Start the fans please, Manchester, because the Crystal Maze is heading up north for its second venue opening. The immersive gaming experience has already been a smash hit in London with tickets selling out months in advance, and it looks like the Manchester venue will be just as popular. Opening in Spinningfield's Old Granada Studios, the event will have the same aspects as the legendary '90s TV show including the Crystal Dome.
The Manchester venue will have more than 30 rooms which are split into four zones (Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic) and then subdivided into categories: mental, physical, skill and mystery. Expect a variety of puzzles, climbing challenges and other surprises to test you. Teams of up to eight will be allowed to play with the aim to collect as many crystals as possible to earn time in the iconic Crystal Dome. Yes, you will get to grab the golden tickets. The venue will also differ from the London space as it will allow children from the age of 13 to play for the first time as long as they are accompanied by an adult. To the Crystal Dome!
Manchester's Crystal Maze will open from April 2017 at Old Granada Studios, QUAY House, Quay Street, Manchester, M3 3JE. Tickets start from £45 per person and the Crystal Maze will be open Tuesday - Sunday and on Bank Holidays.
