We see a man in jeans and a blue shirt standing in front of a giant stone head, facing it.

“Olmec,” says the man, “are you sure that the Rapids are safe to cross for today?”

“Oh, don’t be a worrywart, Kirk,” replies Olmec. “Anyway, it was your job to make sure that the bridges were stable enough to cross.”

“Oh, right.” Kirk runs off-camera. “It seems safe enough to me,” calls Kirk from a distance away. “I don’t think they should be much trou—AHHH!” A splash is heard, and then a tired call from Kirk. “Found a problem…”

Olmec shouts: “Welcome to LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE: WILD JUNGLE!”

The theme music suddenly begins to play. There is a flash of green lightning, two halves of a Pendant of Life crash together to form the show’s logo, and underneath it the words “Wild Jungle” appear as the Pendant pushes back to allow the rest of the title to appear over it. The background quickly cross-fades to lush greenery as cascading water is heard. The camera then moves towards the right to reveal a channel of bubbling, steamy water, and what appears to be a tropical jungle.

“With your guide, Kirk Fogg!” Olmec then yells. “And here he is now!”

A bamboo gate opens below the audience sections, and Kirk runs out to greet the crowd, crossing a bridge to the other side of the rapidly-moving water. “Thank you very much!” he shouts. “Nice to see you—nice to see you too, Olmec. Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his Temple. Which one are we gonna hear about today?”

The lights under Olmec switch on as he replies:
“The Legend of the Golden Crown of Archimedes.”

“Ah, the Golden Crown of Archimedes,” repeats Kirk. “Well, the legend is set, and one of these six teams will have a chance to retrieve the Golden Crown—”

The camera segues back to the doorway that Kirk emerged from moments ago, and the teams come out of it one-by-one as Kirk introduces them.

“Will it be the Red Jaguars?
“The Blue Barracudas?
“The Green Monkeys?
“The Orange Iguanas?
“The Purple Parrots?
“Or the Silver Snakes?”

“They’re gonna have to pass some tough physical and mental tests,” says Kirk, “and in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec’s Temple. But first, they have to cross the Rapids, and Olmec will tell us how they’ll have to do it today.” The camera zooms in on Olmec’s face as a small animated representation of the game appears in the corner of the screen.

Olmec instructs:
“Before you, an unstable bridge stretches across the Rapids, and along the sides, two old vines. When Kirk gives the signal, the first player will step onto the bridge and make their way across. If you fall into the water, you must return to the riverbank and begin again. Both partners must cross the Rapids the same way, and when both partners are safely on the other side, hit your gong to finish!” The camera rapidly zooms out all the way to the Red Jaguars’ gong, which Kirk slams down on to demonstrate.

“The first four teams to hit their gongs will advance to the next round,” finishes Olmec.

“Teams!” calls Kirk, who is standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “Are you ready?”

The teams all shout and cheer in response.

“Olmec, are you ready?” Kirk then asks.

“Let’s rock!” replies Olmec.

“All right,” says Kirk in response. “On your marks, get set… GO!”

The boys on all six teams are first to cross the Rapids, each one racing out onto the bridges and ignoring the vines. “Oh, there they go across the Moat—Rapids!” Kirk says, quickly correcting himself. The Red Jaguar and Green Monkey boys are the two fastest players, simply sprinting all the way across the Rapids, while the Blue Barracudas, Purple Parrots, and Silver Snakes cross slightly more slowly, taking more care. “Orange Iguanas are in the water,” announces Kirk as the boy on the Orange Iguanas loses his footing and tips over into the water. “That gives a chance for our other teams…” At barely 10 seconds into the round, the boys on the Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, and Green Monkeys are already on the opposite riverbank and sending their partners over, and just moments later the Purple Parrots and Silver Snakes join them. “We might be having our first team soon!” shouts Kirk as the girls on the teams begin running towards their partners and the Orange Iguana boy finally steps off onto the deck. A wide shot shows all six girls at different points across the Rapids, but with the Purple Parrot girl being the fastest and darting right across the water. “We have one—two—three teams!” Kirk says as the Purple Parrots, Green Monkeys, and Blue Barracudas all gong in one after another just seconds apart. “We’re looking for one more team—” The Red Jaguar and Silver Snakes girls both reach the deck at around the same time, but it is the Silver Snakes who are able to slam down on their gong first and lock in as the fourth team at 18 seconds in. “… and we’ve got ‘em! Stop right there!” Kirk yells.

The camera segues back to Kirk standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “All right, nice job there…,” he says. “Going on to the Steps of Knowledge are the Blue Barracudas—” A shot of each qualifying team is shown as Kirk announces their name “—and the Green Monkeys—and the Purple Parrots—and the Silver Snakes.

“The Orange Iguanas and the Red Jaguars gave it a great effort,” he then says. “They’re not going away empty-handed. We’ve got a great gift for ‘em and Olmec’s gonna tell us what it is.”

We see a close-up of Olmec’s face, and as he speaks, the prize plug covers the screen:
“You will now be able to tell time by splitting open a Pendant of Life on your new Legends of the Hidden Temple WATCH! A custom-made digital sports watch design from Casio.”

“Hey, Kirk, guess what?” says a giant talking stone head.

“Yeah, Olmec, what’s up?” replies Kirk, walking toward Olmec.

“I talked to the producers and they managed to get Scorpions to come onto the show,” Olmec says.

“The Scorpions?” Kirk says, raising his eyebrows. “I love their songs, where are they?”

“They’re practicing by the Rapids,” Olmec says.

Kirk walks out of the shot muttering to himself. “I can’t see them from here… AHHHH! THESE ARE REAL SCORPIONS! OLMEC!”

“WELCOME TO LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE: WILD JUNGLE!”

The theme music suddenly begins to play. There is a flash of green lightning, two halves of a Pendant of Life crash together to form the show’s logo, and underneath it the words “Wild Jungle” appear as the Pendant pushes back to allow the rest of the title to appear over it. The background quickly cross-fades to lush greenery as cascading water is heard. The camera then moves towards the right to reveal a channel of bubbling, steamy water, and what appears to be a tropical jungle.

“With your guide, Kirk Fogg!” Olmec then yells. “And here he is now!”

A bamboo gate opens below the audience sections, and Kirk runs out to greet the crowd, crossing a bridge to the other side of the rapidly-moving water. “Thank you very much!” he shouts. “Nice to see you—nice to see you too, Olmec. Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his Temple. Which one are we gonna hear about today?”

The lights under Olmec switch on as he replies:
“The Legend of the Jolly Roger of Ned Lowe.”

“Ah, the Jolly Roger of Ned Lowe,” repeats Kirk. “Well, the legend is set, and one of these six teams will have a chance to retrieve that Jolly Roger—”

The camera segues back to the doorway that Kirk emerged from moments ago, and the teams come out of it one-by-one as Kirk introduces them.

“Will it be the Red Jaguars?
“The Blue Barracudas?
“The Green Monkeys?
“The Orange Iguanas?
“The Purple Parrots?
“Or the Silver Snakes?”

“They’re gonna have to pass some tough physical and mental tests,” says Kirk, “and in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec’s Temple. But first, they have to cross the Rapids, and Olmec will tell us how they’ll have to do it today.” The camera zooms in on Olmec’s face as a small animated representation of the game appears in the corner of the screen.

Olmec instructs:
“Before you, an unstable bridge stretches across the Rapids, and beside it, two old vines. When Kirk gives the signal, the first player will step onto the bridge and make their way across while holding on to the vines. If you fall into the water, you must return to the riverbank and begin again. Both partners must cross the Rapids the same way, and when both partners are safely on the other side, hit your gong to finish!” The camera rapidly zooms out all the way to the Red Jaguars’ gong, which Kirk slams down on to demonstrate.

“The first four teams to hit their gongs will advance to the next round,” finishes Olmec.

“Teams!” calls Kirk, who is standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “Are you ready?”

The teams all shout and cheer in response.

“Olmec, are you ready?” Kirk then asks.

“Rock Me Like a Hurricane, Kirk!” replies Olmec.

“Haha, all right,” laughs Kirk in response. “Teams! On your marks, get set… GO!”

The boys on all the six teams immediately tread forward, some startled by the unstableness of the bridge at first. “There they go, across the Rapids,” shouts Kirk. “Green Monkeys doing good! So are the Silver Snakes—here they come!” The boy on the Silver Snakes tears across his bridge, barely making contact with the vines beside him, while the boys on the Orange Iguanas and Red Jaguars move across more carefully, walking across the bridge instead. “Blue Barracudas fell in,” narrates Kirk as the camera zooms in on the Blue Barracuda boy falling into the water, then back to the riverbank, where the boys on the Purple Parrots, Green Monkeys, and Silver Snakes are already standing. “We’ve got four—five players!” announces Kirk as the boys on the Red Jaguars and Orange Iguanas join them. “Now for their partners to come across. It’s tough, they gotta keep their balance…” The girl on the Green Monkeys falls into the water, and so does the girl on the Purple Parrots, who loses her balance about halfway across the bridge. “That leaves an opening for the Red Jaguars!” shouts Kirk. The Orange Iguana and Silver Snake girls both scramble toward the finish, both disregarding the vines and simply running across the bridge onto the deck.

“Here they come!” Kirk narrates. “We’ve got one—two—” Two gongs ring almost simultaneously as the Orange Iguanas and Silver Snakes both gong in. “We’ve got room for two more teams! Here come the Blue Barracudas…” The girl on the Green Monkeys lets go of the vines to the sides and instead tries to make a dash for it, but ends up slipping and falling into the water again. “OH!” groans Kirk. “Green Monkeys’re down again, gives a chance for the Blue Barracudas—here they come!” The girl on the Blue Barracudas cautiously makes her way closer to the riverbank, but is overtaken by a frantic Purple Parrot girl who races onto the deck and slams down on her gong. “Purple Parrots are in!” shouts Kirk, but is interrupted by the sound of a fourth gong, coming from the Blue Barracudas at a little over 30 seconds into the round. “And the Blue Barracudas! We’ve got our four teams!”

The camera segues back to Kirk standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “All right, nice job,” he says. “Going on to the Steps of Knowledge are the Blue Barracudas—” A shot of each qualifying team is shown as Kirk announces their name “—and the Orange Iguanas—and the Purple Parrots—and the Silver Snakes.

“The Red Jaguars and the Green Monkeys came up short,” he then says. “They gave it a great effort, though. They’re not going away empty-handed. We’ve got a great gift for ‘em and here’s what it is… Olmec?”

We see a close-up of Olmec’s face, and as he speaks, the prize plug covers the screen:
“You will now be able to tell time by splitting open a Pendant of Life on your new Legends of the Hidden Temple WATCH! A custom-made digital sports watch design from Casio.”

The screen fades in to reveal an oversized coffee cup sitting on a ledge in front of a large stone head. The camera zooms out further to reveal a man in a light blue shirt also drinking coffee, but from a much smaller cup.

“Hey, Olmec,” the man says to the head. “This coffee tastes great! What’s it made from?”

“It’s a secret ingredient, Kirk,” Olmec replies mysteriously.

“C’mon, we’re all friends here,” pries Kirk. “Tell me what it is.”

“It’s made right here on LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE: WILD JUNGLE!” shouts Olmec.

“Well, what is it?” Kirk then asks.

“Beetle juice.”

“PFFFF!” chokes Kirk, spitting out his drink.

The theme music suddenly begins to play. There is a flash of green lightning, two halves of a Pendant of Life crash together to form the show’s logo, and underneath it the words “Wild Jungle” appear as the Pendant pushes back to allow the rest of the title to appear over it. The background quickly cross-fades to lush greenery as cascading water is heard. The camera then moves towards the right to reveal a channel of bubbling, steamy water, and what appears to be a tropical jungle.

“With your guide, Kirk Fogg!” Olmec then yells. “And here he is now!”

A bamboo gate opens below the audience sections, and Kirk runs out to greet the crowd, crossing a bridge to the other side of the rapidly-moving water. “Thank you very much!” he shouts. “Nice to see you—nice to see you too, Olmec. Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his Temple. Which one are we gonna hear about today?”

The lights under Olmec switch on as he replies:
“The Legend of the Attack Plan of Murayama T?an.”

“Whoa, the Attack Plan of Murayama T?an,” repeats Kirk. “Well, the legend is set, and one of these six teams will have a chance to retrieve the Attack Plan—”

The camera segues back to the doorway that Kirk emerged from moments ago, and the teams come out of it one-by-one as Kirk introduces them.

“Will it be the Red Jaguars?
“The Blue Barracudas?
“The Green Monkeys?
“The Orange Iguanas?
“The Purple Parrots?
“Or the Silver Snakes?”

“They’re gonna have to pass some tough physical and mental tests,” says Kirk, “and in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec’s Temple. But first, they have to cross the Rapids, and Olmec will tell us how they’ll have to do it today.” The camera zooms in on Olmec’s face as a small animated representation of the game appears in the corner of the screen.

Olmec instructs:
“Before you, a tightrope stretches across the Rapids, and above it, a path of five vines. When Kirk gives the signal, the first player will step on to the tightrope and hold on to the first vine. Then, make your way over to the next vine and continue your way down to the other side. If you fall into the water, you must return to the riverbank and begin again. Both partners must cross the Rapids in this same way, and when both partners are safely on the other side, hit your gong to finish!” The camera rapidly zooms out all the way to the Red Jaguars’ gong, which Kirk slams down on to demonstrate.

“The first four teams to hit their gongs will advance to the next round,” finishes Olmec.

“All right, teams!” calls Kirk, who is standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “Are y’all ready?!”

The teams all shout and cheer in response.

“Olmec, are you ready?” Kirk then asks.

“Hai!” replies Olmec.

“On your marks,” Kirk begins, “get set… GO!”

 With that word, the first players on each team begin to cross the Rapids, each grabbing their vines. “All right, now let’s see if they can get that balance right…” says Kirk, as the boy on the Blue Barracudas appears to be having trouble, swinging forward and backward while trying to steady himself. “The Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots are blazing,” commentates Kirk, as the camera zooms in on the Orange Iguana boy and the Purple Parrot girl, who are already grabbing hold of their third vines. “—but the Silver Snakes aren’t giving up!” Kirk finishes, as the camera than segues to the boy on the Silver Snakes hanging on to his second vine for dear life. A wide shot reveals that Orange and Purple are on their fourth vines, Green is in between the third and fourth, and that Red, Blue, and Silver are all on their third.

After roughly 32 seconds, the first players to reach the riverbank are the male Orange Iguana and the female Purple Parrot. “All right, now for their partners’ turn,” Kirk narrates. The camera pans over to the Red and Blue gongs, where the Red Jaguar boy stretches his fifth vine, not letting go until he is safely on the riverbank. “Nice job by the Red Jaguars!” comments Kirk, as the camera segues back to him standing on the Rapids’ bridge. The girl on the Orange Iguanas takes a lead, transitioning from one vine to another with ease, while the girl on the Silver Snakes struggles simply to move on to her second vine. “Looks like we may have our first team soon,” says Kirk. “It’s—” Kirk pauses momentarily as the Orange Iguana girl reaches the riverbank, stumbling momentarily, but running over to her gong and hitting it nearly 50 seconds into the round. “—the Orange Iguanas!” finishes Kirk, shouting over the ring of the gong.

“Who’s gonna be our second team?” Kirk asks rhetorically, the camera showing Kirk through a view of the Blue Barracudas’ and Red Jaguars’ paths of vines, where the Red Jaguar girl is grabbing hold of her third vine and the Blue Barracuda girl to her second. “I think we’ve got our next team…” The camera pans back to the Purple Parrot girl bringing her first foot onto the deck, letting go of her fifth vine, and finally stepping safely onto dry land. “… and it’s the Purple Parrots!” The Purple Parrots slam down on their gong together, followed closely after by the Red Jaguars’ gong going off. “And the Red Jaguars!” Kirk shouts. “Now we just need one more team…” The girl on the Green Monkeys falls in, allowing the Blue Barracudas to catch up, but not before the Silver Snakes girl overtakes her unexpectedly, powering her way past her fifth vine and onto the riverbank. “All right, just gotta hit the gong… and she’s done it!” Kirk declares as the Silver Snakes gong in together. “We’ve got our four teams! Stop right there…”

The camera segues back to Kirk standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “All right, nice job, teams!” he says. “Going on to the Steps of Knowledge are the Red Jaguars—” A shot of each qualifying team is shown as Kirk announces their name “—and the Orange Iguanas—and the Purple Parrots—and the Silver Snakes.

“Red Jaguars, Green Monkeys… you guys came up a little short, but you gave it a great effort,” he then says. “Olmec, what do you have for these guys?”

We see a close-up of Olmec’s face, and as he speaks, the prize plug covers the screen:
“You will now be able to tell time by splitting open a Pendant of Life on your new Legends of the Hidden Temple WATCH! A custom-made digital sports watch design from Casio.”

A man in a blue shirt and blue jeans walks up to a giant stone head sitting upon a rock ledge. Below the head, rags and all sorts of other trash lie in thick plant growth.

“Olmec,” the man calls, “when are you going to clean up this mess?”

“It’s MY Temple, Kirk,” booms Olmec. “That means those plants are MINE, and I can do whatever I want with them, whether you like it or not.”

Kirk sighs, and then looks away. “It’s like a jungle of its own… personal space, my foot…” mutters Kirk, walking away from Olmec.

“Yes, it is a jungle!” shouts Olmec. “LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE: WILD JUNGLE!”

The theme music suddenly begins to play. There is a flash of green lightning, two halves of a Pendant of Life crash together to form the show’s logo, and underneath it the words “Wild Jungle” appear as the Pendant pushes back to allow the rest of the title to appear over it. The background quickly cross-fades to lush greenery as cascading water is heard. The camera then moves towards the right to reveal a channel of bubbling, steamy water, and what appears to be a tropical jungle.

“With your guide, Kirk Fogg!” Olmec then yells. “And here he is now!”

A bamboo gate opens below the audience sections, and Kirk runs out to greet the crowd, crossing a bridge to the other side of the rapidly-moving water. “Thank you very much!” he shouts. “Nice to see you—nice to see you too, Olmec. Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his Temple. Which one are we gonna hear about today?”

The lights under Olmec switch on as he replies:
“The Legend of Thoth and the Eye of Horus.”

“Ooh, Thoth and the Eye of Horus,” repeats Kirk. “Well, the legend is set, and one of these six teams will have a chance to retrieve the Eye of Horus—”

The camera segues back to the doorway that Kirk emerged from moments ago, and the teams come out of it one-by-one as Kirk introduces them.

“Will it be the Red Jaguars?
“The Blue Barracudas?
“The Green Monkeys?
“The Orange Iguanas?
“The Purple Parrots?
“Or the Silver Snakes?”

“They’re gonna have to pass some tough physical and mental tests,” says Kirk, “and in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec’s Temple. But first, they have to cross the Rapids, and Olmec will tell us how they’ll have to do it today.” The camera zooms in on Olmec’s face as a small animated representation of the game appears in the corner of the screen.

“The first four teams to hit their gongs will advance to the next round,” finishes Olmec.

“Teams!” calls Kirk, who is standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “Are you ready?”

The teams all shout and cheer in response.

“Olmec, are you ready?” Kirk then asks.

“This rock is ready to roll!” replies Olmec.

“On your marks,” begins Kirk, “get set… GO!”

The crowd begins to cheer as the players begin their journey out onto the Rapids, most of the players reaching for their first vine before they step onto the tightrope, but with the boy and girl on the Blue Barracudas and Orange Iguanas, respectively, try the opposite—the latter falling into the water fairly quickly. “Ooh, bad start for the Orange Iguanas!” commentates Kirk. “The Purple Parrots and the Green Monkeys look like they’re doing good, though, and so are the Red Jaguars…” The boy on the Red Jaguars makes smooth transitions from vine to vine, stretching them sideways as far as they can before switching hands swiftly. “I like the way he’s moving,” comments Kirk, as the camera segues back to the end of the Rapids, showing the boys on the Purple Parrots and Silver Snakes about to grab their fourth vines, the Purple boy just barely ahead of the Silver boy.  “That Red Jaguar is off,” narrates Kirk, as the Red Jaguar boy steps off onto the deck and his partner begins to cross. “Purple Parrots’re right behind them, though.” The boy on the Purple Parrots then steps off, followed by the Silver Snake boy and the Green Monkey girl quickly afterward.

“Oh, Red Jaguars, hanging on by just a little…” exclaims Kirk, as the camera focuses on the Red Jaguar girl splashing her feet around in the water, clutching the third rope, but eventually falling in and she swims back reluctantly. “That gives a chance for the Silver Snakes—she’s got the rhythm down now.” Indeed, the girl on the Silver Snakes seems to have little trouble moving from vine-to-vine across the tightrope, grabbing onto her fourth and fifth vines one barely after the other, and stepping onto the deck. “And we’ve got our first team!” shouts Kirk as the Silver Snakes slam down on their gong. “Who’s gonna be our next team?” The camera segues back to the Red Jaguar girl giving the Rapids a second shot, and then zooming in on the girl on the Blue Barracudas struggling to hold onto the second vine, but recovering after a few moments and moving on. “We’ve got two teams!” Kirk then announces as the girl on the Purple Parrots runs over and hits the gong. “Three teams! We just need one more now!” he yells as the boy on the Green Monkeys steps off onto the deck and hits his gong before high-fiving his partner.

“It’s gonna be a close race between the Red and the Blue…” commentates Kirk, as the camera zooms in on the girls on the Red Jaguars and Blue Barracudas both struggling to grab onto their fifth vines, the Blue Barracuda girl having more trouble—both of her feet are hanging down into the rushing water—and the Red Jaguar girl pulls herself up onto the deck. “And it’s the Red Jaguars!” shouts Kirk as the girl on the Red Jaguars tiredly runs over to slam down on the gong. “We’ve got our four teams!”

The camera segues back to Kirk standing on the wooden bridge at the front end of the Rapids. “Nice job!” he says. “Going on to the Steps of Knowledge are the Red Jaguars—” A shot of each qualifying team is shown as Kirk announces their name “—and the Green Monkeys—and the Purple Parrots—and the Silver Snakes.

“The Orange Iguanas and the Blue Barracudas gave it a great effort,” he then says. “They’re not going away empty-handed. We’ve got a great gift for them, and Olmec will tell us what it is. Olmec?”

You are currently looking at the Legends: Wild Jungle Layouts and Trivia Guide | Official Thread and Episode Guide

With a wilder set, wilder temple rooms are needed to complement Legends' new home in the brand new wild and woolly jungle. This is your official guide to the new, nature-filled temple layouts of the show and how to get through each.

In the first season of the show, animals of all kinds dominate the various rooms of the Wild Jungle temple, which all have objectives to be completed to proceed into the next room. Oh, what's that? Oh - don't step on the lion's paw on the way out of his lair - it might wake him up from his afternoon nap.

Season One
Layout One
The Room of the Three Gargoyles— Exactly like its appearance during Season One of the original show.
The Pit of Despair— The same room from early Season Two of the original show.
The Mouth of the Jaguar— Four fangs are placed on a pedestal in the back of the room. The players must place them into the mouth of the jaguar’s head placed in the center of the room.
The Lion's Lair— This room features the wallpaper of the Heart Room with the deep red replaced with yellow. In this room, players must detach two stone lion heads placed on the side walls and place each on its respective lion at the front of the room to open the doors.
The Vine Drop (1)— Three vines hang directly down from the ceiling of the room, each placed over the doorways downward. Players have the options of pulling down on the vines to open the downward doors or hit the actuators to open the doors leading to the adjacent rooms.
The Shrine of the Silver Monkey
The Viper's Nest— The same room from early Season Two of the original show.
The Lion Cage— The room is painted white but is extremely dim. Players can either take the cage up to the Viper’s Nest, climb the ladder to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or plow through the stone wall to the Sacred Safari.
The Sacred Safari— Players can either search for a magnetic key hidden in the trunk of one of the two elephants in the room to open the doors, or plow through the stone wall to the Lion Cage.
The Tropical Forest— This room’s appearance is similar to that of the Swamp in Season One of the original show, but in place of any netting are vines and tropical plants to make maneuvers more difficult.
The Chameleon Chamber— Six unlit chameleon paintings are on the walls of the room and, beside each, a small actuator. Players may hit an actuator to light up its respective chameleon. The doors open after the chameleon that matches the color of the player’s team is lit up.
The Mining Chamber— Think “Season Three Ledges”, but even darker. The room resembles an old abandoned mine, painted mostly a dark gray with piles of gold scattered deep within the room.

There is a small model of a fire placed on the front pedestal, split into four movable pieces. The players must take four puzzle pieces from the back of the room that form the picture of a puddle when placed properly. Placing all four puzzle pieces correctly will push down the entire fire model and open the door to the Shrine. On the other hand, to enter the Wild Whirlpool, contestants simply tug an oversized burnt palm leaf to open the downward door.
The Wild Whirlpool— A pool of foamy water (blue, white, and gray plastic balls). Players must either climb the slide up to the Forest Fire Room, climb the ladder to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or plow through the wall into the Sacred Safari.

The Shrine of the Silver Monkey
The Catfish Cove— If players enter from the Falls, players must unhook a fish from the outer walls of the room and place it on the correct of the three pedestals at the front of the room. If players wish to access the Falls, they would simply need to hit an actuator to open the door.

The Secret Spring— All that has changed from the Wild Whirlpool is that the plastic balls in the room have been changed to darker blue and green.
The Sacred Safari— The lighting in this room has been dimmed considerably.
The Tropical Forest— The green lights in this room have been dimmed to create a “scarier” atmosphere.
The Chameleon Chamber
The Mining Chamber— The front entrance of the room accessible only in Season One has been blocked off with a pile of gold. Players may now enter the room via a slide behind Olmec.

The Tropical Forest
The Treasury of the Monkeys— Three bunches of fruit (either bananas or grapes) are hung off the rungs of the ladder upward. To open the doors, a contestant must place the correct bunch on the altar in the front of the room. Once they do so, the altar glows green and a monkey’s scream is heard.

The Grand Marsh— The green lights have been moved out of this room area again. This room resembles the Swamp from Season Two of the original show but with two large alligators in the back of the room. The correct alligator has a large tongue that will unroll when its mouth is open. Pulling the tongue opens a door.

The Wildebeest's Hideout
The Anaconda's Sanctuary
The Elephant's Cave— The players must open up three boxes at the front of the room in search of the large peanut. Then they have to take it and place it one of three elephant's (blue, purple, and pink) mouths and close it. If it is the right elephant, the mouth will stay shut and the doors will open. If it's not, then the mouth will release again. When the doors do open, a loud roar of delight from an elephant can be heard.
The Shrine of the Silver Monkey
The Catfish Cove— On top of the addition of large wooden buckets placed on the front pedestals, players must now complete the room’s objective heading either way.

NOTE: This is an episode of a completely fan-made game show called Clockwork. Any comments or complaints about the project as a whole should be posted here.

Clockwork Episode 8 (108D)
Benjamin vs.Rachel vs. Jeffrey

The camera fades in to reveal a man standing in front of a large blank screen. "Hello, world!" he says. "I'm Josh Painter"welcome to Clockwork!" The audience is seen cheering before the camera cuts back to Josh, this time a shot with a view of his podium too.

"This is the show," he says once the audience quiets down, "where contestants just complete simple stunts and answer some simple questions to win. So, without further ado, let"s meet our players!"

A view of a crazily-colored wall is shown, and it spins round to reveal three contestants behind three lecterns which slide out onto the main set. "And here they are!"announces Josh, and the camera begins to pan through the players as he introduces them.

"Dressed in red is the 12-year-old Benjamin! He is an inventor and he also plays basketball on his middle school"s team!"

"Dressed in blue is the 12-year-old Rachel! She loves painting and sketching, but she"s also played acoustic guitar for six years."

"And dressed in yellow is the 13-year-old Jeffrey! He collects DVDs and old videotapes, and he loves to rollerblade all around his neighborhood. Let"s hear it for today"s players!" The audience gets even louder, then quiets down as the camera fades back to close-ups of Josh and the three players.

"Okay, let"s begin our game, shall we"" continues Josh. "We"re gonna start off by playing a game called "Beat the Alarm". I"m gonna ask a question worth $25 and the first player answer it correctly must pick a card on the TV screen"" Josh turns around and points at his backdrop, which comes to life and displays five cards ""and perform the stunt on it for $50. But remember, if the stunt isn"t completed, the next player can buzz in and steal that money. Let"s begin with our first $25 question""

He asks: "Here"s a math question to start off with" what is the cube root of 64""

After a short pause, Rachel rings in: "Um, four""

"Correct," replies Josh, the audience cheering as he does so. "Okay, pick a card, any card."

"That one," says Rachel, pointing to the second card from the right. "Let"s take a look at your choice," Josh says in response, taking the card that prints out of his podium. He reads: "This is a job that will surely please; it"s your chance to be the big cheese. It"s The Big Cheese, down here"follow me, right down this way"" He leads Rachel down a set of steps onto the sunken stunt floor, and then walks her over to a circular tank filled with a yellow-orange liquid.

"This is a very simple stunt," he then explains, "but that doesn"t mean it"s such an easy one. Inside that vat is a small ball that looks like this"" He holds up a small silver pinball to demonstrate ""and it"s your job to find it. You can dive in, you can stay out, you can throw that cheese out of there, but I want you to find that ball in 15 seconds or less, and if you do, you get 50 bucks. How"d that be""

"Uh" nice," laughs Rachel. "It would be indeed," agrees Josh. "All right! On your mark, get set" GO!"

On this word, Rachel kneels down in front of the vat and begins searching around with her hands. "She"s gonna use her hands," narrates Josh. [0:11] She continues searching with her hands only, unwilling to climb inside, but now swiping around in the vat more violently. "Okay, NOW she"s starting to move," says Josh, with six seconds remaining. She continues to move her hands about in the cheese"but a horn sounds and time"s up!

"Ooh"" laments Josh. "Didn"t quite make it, but that's all right, she could regain that money with a $75 question, and lots more mess coming up today on Clockwork! Stick around!" The screen switches to a montage of clips, before the logo appears and the screen fades out with the theme music ending in a clock-ticking sound.

... that they made a ride out of it!

Being a big fan of the amusement industry, I'm embarrassed that I haven't heard of it yet (and hopefully this isn't old news ) but, yes, Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America has opened a BrainSurge-themed ride:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X_bE_Uj-bU

I think that this is very good for the show. Hopefully this proves that game shows can still attract kids from the 21st century, and well enough so that they can open a ride themed after the show! I hope this means that BrainSurge will be here for at least a third season, and hopefully a few more, so that a possible new game show from Nick will be given the green light. This is definitely an improvement over the previous years for Nickelodeon.

Granted, the ride doesn't really incorporate the show's theme well, but game shows are a very difficult theme to work with, and I think Nickelodeon did a fairly good job - it's not an iCarly ride, am I right?

Opinions?
