Jump into The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience – the hit 90s TV show now brought to breathtakingly immersive, genuine 3D life. It’s where teams run around madly, shout themselves hoarse, complete all sorts of tricky challenges and finish up in some lovely satin bomber jackets. Honestly, this has everything.

Did this in Leicester Square. The games are way too quick here to count as an escape room but as a huge crystal maze fan I honestly loved this and each zone is so realistic to the original show.
The hosts are also brilliant.
The crystal dome is disappointing as the silver strips are basically all tattered so hence hard to play properly.

Not the usual escape room, but we were blown away by how well it was done. We had a team of 4 and so we all got to do 4 puzzles each. The host we had, Ricky Diamond, was hilarious too.

A fantastic experience that perfectly clones the TV show. It really does feel like you’re in an episode of The Crystal Maze.
I’ve been starting to get good-natured mocking from friends and colleagues over my general obsession with the Crystal Maze Live Experience. I crowdfunded them back before they opened their first London venue, played four times in Angel with different sets of people, and was starting to know the games better than the staff. I couldn’t go to Manchester and not try that maze out, could I?
The remake of the classic 90s TV series of the same name. With a million pound kickstarter, bookings stretching out a year in advance and media praising them left, right and centre they had a lot to live up to. How did they fare?
Simply brilliant. An hour of pure, unadulterated fun. I had been waiting 25 years for the time I got to actually play the Crystal Maze for myself — and it was everything it was billed to be.
