Jump into The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience โ€“ the hit 90s TV show now brought to breathtakingly immersive, genuine 3D life.

Never seen the original show so wasn't struck by nostalgia but we both had a fun time playing this. Our GM was fantastic and very enthusiastic. Puzzles were kinda easy but enjoyable; I think the experience is made more by the nostalgia and the group you play with. If we knew our whole team beforehand and they were enthusiastic then it would've been way better. If you are fans of the show and are willing to pay the steep price then you'll probably have great fun.

Bcked this on Indiegogo and played in its original Angel location. Absolutely brilliant recreation of the TV show, great games and brilliant maze master. Only negative was that the tokens in the dome were small flimsy bits of silver and gold foil that were torn and tatty, so hard to grab! Still an amazing experience and bought myself a crystal at the end as a memento.

Fantastic immersion - Aztec Zone is covered with sand and chirping birds, Medieval Zone a slightly chilly and haunted feel.

Excellent set design and games master truly captures the feel of the show.

Fantastic puzzles, some old from the show, some new - a must do for any Crystal Maze fans.

Seems like every game we tried was flawed in some way. We're lucky we wasn't put with strangers though!

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 โ€” and it was everything it was billed to be.
A fantastic experience that perfectly clones the TV show. It really does feel like youโ€™re in an episode of The Crystal Maze.ย 
Iโ€™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 couldnโ€™t go to Manchester and not try that maze out, could I?
