Crystal Maze Manchester

The ever popular team game runs daily and allows teams of eight people to pit their wits against games of skill, physical and mental challenges and mystery tasks as they vie to win crystals which buy more time in the famous dome at the end.

It’s huge amounts of fun, with the physical games particularly enjoyable, and constant entertainment from the chatty hosts who guide you round the maze. See if you can make the leaderboard at the end!

It is on Lower Byrom Street near the science museum. Book your tickets here.
