Win It Wednesday - The Crystal Maze

This week the whole gang is talking about a 90's game show - The Crystal Maze!

Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!

 The Crystal Maze! Back in the 90s there was nothing like this game show and when you threw in Richard O'Brien you knew you were in for a good time.  Greg swears that they auditioned to find the STUPIDEST contestants ever because sometimes they really are as thick as two short planks.  That's OK, because Richard talks to us about them in a super patronizing way, and randomly plays the harmonica.  If you watch - look out for the one with the Mensa Member who couldn't solve a puzzle  Those comments were CLASSIC!

Basically the game is a huge warehouse split into 4 zones with a bunch of puzzle games in rooms - very much like modern day escape rooms - and yes some of them get locked in. One of the best things about it is that it still works very much today when you watch. Yes the hairstyles etc are a bit dated, but because of how the game is set up there is nothing there that dates it. Some of the exact puzzles were IN the escape room Susan and I did with Greg, just last year.

If you want something a bit different, that you don't really have to pay attention too, and you fancy yelling at the telly (because you will), then check it out.  Especially as ALL the episodes are uploaded to YouTube by several people and noone cares enough about the show to get them pulled down!

Susan - Susan Harris is a writer from Cork, Ireland and when she’s not torturing her readers with heart-wrenching plot twists or killer cliffhangers, she’s probably getting some new book related ink, binging her latest TV or music obsession, or with her nose in a book. She is a proud founding Member of the Muser VIPers and is responsible for Melanie not breaking the Website on an almost daily basis!

The Crystal Maze was a staple of my childhood. Just like the show Gladiators, we used to watch the Crystal Maze all the time and I was known to shout at the contestants who did something stupid! There wasn't anything like the Crystal Maze on the TV, and all of the puzzle and challenges were exactly like you'd see now in a modern escape room.
(Myself and Mel defo went full Crystal Maze mode when we did an escape room with Greg last year!)

Probably the best thing about the show was the host, Richard O'Brien. That man was hilarious, and would just run around the zones causing mischief and talking to himself.  All of the reboots will never come close to the original.

Jenn - Jennifer Rhodes met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since.  She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways.  Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!

This show is honestly never something i would have watched, let alone heard about if it wasn’t for Mel’s. That show is actually a game show and it’s the Crystal Maze. It’s really so much fun and something I would have actually loved to do because I’ve always wanted to do an escape room, but some people in my life refuse to do them, unfortunately.

​I also love the host who’s from one of my favorite shows rocky horror. Though be forewarned you might end up yelling idiot at the screen multiple times. I know that I sure did. If you’re looking for something light and fun then I highly suggest you give crystal maze a watch
