Main Page

The Swamp was a room in Olmec's Temple. The objective of this room is to wade through the packing peanuts representing murky swamp water to enter the Tomb of the Ancient Kings (Season 1), the Dark Forest (Season 2), the Throne Room (Seasons 1 & 2), the Room of Harmonic Convergence (Season 1), or the Laser Light Room (Season 2) or climb the hanging vine nets up to the Room of the Golden Idols (Season 1), the Treasure Room (Season 1), or the King's Storeroom (Season 2). Originally, the swamp was green (simply because that room space in Season 1 was always green), but then in Season 2, the swamp stayed the same but was recolored brown. A Temple Guard would hide under the packing peanuts and surprise the contestant.

Trivia

The room was often nicknamed "the Treacherous Swamp".
This is one of the few rooms in the Temple where none of the players were able to grab the artifacts placed in there. Another room is the Dark Forest, along with the Heart Room.
In Legends (the official Legends of the Hidden Temple crossover with The Loud House), one of the rooms in the temple run resembles the Swamp. Lincoln accidentally fell in it when the room above it (which resembles The Crypt) was collapsing.
