Steps of Knowledge

One of the wiliest rulers of the Dark Ages was Clovis I, the founder of France. In the late 400s, he defeated the Romans and conquered the other Dreaminc tribes to create a french kingdom. But it was not easy. Once, his army was pushed back to the banks of a great river: the Rhine. Legend has it the German king sent a messenger.

"My master says you are trapped and cannot escape. He bids you surrender."

"I'd rather chew glass!"

But minutes later when arrows began to rain down on them, Clovis' general panicked.

"Sire, we're outnumbered, our backs are to the river, and these arrows are making my helmet a pin cushion. If we do not surrender, they'll cut us to ribbons!"

"No way! We'll cross the river."

"But sire, the water is deep. And in our armor we'll drown or rust!"

"Stop whining, you nay-saying ninny, and follow me!"

And with that, Clovis ran into the water and to everyone's astonishment, did NOT sink! The amazed Germans dropped their arms and ran.

"How did you do that, sire?"

"It's a sandbar. I knew the water was shallow by the lilies growing there."

Because the lilies saved him, Clovis changed his emblem from three toads to three lilies, and added them to his crown.

Temple Games

The Orange Iguanas are Katie, who sprints in triathalons and plays cello in an orchestra, and Judge, who enjoys basketball and rock 'n' roll. The Purple Parrots are Erica, who does cheerleading and enjoys softball, and Stephen, who enjoys baseball and dancing.

French Flags (Bungee Ceiling)[]

French Flags Temple Game

When Clovis placed the three lilies on his crest, he also added them to his flag— this was the official royal French emblem until the French Revolution, and following this, the government created the present flag as a symbol of democracy. On the ceiling above Katie and Stephen were eight French flags, and when Kirk gave the signal, they would jump up and unfurl one. Whoever got all eight unfurled within 60 seconds would win; Katie had the lead throughout the first half of the game, but Stephen managed to catch up by the end. Ultimately, they both unfurled five flags, awarding both teams a half pendant.

Toad Removal (Trampolines and Nets)[]

As a token of gratitude for saving his life at the Rhine, Clovis added the lilies to his crest; while inside Clovis's castle, Erica and Judge each had to remove all the toads and display the new crest at the top. When Kirk gave the signal, both would ascend the scaffold by launching through each net, proceeding to throw the toad below, and whoever displayed the new crest within 60 seconds would win. Judge accomplished this task with 12 seconds remaining, bringing the Orange Iguanas' score to one Pendant over the Purple Parrots' half pendant (Erica got stuck on the second level for the majority of the game).

Germanic Warriors (Bowling Slingshot)[]

Germanic Warriors Temple Game

Clovis founded France by conquering all the Germanic tribes across Europe; standing before each team were four warriors of that tribe, and when Kirk gave the signal, they would load their slingshot to shoot them down. Whoever shot all four down within 60 seconds would win; the competition was dead heat, climaxing in a tie of three warriors down, but the Orange Iguanas would ultimately take two pendants to Olmec's Temple over the Purple Parrots' 1½ pendants.

Temple Run

Katie decided to go into the temple first. Moving at a moderate pace, she started off by heading up into The Crypt, where she got lucky, as the first book that she pulled from the skeleton, unlocked the door to The Pit of the Pendulum. Immediately grabbing onto the rope swing, Katie swings down and knocks over the column and unlocks the door to The King's Storeroom. Katie tries at first to grab the ropes and pull herself back onto the platform, but after missing, she wasted no time to jump off the rope swing and climb back up to the platform instead. (To which she did very quickly). Now heading up into The King's Storeroom (and picking up the pace), Katie shoves two of the pots into the tray and finds the key within the second pot she smashed. But it was the pedestal that contained the only remaining pot was the one that allowed her to continue to another room. With that being, The Chamber of the Sacred Markers. But once Katie arrived in the room, she encountered the first temple guard from the left door which made her jump in the process. After giving up her pendant of life, Katie got to work on finding the missing markers.
Katie in the Chamber of the Sacred Markers
Unfortunately, the outcome of the temple run was declared because of this room. While Katie was able to find the first two markers with no problem, she had a difficult time finding the last one as it was so well hidden that it took her a large chunk of time before she was able to find it. But once she completed the objective, Katie then moves into The Room of the Ancient Warriors where after trying two of the armors (the middle one being the right one), she was able to unlock the door to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. But just as Katie grabbed the head and the middle piece from the shelves, the second temple guard comes out and captures her. Leading her to fall off the cabinets before being removed from the temple with 50 seconds left.


Now it was Judge's turn to try his luck. Moving at the same pace as Katie, Judge went through the rooms as first without issues. But after exiting The Pit of the Pendulum, Judge started to make some mistakes. When Judge was running up the steps to The King's Storeroom, he went back for a brief second as he wanted to check and see if the door to The Chamber of the Sacred Markers opened up from The Pit of the Pendulum. But he quickly changes his mind and continues forward but ends up taking a wrong turn while in The King's Storeroom as he tried to head into The Room of the Ancient Warriors from there. And even after that, Judge didn't know where the ladder shaft was as he continuously walked back and forth till Kirk pointed it out for him. And once again, when Judge entered The Room of the Ancient Warriors, he attempted to try one of the armors till Kirk told him again to continue forward. But with such little time left, Judge was unable to make much progress on the statue. And time ran out just as he was placing the base onto the pedestal.

The layout proved to be fairly easy and both players were shown to be good players and knew how to complete the objectives without many issues. But had bad luck not occurred for Katie within The Chamber of the Sacred Markers, Judge would have had a lot more time to go through the other rooms within the temple and had a higher opportunity to get the crown on time and a victory would have been possible.
