Moat Crossing  The teams had to use the ruins of an "ancient swinging bridge". Each team had one player get on first then the other and so on until they crosses the moat.
Steps of the KnowledgeOne of the bravest and most valiant knights of King Arthur's legendary Round Table was Sir Gawain. Though the youngest and not the smartest of the Knights, Gawain had one advantage -- his magical silver helmet, which even Merlin the magician desired because its powers were even greater than his own. Legend has it that one afternoon, King Arthur's wife, Guinevere, approached Gawain in the Royal Garden at Camelot. "Sir Knight, someone has stolen the stained glass window from the Royal Chamber." "Look, Guin, I'm a Knight. I don't do windows." But Guinevere persisted, and at last Gawain agreed to search for the stolen panes. Scouring the palace, he came across a scullery maid crying in the vestibule. "Prithee, young maiden, what's up?" "I've broken Her Majesty's window, and I will surely be thrown in the dungeon." "Nonsense. At worst, you'll be thrown in the moat." Moved by her tears, Gawain pleaded with Merlin, who waved his magic wand and restored Guinevere's window for a price. The price was Sir Gawain's magical helmet, which later found its way to the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are Donna, whose favorite subject is history and wants to be an actress, and Josh, who enjoys soccer and wants to be a doctor. The Orange Iguanas are Tiffani, who likes riding horses and wants to be a singer, and Jahmel, whose favorite subject is science, likes watching TV and wants to be a professional basketball player. Stained Glass Window Repair (Trampoline/Net Maze)[]In our legend, Sir Gawain searched all the floors of the palace for the broken stained glass window. Before Tiffani and Donna stood the palace of King Arthur with two stained glass windows at the top (one of which, is broken). When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to jump up and climb through to the next floor of the palace. Once at the other side, she had to do it again. When either player reached the top, she had to replace the broken window with the new one and climb back down. The player to replace the window and make it back to the starting point in 60 seconds won. Donna made it back to her starting point with 24 seconds remaining, awarding her a half Pendant of Life. Dodge-Mace (Swinging Foam Boulders)[]  As the best warriors in the realm, the Knights of the Round Table had to remain in tip-top shape, so they jousted or sparred with giant swinging maces like the ones Jahmel and Josh saw before them. Below each foam mace were four shields. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to run out, grab the first shield, and bring it back and drop it in his bin without being hit by the mace. Then, they had to run out to grab the next shield. The player with all four shields in his bin or the player with the most shields in his bin in 60 seconds won. Jahmel dropped his fourth shield in his bin with four seconds remaining, awarding him a half Pendant of Life. Josh had all four of his shields in his bin, but the fourth one did not count. Teams of the Round Table (Tilt Swing)[]Sir Gawain was one of the knights of King Arthur's famous round table where the knights met and ate. Someone had to set and clear that table. Olmec: "And today that someone is you!" When Kirk gave the signal, one player on each team had to run around, jump up, and grab a golden chalice and drop it into his/her team's bin. At the same time, his/her partner would be doing the same. The team that collects all their chalices or the team with the most chalices in their bin in 60 seconds won. The Orange Iguanas had eight chalices in their bin, awarding them a full Pendant of Life, sending them to Olmec's Temple with 1½ Pendants of Life. The Purple Parrots had three chalices in their bin.
Temple RunTiffani went into the temple first, moving at a moderate pace. Choosing to head up into The Crypt first, Tiffani got lucky as the first book she pulled allowed her to enter The Pit of the Pendulum. In there, she took a bit of time to align herself in the right position on the rope swing, and once she did, Tiffani swiftly knocks the column over and unlocks the door to The Chamber of the Sacred Markers. If it wasn't good enough, Tiffani got lucky again as she was able to grab the ropes and successfully pull herself back to the platforms without falling off. Now making her way into The Chamber of the Sacred Markers, Tiffani got to work on putting on the missing markers. While she moved at the same pace as she has at the start of the run, Tiffani knew what to do to get the job done. And with 2:03 left, Tiffani completes the room's objective and moves on to The Room of the Ancient Warriors.  Tiffani placing a marker on the wall. The other half of Jahmel's pendant can be seen hanging on a small hook on the left side of the door.
