Kirk Fogg Reveals All the Secrets Behind LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE
To this day, there has not been a game show that has topped Nickelodeon in the 90s. They had GUTS, Family Double Dare, and Nick Arcade, but none of them reached quite the level of awesomeness that was Legends of The Hidden Temple. What wasn't to love? You had a giant head named Olmec quizzing you on history while you battled against other children for supremacy and a shot to enter "the temple."
Get in and out of the temple in 90 seconds (which was nothing short of a miracle) and you won a cruise for your family. Of course, it wasn't that easy. You could be kidnapped by temple guards who could only be stopped by pendents, and you had to solve super tough puzzles that most adults may not be able to solve, let alone kids! It was a show so inspiring that I have a Purple Parrots t-shirt in my closet right now.
In the video below, former host Kirk Fogg tells us some of the lesser known facts about the show we didn't care about back then. I wish I could've been on the show. No doubt I would've walked away with at least two Huffy bikes...
