The Crystal Maze
Created by Jacques Antoine
On Channel 4
A cheerful, imaginative British game show built on themed challenges and team camaraderie, where the maze itself is the star and the stakes are playful rather than serious.
The Crystal Maze was a British game show, produced by Chatsworth Television and shown on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom between 15 February 1990 and 10 August 1995. The series is set in "The Crystal Maze", which features four different "zones" set in various periods of time and space. A team of six contestants take part in a series of challenges in order to win "time crystals". Each crystal gives the team five seconds of time inside "The Crystal Dome", the centrepiece of the maze where the contestants take part in their final challenge.
