Moat CrossingOne team member has to walk across a bridge that is wobbly. If the player fell or used their hands, they had to start again. One across, the partner has to do the same thing. When both are on the other side, they have to run over and hit their gongs.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the bravest women in all of India was the Rani of Jhansi. In the mid 1800's, the British took over the kingdom of Jhansi and annexed it to India. The Rani or queen of Jhansi mustered an army of 14,000 men to drive the British out. They fought for a year but the British pushed her back to her fortress and layed siege to it. "Your highness, the British cannons are raining fire on the city. The general is worthless. There is no one to take his place." "I shall be there! Bring me my sword and pistols and the Pearl Necklace of Gwalior!" The necklace symbolized her right to reign and moments later, when she appeared on the parapet, her sword in hand, two pistols in her belt, and the Pearl Necklace at her throat, a roar went up from the ranks, and her men fought even harder. The British were awed by this beautiful woman shouting commands to the gunners. Over the dim of battle, a British bombardier shouted to his commander. "Sir, we have it in our sights. Should we fire?" "I cannot fire on a woman that brave." For days, the Rani held the city against the assault. Finally, she slipped from the city on horseback and the necklace disappeared. Years later, it was brought to the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Blue Barracudas are Dawn, who enjoys gymnastics and competed in track at the Junior Olympics, and Ryan, who plays basketball and surfs. The Green Monkeys are Ashleigh, who rides horses and sings in her school choir, and Joseph, who plays football and collects rocks. Burrow the City Tunnel (Trampoline Web)[]When the battle was lost, the Rani's horse awaited her at a secret tunnel formed by loose bricks; now Joseph and Ryan had to knock out some loose bricks of their own on the nets. When Kirk gave the signal, both boys would run forward and launch themselves onto the web to knock out a brick, then come back down and repeat the process. Whoever knocked out all nine bricks, or was further along within 60 seconds would win; Joseph and Ryan tied with 3 bricks each, and both teams received a half-Pendant. Escape Gwalior! (Bucking Horse)[]When the Rani of Jhansi knew the battle was lost, she slipped from the city on a spirited horse which was also wild; here, Ashleigh and Dawn's escape would be equally difficult. When Kirk gave the signal, the horse would gallop and whoever fell off granted their opponent a point; whoever scored the most points within 60 seconds would win. Ashleigh tried using the lay-down approach on the horse, only to get bucked off more than once; as a result, Dawn won 5-1, completing the Blue Barracudas' pendant. Regiment Attack (Slingshot Wall)[]The Rani of Jhansi had to fight off numerous regiments of the British Army when they annexed her kingdom; here, the teams had to destroy only four regiments. When Kirk gave the signal, the girls would load a cannonball in a slingshot, fire it at the boys, who would catch it and destroy the first regiment, proceeding to climb up to the next regiment and wait for the next cannonball. Whoever destroyed all four regiments, or was further along within 60 seconds would win; the competition was close, ultimately being a tie with three regiments destroyed for each team, but the Blue Barracudas would go to the Temple with 2 pendants over the Green Monkeys' 1½ pendants.
Temple RunRyan went into the temple first, moving at a fast pace. Starting up at The Crypt, he immediately unlocked the door to The Pit of the Pendulum after pulling only one of the books from the skeletons. Then in The Pit of the Pendulum, Ryan swiftly swung down and knocks over the column, which unlocked the door leading to The King's Storeroom. Moving fast on his feet, he quickly climbs up the outer wall and enters The King's Storeroom where Ryan swiftly smashes all the pots. He was able to find the key within the last pot he smashes and unlocks the door leading down to The Chamber of the Sacred Markers after trying it the second pedestal. After climbing down to The Chamber of the Sacred Markers, he was caught by the first Temple Guard and forks over his pendant. After that, Ryan quickly got work and placed the missing symbols onto the wall. And while Ryan had no trouble finding the markers, no door opened after placing them. After a slight confusion, Ryan pressed on the markers harder, which finally unlocked the door to The Room of the Ancient Warriors. In the room, he got pretty lucky as he unlocked the door leading to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey after only trying the middle armor. But sadly, Ryan's temple run came to an end in the shrine, as he was caught by the second temple guard just as he grabbed the base of the monkey. Thus, taking him out of the temple with 1:26 left on the clock. Now it was time for Dawn to go. While she moved at a moderate pace, she slightly hesitated in a few rooms. In The Pit of the Pendulum, she slowly moved on the foot bridges and while she was in The Chamber of the Sacred Markers, she almost tried to go down to The Tomb of the Headless Kings. But Dawn was finally able to get to the shrine with 48 seconds left and quickly tried to assemble the monkey. And while she had a bit of trouble getting the torso and head on, she eventually got the monkey assembled and rushes into The Room of the Secret Password with 20 seconds left. After another slight confusion on what to do, Dawn starts reading the secret passwords, but it was the second one: "Open Sesame" that opened the door to The Pharaoh's Secret Passage. Unfortunately, time expired just before she could grab the Pearl Necklace, with her grabbing it just as Kirk claimed they ran out of time.
