tile decoration. When Kirk gave the signal, Lisa and Lesley each had to grab a tile from their baskets, stick it to their shirts, climb up, and place it on the green velcro pad at the top of the wall. The player with all four tiles in their correct positions or the player with the most correctly placed tiles in 60 seconds won. Lesley was consistently ahead of Lisa and she was able to place all four tiles and make it down on the ground just before time expired, earning her the half pendant of life. Keys in the Locks (Bungee Soap Ramp)[]According to legend, when Isabella ran through the Alhambra, she tried the keys on all the doors. Here, Steve and Rodney had to try three keys in one door. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to grab a key, attach it to his helmet, pull himself up the ramp, and insert the key into one of the three locks. The player to insert all three keys in 60 seconds won. Although both boys started out evenly, Steve fell behind after struggling to hang on to and eventually losing his grip, twice, on the hand grip straps at the top of the ramp slowing his progress, as he was on his way up the ramp to insert his second key, which he also had problems doing . Rodney inserted his third key with 14 seconds remaining, earning him the half pendant of life. Boabdil vs. Isabella (Velcro Ball Toss)[]Boabdil was a great warrior, but he met his match in Isabella. Here, the male players would represent Boabdil, while the female players would represent Isabella. The male players had to stand on the platforms while their partners had to throw colored plastic velcro balls at them. The male players had to catch the balls on their dark blue velcro shirts. The player with the most balls on her partner's shirt in 60 seconds won. The Red Jaguars won the game and the full pendant after landing fourteen balls while the Silver Snakes only landed twelve balls. Tiebreaker[]Kirk: "Is the Alhambra in the city of: Madrid, London, or Granada?" Rodney got the tiebreaker question incorrect (answering "Madrid"), sending the Red Jaguars to Olmec's Temple in search of the keys. The correct answer was Granada.
Temple RunSteve went into the temple first, moving at an extremely fast pace. Starting off by heading into The Cave of Sighs, Steve uses the lower crawl tube to enter The Pit of Despair, and deciding that taking the direct route is the best option, Steve continues his way through the bottom floor. Heading into The Throne Room, Steve encounters the first Temple Guard upon sitting on the throne. After giving up his pendant of life, Steve makes his way across the Spider's Lair still at a very fast pace. Once across, he opens The Tomb of the Ancient Kings and attempted to quickly bust through The Stone Wall. But unfortunately, the wall remained blocked and as he was making another attempt to bust it down, Steve is caught by the second Temple Guard and was taken out of the temple with 2:27 left on the clock.
