The Crystal Maze
A team of six strangers enter The Crystal Maze. These contestants are led through four themed zones by the eccentric host. Within each zone are a number of rooms, each containing some kind of game, puzzle, challenge or test. The team must choose one of their members to take on a challenge selected by the host. If they succeed they win a time crystal, if they fail they either leave empty handed or are locked in the room - requiring the team to expend a crystal to buy them out. Each time crystal is worth 5 seconds in the grand finale in which the contestants enter the Crystal Dome. There they get exactly as much time as they have won to gather as many gold colored foil tickets and as few silver ones as possible. But the tickets are being blown around inside the dome by huge fans.

SU2C Special

26 years after the show's cancellation, The Crystal Maze is revived for a one-off "Stand Up to Cancer" charity special with special host Stephen Merchant. Five celebrities, broadcaster Sara Cox, actress Michelle Keegan, Paralympics sprint runner Jonnie Peacock, comedian and The Last Leg (2012) co-host Josh Widdicombe, who was a big fan of the original show, and former footballer Rio Ferdinand as their team captain, face the challenges of the Crystal Maze to win £25,000 for Cancer Research UK. Stephen agrees to shave his head for the special, but there is no way he will let the team win with ease just because it is for a good cause.
