Stenhoved fra sagn om det skjulte tempel?
Scenografien i Legends of the Hidden Temple var baseret på Indiana Jones-filmene, og Marianne Arneberg fra Orlando Sentinel beskrev programmet som "en kombination af Jeopardy og Raiders of the Lost Ark". Scenografien er blevet beskrevet som maya-designet. Det omfattede områder til forskellige typer fysiske udfordringer: en bred, men lavvandet vandpøl (voldgraven), et sæt trapper (kundskabens trapper) og en stor, vertikal labyrint i to og en halv etage (det "skjulte tempel"). Ved templets port var der et talende Olmec-hoved, der blot hed Olmec (med stemme af Dee Bradley Baker). Olmec fortalte de historier, der blev fortalt i kundskabens trin og tempelspillets udfordringer (i den første sæson var det dog Fogg, der fortalte tempelspillets udfordringer). Hver episode drejede sig om en bestemt legende om en artefakt (ægte eller fiktiv) fra hele verden, som fandt vej til templet. Nogle af artefakterne var "Lawrence af Arabiens hovedbeklædning", "Benjamin Franklins elektrificerede nøgle", "Katarina den Stores juvelindfattede æg" og "Ikaros' knækkede vinge". Ud over at levere en artefakt var legenden også vigtig for andre aspekter af showet: i "Steps of Knowledge" blev der brugt spørgsmål baseret på den historiske legende, og temaet for tempelspillene var også løseligt baseret på legenden.
The set design of Legends of the Hidden Temple was based on the Indiana Jones movies, and Marianne Arneberg of the Orlando Sentinel described the program as "a combination of Jeopardy and Raiders of the Lost Ark". The set design has been described as Mayan. It included areas for different types of physical challenges: a broad but shallow pool of water (the moat), a set of steps (the Steps of Knowledge), and a large, two-and-a-half-floor vertical labyrinth (the "hidden temple"). At the temple's gate was a talking Olmec head simply named Olmec (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker). Olmec narrated the stories told in the steps of knowledge and temple game challenges (although in the first season, Fogg narrated the temple game challenges). Each episode centered on a particular legend regarding an artifact (real or fictional) from around the world that found its way to the temple. Some artifacts included "Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress", "The Electrified Key of Benjamin Franklin", "The Jewel-Encrusted Egg of Catherine the Great", and "The Broken Wing of Icarus". In addition to providing an artifact, the legend also was important to other aspects of the show: the Steps of Knowledge used questions based on the historical legend, and the theme of the temple games was also loosely based on the legend.
