Manchester's Crystal Maze Live Experience is letting families visit at a cut price rate this Easter.
Inspired by the hit 90s game show of the same name, anyone from the age of nine can join in the fun, which takes players through the game's famous four zones - Aztec, Industrial, Futuristic, and Medieval.
If you watched the show, hosted by maze master Richard O'Brien, you'll know that teams complete challenges that test physical and mental skills to win as many crystals as possible.

The more crystals you win, the longer you will have to spend inside the iconic dome at the end, where the aim is to catch as many golden tickets as possible.
The idea is that you pick a player that's most suited to each game, while making sure that each person gets at least two challenges.
"Start the fans please"
The M.E.N's Manchester Family went along to try out the experience in a group of seven, including three children aged 14, 12 and 11.
While not Richard O'Brien himself, our rather eccentric maze master kept us on our toes as we made our way around and he's the one to explain each challenge and whether it's physical, skilful, mental or mystery. Some are more suited to younger ones than others, so he makes that clear if that's the case.
Our challenges ranged from climbing over ropes to reach a crystal while trying to avoid the attached bells from ringing, to rolling inside a huge barrel like a hamster in a wheel and trying to piece together a giant electric circuit.
An extra addition has been added for Easter too, with a bunny inside one of the rooms asking multiple choice questions.
While it's a minimum age of nine, I have to admit the kids fared better than us grown ups overall - winning the majority of the seven crystals, which earned us 35 seconds inside the iconic dome. The maximum number you can get is 16 so the less said about that the better.
Of course it's only us older ones who have fond memories of watching the show on TV. But it didn't stop the kids enjoying it too, especially the bit where you whizz down into the Aztec zone on a big yellow slide.
The dome is a challenge in itself, it's harder than you think to grab hold of those flying tickets - and we certainly didn't make it onto the leader board. But we had fun trying and that's worth more than any golden ticket.
Families can get up to 40% off tickets over the Easter holidays, taking the price to around £28 per person, with the offering running until April 16.
Family tickets must consist of at least one adult and two children under 18. All guests must be at least nine years, but those under 18 must be accompanied by a paying and playing adult. Family discount not available on Saturdays during this period. For more details and to book, visit the website and choose 'Family Funday Ticket' from the dropdown menu.
