What people say

"This amazing experience was as close to the tv series of old as you're ever gonna get, minus the charismatic Richard O'Brien ofcourse. You start with a group of an even 8, made up of either strangers or family and friends, if you have enough members that is. We played 2 games in 5 zones ranging between 2-3 mins long. Choose from a selection of 4 themed challenges: mental, physical, skill and mystery. Pick your group member to take on the challenge. Crack the games and win a crystal. Each crystal amounts to 5 seconds in the final which is played at the end in the famous crystal dome. Once in there, all members must collect as many gold and silver tickets within the time limit. Then you wrap things up with an iconic photo infront of the famous crystal dome! Overall it was exhilarating, nostalgic and so much fun. Would highly recommend!"
