If you watched the show growing up, now’s the chance to fulfill your childhood destiny by trying out in the Legends of the Hidden Temple auditions.

Legends of the Hidden Temple originally debuted from 1993-1995 on Nickelodeon, and featured teams of kids completing adventurous obstacles in a studio disguised as a jungle. Now, as the show’s contestants have grown up, so have the challenges: the games won’t be as easy, and the studio has been swapped out for an actual jungle. If you’re still interested in competing — yes, the prizes have aged up too — read on.

What are the requirements to be cast on Legends of the Hidden Temple?

As noted above, kids are no longer welcome in The CW reboot of Legends of the Hidden Temple. Now, you have to be at least 21 to apply for the show.

What are some tips on how to get cast?

The application clearly states that Legends super-fans are a plus, so do your homework. Watch the original series on Paramount+ ahead of time to prepare. “If you grew up on Legends of the Hidden Temple and dreamed of your own epic Temple Run,” the casting call says, “it’s time to live that dream!”

You’ll have to list your strengths and weaknesses, tell the story of how you met, rattle off any special abilities, and dive deep into everything you love about the original series. You’ll also need a photo of both you and your teammate.
