The original temple run

When the people would reach through the walls and grab the runners... scared me everytime.

What show was this?

You had to earn them in the trivia rounds/physical challenges so that if you and your partner made it to the Temple you could exchange one to the Temple Guards if you were caught.

There's these little things called reruns (I was born in 1999 too; I think I watched them when I was six or seven)
