Now everyone can play The Crystal Maze at home with this board game based on Channel 4’s iconic adventure gameshow. Teamwork is paramount as you voyage through the four themed time zones, packed with a medley of mental, mystery, skill and physical games. Success is rewarded in the shape of precious time crystals and the more crystals you win, the more time you’ll get to spend scrambling for gold tokens in the game’s furious finale. The game is for ages 10 and up and includes everything you will need to have an a-maze-ing adventure in your living room including game boards, puzzle pieces, riddle cards, a huge double-sided board, and of course those all-important time crystals. There’s an array of tricky challenges, some of which get you up onto your feet and some are even played in different rooms of the house. Who will pit their wits against the mind-bending mental puzzles and who is plucky enough to tackle the fiendish physical trials? You can also download the FREE smartphone app The Crystal Maze: Game Timer to add the music and sound effects from the TV show into the board game (available on the App Store for iOS devices and the Google Play store). The app includes a rather natty two-minute timer for each of the four themed zones of The Crystal Maze. There is an INCREASE TIME button, which allows an extra minute of time to be added for younger players. There is also a programmable timer for the game’s exhilarating Crystal Dome finale – simply select a time from 5 to 40 seconds and wait for that iconic music to start. Let the games begin! —description from the publisher
