Are you in for a competition with psychological warfare that ends up in people winning games and receiving prizes? If yes, then The Crystal Maze Season 1 is perfect for you. It is the revived version of the British reality game show hosted by Richard O’Brien, which itself is based on the French game show Fort Boyard. The format consists of a group of men and women competing against one another in a wide range of challenges to test their mental, physical, mystery-solving, and skill-based capabilities. Through each challenge, they earn time or crystals, based on which they get to spend time in the crystal dome, where they experience the ultimate challenge and win a grand prize.
Here’s how you can watch and stream The Crystal Maze Season 1 via streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video.
Is The Crystal Maze Season 1 available to watch via streaming?
Yes, The Crystal Maze Season 1 is available to watch via streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
The debut season begins with the team that undertakes a long list of challenges or games. They begin at a predetermined area and have to complete every game in the particular zone. This way, they earn crystals that they carry forward to their next zone and so on. The accumulation of all their crystals is carried with them to the large crystal dome at the center of the maze, where they have to face their ultimate challenge. On top of it, they also get one chance to win a Mega Crystal, which grants them ten seconds in the crystal dome.
The games are categorized into 4 major divisions – mental, physical, mystery-solving, and skill-based. The mental games can range from brain teasers to testing memory and solving puzzles. Physical games can include obstacle courses, weightlifting, or manipulating objects. Mystery-solving challenges mostly include treasure hunts. Skill-based games, however, include driving, shooting, and other sports activities requiring hand-eye coordination and accuracy.
The revival series features Richard Ayoade as the host.
