The Trojan Horseshoe is the twelfth episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the tenth episode to complete production and the sixth to air. Moat CrossingOne player of each team swam a rope over to the other side. Once out of the water, he had to tie the rope off on a pole that held a second tied rope higher up; both connected to the other side. Once tied, the second player had to use the two ropes and maneuver across the moat. Once he was across, the team could run over and hit the gong.
Steps of KnowledgeLong ago, there was a huge fortress city with many towers, called Troy. It was destroyed because Paris, a prince of Troy, decided to marry the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen. Unfortunately, Helen was already married to a Greek king who became so enraged he mounted an army to attack Troy. The Greeks fought the Trojans for ten years, but could not defeat them. So, the smartest Greek said, "Let's build a giant horse and put some warriors inside, leave it outside the city with a card that says 'No hard feelings', and then we'll pretend to sail away. They'll drag the horse into the city and during the night, the warriors will slip out and open the city gates, and our forces can get in and wreck the place." Which is exactly what they did.
Temple GamesThe Silver Snakes are 12-year-old Bob and 14-year-old Jennifer. The Green Monkeys are 13-year-old Lucretia and 15-year-old Shawn. Tear Down Troy (Climbing Wall)It took the Greeks ten years to tear down the walls of Troy. The players had one minute. When Kirk said go, each player climber to the top of their walls, grabbed a brick and stuck them in their helmets. Next they climbed back down and dropped their bricks in their baskets. Then they climbed back up and grabbed another brick. The first player to get six bricks, or the player with the most bricks in their basket in 60 seconds won. The result was that Bob only scored twice, but Lucretia scored three times since she never knocked any off her helmet. That meant that the Green Monkeys won the first Pendant of Life. Trojan Horse (Water Ramp)Thinking that the Greeks had left a giant horse as a present, the Trojans brought it inside the gates of their city. It was quite a job as that game. Before the teams were hills leading up to the city of Troy and two Trojan horses. Each player sat with their backs to their horses. When Kirk said go, they pushed the horses up the hillsides and into the city and then slid back down. Of course, the water flowed, so it was going to be a little tricky. The first one to get their horse into the city and slid back down, or the furthest along in 60 seconds won. At the end, Kirk announced that the Silver Snakes managed to tie up the score at a half Pendant per team, so it was all up to the third game to decide the final outcome. Trojan Column (Pulley Pillar)After the Greeks destroyed Troy, the Trojans had to rebuild. It's not an easy thing to do when everything is made of big stone blocks. Before the teams were the remains of Trojan columns. When Kirk said go, each partner grabbed rings of the columns, jumped up, and placed them on the post. And then they jumped back down. Then their partners jumped up and placed the next rings on their column. They alternated like that for up to 60 seconds. The first team to completely rebuild the Trojan column, or the one furthest along when time was up, won. With four seconds left, Lucretia managed to place the last ring on the column for the Green Monkeys; Bob placed the last one for the Silver Snakes with two seconds on the clock, but since the Green Monkeys finished first, they won the full Pendant and would be taking 1½ Pendants of Life with them for the Temple Run.
Temple Run  The other half of Shawn's pendant was in the Room of the Golden Idols hanging on the actuator to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Lucretia went into the temple first, moving at a moderate pace. Starting off by heading into The Cave of Sighs, Lucretia used the lower door to enter into The Pit of Despair. Upon reaching The Wall Climb, Lucretia tried to open up the door leading to The Throne Room. When the door did not open, she instead opted to go to The Heart Room instead. While Lucretia did have a bit of a tough time getting up to The Heart Room, from using the ropes and getting the right grip on the wall climb, this did not greatly slow her down, and she was able to unlock the door leading to The Heart Room. But upon entering the room, Lucretia met the first Temple Guard in the Heart Room with 2:18 remaining. Completely unfazed, she continues her way into the temple and enters The Room of the Golden Idols after giving up her Pendant of Life. In the room, Lucretia at first was about to head down into The Spider's Lair, but she changed her mind and instead headed into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. But before she could do anything, Lucretia was caught by the second Temple Guard and was taken out of the temple with 1:55 left on the clock. Shawn went into the temple next, steadily retracing Lucretia's steps at a similar pace she moved at within the temple. And while Shawn missed the other half of his pendant in The Room of the Golden Idols, this luckily did not prove to be a major problem for them later on. Eventually, Shawn arrived at The Shrine of the Silver Monkey with 1:21 left, and he put the monkey together within a span of fourteen seconds. Now in The Pirate's Cove, Shawn proceeds to spin the wheel and then climbs down into The Dungeon and literally smashed through The Stone Wall.  Shawn grabbing the Horseshoe.   Shawn and Lucretia's path to the horseshoe.
