The Crystal Maze has an aztec setting among others and when time's up, players will get locked in. Here's the other wiki link.

sounds a little like Jungle Run to me, where the contestints kids? If so then its probably Jungle Run.

^ The OP specifies "before 1997", and Jungle Run debuted in 1999.

(If the contestants were kids, it could still be The Crystal Maze, which had occasional specials where the contestants were children.)

I was thinking the same thing, although I now think it isn't.

If it was on TV in Hong Kong it was more likely a British show than an American one — based on my own childhood memory of HK's TV programming, at least. Which would make The Crystal Maze the most likely option so far.

OMG! Crystal Maze is exactly the show! Thanks so much — I'm now going to spend hours on youtube reliving my childhood. =)
