Trash TV fans and 90s kids take note: a new batch of tickets has been made available for the sell out the Crystal Maze experience in Manchester in April 2017.
This will be the immersive attraction’s second venue, in Manchester’s former Granada Studios, following the opening in London in March this year. In it, teams make their way round a reconstruction of the set from the hit Channel 4 gameshow, completing logic puzzles and physical challenges in order to collect precious crystals . It prompted much excitement from the generation who grew up watching it on television and both venues sold out quickly.
This week organisers released a new batch of tickets for the London location from May to June 2017, and for Manchester from April to July.
Although the design of the Manchester venue will stay true to the four original themed zones of Industrial, Future, Medieval and Aztec, the plan is to make each zone grander and “more immersive”: think rope bridges, robots and an outdoor Mars-scape. The Manchester venue will also feature different games to London (barring Lazers). The opening of the original venue garnered a huge amount of attention, and Guardian Travel went along to try it out – although we cheated and got disqualified. Tip: when you’re in the Crystal Dome, DON’T scoop the foil from the floor.
