The Experience
The only way you’re going to solve this British game is with teamwork and lots of it! Get set for a series of challenges testing your ability - both mental and physical - across four adventure zones, from the futuristic to Aztec, Medieval to Industrial. Every challenge your team succeeds in will win a crystal and save time for the final showdown at the Crystal Dome.
Each member of the team can reveal their hidden talent in individual trials. So much fun and an amazing experience for a group of friends or family! Trials are cool games 2 to 3 minutes long and you choose the category: Physical, Mental, Skill or Mystery. The more challenges you complete, the more time crystals you win!

Transport Information
By Car:
Pop M3 4FP into your sat-nav and head to Lower Byrom Street- right next to the Science & Industry Museum. There’s no parking on-site, but you’ll find handy car parks nearby at Spinningfields, Great Northern Warehouse, or New Bailey - all just a short walk away.
By Train:
The closest station is Deansgate, which is about a 10-minute stroll from the Maze. If you’re coming into Manchester Piccadilly, you can either walk (takes about 20 minutes) or hop on a tram or free bus to cut down the journey.
By Bus:
Super easy! Hop on one of Manchester’s free Metroshuttle buses - they stop just around the corner on Byrom Street. Or, if you're using local bus routes like the 8, 33, 97, or X50, there are stops near the Science Museum and Watson Street, both a couple of minutes away.
