TELEVISION: THE CRYSTAL MAZE: THE GAMES
PLEASE READ ME


As I've only seen a handful of shows, there are only so many games I have seen played, but I hope to have a definitive listing of the games here eventually.

"Extinguish All Lights"- There is a board, covered in buttons. Above the board is a series of lights that spell out "extinguish all lights". On the panel itself, each button either turns a light or series of lights on/off, or does nothing. The puzzle is to first guess which buttons control the lights, then to figure out the correct order to push the buttons to turn out all the lights.

Zone: Future

Air Hockey- This puzzle includes three air hockey-type puck pieces, and three goals, color-coded to the pucks. The goal of the game is to match each puck to the goal, using the blower. The goals and pucks are magnetized, so when the puck hits the goal it stays. However, they are on an air-blown board, like in air hockey, so a short blast will move the pieces a long way easily.

Zone: Future

Cart and Crystal- In this puzzle, there is a large pool of water in the room. Falling into the water is an immediate lock-in, so that's your first worry. Beyond that, there is a railroad track spanning the water, and a cart on the other side. The first task is to complete the rail, so that the cart can come across. Once this is done, a key on the far wall opens the cart. There is a smaller box inside, also locked. The key to that box is located on the other side. Inside this box lies the Crystal.

Spoons- Mystery games can be pretty much anything, but the main thing is that they require logic and reason to solve. This particular game is played in a room filled with things one might find in a kitchen. Clues are laid about the room telling the player what to looks for. The clues in this puzzle were found on spoons, and the spoons had letters which spelled out the word "drum", to lead you to find a key, do a puzzle and so forth. Solving the puzzle in it's entirety gets you the crystal.

Scaling the Wall- The goal of this game is to get to the crystal. It is a physical game, meaning the crystal is already visible, and the only thing you have to be able to do is GET to it. It's located about a third of the way across the room, all around the walls are small pegs in which you put hooks. For your feet, there are tiny little ledges, which disappear very soon after you step on them, making it impossible to come back the way you came. On the floor are many spikes, and touching the floor at any time constitutes an immediate lockin.

Once the crystal is won, the player must attach themselves to a pulley and swing down a rope to the door.
