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 14-year-old Steve and 13-year-old Lisa. The Silver Snakes are 14-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 from the Silver Snakes rang in answering "Madrid". Unfortunately, it was not the correct answer, and therefore the Red Jaguars had automatically won and are heading to Olmec's Temple in search of the keys. The correct answer was Granada.
Temple Run   
While both members proved to be very fast runners and were able to complete the objectives in no time flat. Unfortunately, a single struggle in a room caused the chance of victory to disappear for these Red Jaguars. Though fans have pointed out that the door that led to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey from The Tomb of the Ancient Kings had opened up unexpectedly after Lisa entered the room. So, it is likely that the door was unlocked accidently in between when the guard took Steve out and before Lisa went in. (Meaning that a production error had possibly occurred off camera). This led fans to conclude that they had the right path this entire time. But due to no sound effect playing, this ended up leading Lisa to believe that the door was meant to stay lock and got confused on where to go next. And leading the rest of the run to end up in disaster.
