Similar to rooms that shared its room space (e.g.: The Swamp, the Holes of Python, the Bamboo Forest), the only objective was to navigate through the room and choose the door to the next path by pressing an actuator. The Spider's Lair contained webbing that made it difficult for the contestants to navigate. The contestants could climb on the webbing to gain access to the doors in the upper level, but it was a difficult task as the string was thin. In the short-lived CW reboot, the Spider's Lair makes a return in the new Temple Layout. This time, giant toy spiders were included along with toy webbing. Notes Billy from John Henry's Lost Hammer was the only contestant that tried climbing up to the upper level from the Spider's Lair. This is the only room in both the original and the reboot series without a Temple Guard encounter, although in The Trojan Horseshoe, the third Temple Guard's headdress was sticking out from the packing peanuts while Shawn Thompson exited the Temple with the horseshoe. This and the Crystal Cenote are the only rooms in the reboot series without any Temple Guards. They, along with the Royal Rage Room, are also the only rooms without any artifacts in the reboot series. Only the Silver Snakes went into the Temple with the artifacts in the Spider's Lair.
