Leading board game developers Rascals has today confirmed that The Crystal Maze Board Game will be released in selected retailers nationwide this October, brining all the adventures from one of the nation’s best loved TV shows to the living room with a host of perplexing puzzles and tricky challenges for friends and family.
The Crystal Maze Board Game will be available from John Lewis, Debenhams, WH Smith, Waterstones and Amazon.
Suitable for ages 10 and above, and for 2 or more players, teamwork is paramount as players voyage through the four themed time zones in one of two teams competing against each other.
Packed with an assortment of mental, mystery, skill and physical games, The Crystal Maze Board Game is sure to challenge and excite even the bravest of adventurers with success being rewarded in the shape of precious time crystals just like in the hit Channel 4 show. Each crystal won means more time to spend scrambling for gold tokens in the game’s furious finale.
To challenge players further, each team is given one A.L.I.S card (Automatic Lock-In Situation). This can be played before any player starts one of the challenges and means that if unsuccessful they can be ‘locked in’ for the rest of the game unless they are bought out with a crystal, so players must use this wisely!
Rascals has also developed an official smartphone app to accompany the game called “The Crystal Maze: Game Timer” for both Android and Apple iOS devices. This FREE app features authentic music and sound effects from the show and can be used as a timer for games in the four zones and for the Crystal Dome game, which both teams play at the end.
