RDF Television to close down

The Crystal Maze Fan blog are saddened to read tonight on social media that RDF Television is to close down. RDF produced the new series for Channel 4 in Bristol. We had a wonderful time meeting the runners and the producers of the show, when we were kindly invited to the set for two series as fans and game testers. (2018 and 2019). The staff were truly wonderful. As fans, we were given such a warm reception by them. We wont forget RDF, our experiences or the incredible staff, including Neale who was the Executive Producer. RDF was the company behind the Maze revival. Thank you all and we wish you well in your future careers. A sad day.

Crystal Maze Theme 80s style

What if The Crystal Maze came out in the 80s and the theme tune was different? Well the truth is, the Maze is technically 80s and 90s. Series One was filmed in 1989 and broadcast in 1990. There have been many fan remixes over the years on YouTube, but these 80s style ones are pretty awesome. I have also seen someone make an 8 bit version of the theme tune, as if it was on a Sega Master System. Check these videos out:

Crystal Maze title animation remade!

Someone we follow has recreated the opening title sequence of The Crystal Maze, and it is impresssive. Remaking the Crystal digitally is time consuming. Video below:

New props from the original Crystal Maze

The Crystal Maze Fan Blog have recently acquired a screen used game crystal from Series one of The Crystal Maze, as well as a Horseman figure. The Horseman figure was used in the "Treasure Hunt" game in Aztec during the the first series. (Pic below). Very nice rare props which we will look after. We are aware that original 90s Maze props are now scarce to find.
