episode features four teams of adults, with same-gender teams allowed. Confessionals occur during the first three rounds. The first three teams to cross the moat advance to the Steps of Knowledge. The episode's featured legend is now told more extensively in separate parts before each round, instead of just before the Steps of Knowledge. There are two temple games, each played for a full pendant, and with both teammates playing. The two teams compete head-to-head in one game, while the other is a timed challenge, with the winner of the Steps of Knowledge having the choice of which team goes first. If the teams split the first two games, Olmec asks a single tiebreaker question for the final pendant. Olmec reveals the location of the artifact before the Temple Run instead of the Steps of Knowledge. The temple consists of 11 rooms instead of 12, and the rooms are much larger than the original. Temple guards often appear after the contestant finishes the room's objective, instead of right when the player enters the room. Teams have four minutes rather than three minutes to complete the Temple Run in a redesigned temple. The winning team receives $2,500 just for entering the temple, which is increased to $10,000 if they reach the artifact, and to $25,000 if they exit the temple before time expires. Reception Writing for Entertainment Weekly, A.J. Jacobs listed Legends of the Hidden Temple among a series of imitators of American Gladiators, describing the concept as "Gladiators meets Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." Jacobs criticized the "Steps of Knowledge" round as filler, but concluded that "kids'll praise it to the moon." Legends won the award for best game show at the 16th Annual CableACE awards in January 1995. The show also received nominations at the 17th and 18th Annual CableACE Awards in December 1995 and October 1996, but lost to The News Hole and Debt. Feminist author Susan Douglas, a Hampshire College professor of media and American studies, praised Legends of the Hidden Temple for being a "nonsexist and nonviolent" show.
