Steps of Knowledge  In the old West, gunfighters used to say speed is fine, but accuracy is final! And nobody knew this better than the Prince of the Pistoleers: Wild Bill Hickok. He was tall and handsome with long hair and a mustache, and was quite a ladies' man. By the time he became marshal of Abilene, Kansas, he was said to have killed more than 100 men. Wild Bill made everyone check their guns at the edge of town and asked lawbreakers to move along peaceably. But if they refused, he wasn't afraid of a shootout. After serving as marshal of Abilene, he joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. One day, playing poker in Deadwood, South Dakota, he was shot from behind by an angry gambler. His poker hand at the time was a full house- three aces and two eights. To this day, it's called the dead man's hand. Someone grabbed the cards off the table, and they found their way to the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Orange Iguanas are twelve-year-old Joshua Shullener, who wants to be an astronaut, and eleven-year-old Sarah Beckmeyer, who collects postcards. The Green Monkeys are twelve-year-old Amber, who loves to cook, particularly macaroni and cheese, and thirteen-year-old Ian, who has seven cats. Dead Man's Hand (Bungee Soap Ramp)  When Wild Bill Hickok died, he was holding a poker hand called a full house- three aces and two eights. And that hand became known as the dead man's hand. At the top of the ramp were hidden three aces and two eights. When Kirk gave the signal, each player climbed up the ramp on his knees, grabbed a card, and then slid back down and dropped it in his bucket. Then he climbed back up again, grabbed another card. They had one minute. The first player to get all of his cards or the player with the most cards won. Ian and Joshua each got two cards in their respective bucket, but Kirk miscounted the score as both having three each due to there being that many cards remaining atop the ramp. Bullet through a Button Hole (Water Chute)  Wild Bill Hickok was a crack shot. They say he could put a bullet through a buttonhole at 50 feet. They made it a little simpler for the players. All they had to do was to get a ball (attached to a helmet) into the bullseye (from the other side). There was a complication, though. They had to slide down the tubes and throw them through the hole. If they missed, they had to go back for another. The player with the most bullseye in one minute won. Amber and Sarah each scored three bullseyes, but Kirk miscounted this game as well: he claimed that both girls scored four bullseyes. High Noon Shootout (Velcro Ball Toss)  Being a lawman in the old West meant being challenged to a shootout at high noon, and they had a shootout there. But in that duel, the teams want to get hit. One player from each team was in place on the top of each platform. When Kirk gave the signal, their partners tossed a ball and the players caught them on their shirt. Then they grabbed another ball and tried to hit their partners again. The team with the most balls attached to their players shirts in one minute won. The Orange Iguanas won the game after landing eight balls over the Green Monkeys, who only landed five. Amusingly, Sarah accidentally hit Joshua in an inappropriate area with a ball, spurring "insightful" commentary from Kirk.
Temple Run  Josh chose the Cave of Sighs as his starting point, only to encounter the first Temple Guard there. He continued across the bottom floor, until he sat on the Throne— while both doors were unlocked, the door to the Swamp did not open all the way. As a result, he ascended to the Heart Room where he was removed with 2:16 remaining. Sarah followed his footsteps, only to be denied access to the Room of the Golden Idols and momentarily backtrack into the Wall Climb; with 1:30 left, she went up to the Observatory, which proved to be a dead end, forcing her to return to the Throne Room. Even more confused, she retreated to the Wall Climb to try the door leading to the Observatory, proceeding to complete the loop from there to the Heart Room down to the Throne Room, where the Swamp door properly opened after she stepped on the Throne. She met the third Temple Guard in the Swamp, and both doors to the Tomb of the Ancient Kings were locked, forcing her to climb upwards to the Room of the Golden Idols, when time expires.
