The Crystal Maze Live Experience Manchester

A school trip to The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience in Manchester is the perfect opportunity for both students and teachers to embrace their silly side and have some fun. The Crystal Maze offers students and teachers the opportunity to develop a range of skills – are you ready for the challenge?

Work as a team

The ultimate teamwork challenge, The Crystal Maze is the perfect opportunity for both students and teachers to learn how to get the best out of each other and play to each other’s strengths.

Work under pressure

Your whole team is guaranteed to be right behind you screaming ‘helpful’ instructions at the top of their voices, whilst you are set on gaining that vital crystal! *earplugs will not help, kids can have VERY loud voices* You are also always against the clock, the time flies by in the maze…

Problem Solving

The tasks are made to be challenging; it’s no walk in the park. That makes grasping that crystal ever so sweeter, nothing tops it. The tasks range from skill challenges, which test mathematics and reason, to mystery, which tests decisiveness and intuition.

Confidence Building

Despite there being ups and downs within the maze, confidence levels thrive. It’s amazing to see the pride as well as the crystals our adventurers are carrying when they emerge from the mighty maze.

It is impossible to crack The Crystal Maze on your own; it’s all about teamwork! Students will need to work together to help each other complete their games, therefore utilising key listening and communication skills as well as exerting leadership and problem solving. Amongst our challenges are a range of physical games which will need flexibility, stamina and strength to complete!

The range of games and puzzles available across the crystal maze means that students will leave having practiced a range of soft skills needed for life in the world of work, as well as having had a fun, bonding day out!

The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience is suitable for everyone aged 9+

For schools, group sizes are usually a minimum of 32 but please talk to our friendly team to plan your best experience.

If desired, we’re able to allow photography inside the Maze, however, this will be limited to certain areas/zones so you don’t spoil the puzzles for others.

Full risk assessments and planning documents will be available during booking.
