The Crystal Maze LIVE Manchester Experience

Play for real at the Crystal Maze live in Manchester! Bringing the hit TV game show to life, you'll be taking part in your very own episode of the Crystal Maze at this amazing location in the heart of Manchester's St John's area.

Where better to play the Crystal Maze game than in the former Granada Studios? This vast studio has been home to the likes of Coronation Street, The Royal Family and Cracker. Now it's a fabulous facsimile of the original Crystal Maze set, right down to the iconic Dome and even the slide into the Aztec zone.

This 'real life' version of the show is just as wild and whacky as the show on the telly. You'll be tackling the very same games as the teams who appeared on the show, all with the aim of collecting as many crystals as you can. Will it be fist-pumping, high-fiving success, or will you and your team fail to win the crystals?

And don't forget, the more crystals you have, the longer you get in the iconic Crystal Dome. It's frantic in there, as you desperately try and grab hold of those shiny gold tokens, with the powerful fans blowing them everywhere.

Just like original hosts Richard O'Brien, Ed Temple-Tudor and Richard Ayoade, your Crystal Maze journey will be presided over by one of the 20 Manchester Maze Masters.They're the all-seeing eyes when it comes to tackling the games and puzzles. They stay in character all the time and with pretty big personalities, they really make the game experience special.

With lots of shrieks of delight (or despair), laughter and lots of banter, it's quite possibly the ultimate team experience. What's more, it's all so much like the TV show in its authenticity (even the music is the same!) that you'll really feel like you're a contestant. It's totally immersive and hands-on, so prepare to run, climb and scramble your way around the zones.

The Crystal Maze Live in Manchester is an epic production worthy of the original television show in an iconic studio location. Time to get your team together, give yourselves a witty team name and see if you can reach the dizzy heights of the Crystal Maze leaderboard in Manchester!
