Will you start the (board game) fans please!

We have been contacted by Rascals, the board game company behind the innovative brand new Crystal Maze Board game entering shops in the next couple of weeks. A few of us have seen a proof of the actual game rules, screenshots of the timer phone app and we are very impressed with what they've come up with. (We cannot share these with you at the moment). We cannot wait to scramble like we are running between zones to get this board game! As soon as we get a copy of it, we will be reviewing it in full here after having a play with it. Expect this game to take a while to set up. The makers told us that the board game is so full of items, that they had a job to cram it all in the box. We haven't played it yet and we already like the sound of what it offers, based upon our first fan glimpses. Please tip us off if you see it for sale anywhere. Apparantly it is going to enter the supply chain process with retailers in dribs and drabs, so it will be quite hard to get hold of to begin with.

We have been told that copies of the game will be available for £35 from Debenhams, John Lewis, WH Smith and Amazon from October, bringing all the adventures of this iconic TV show to the living room with a host of perplexing puzzles and tricky challenges for friends and family. 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 one another.

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. For each Crystal won you will earn time scrambling for gold tokens in the dome finale.
