Celebrity Line Up Announced

The Crystal Maze is back with the most exciting celebrity cast to date! Episode one contestants include reality TV star Gemma Collins, TV presenter Carol Vorderman, comedian Ellie Taylor, reality TV star James “Arg” Argent, and TV presenter Rick Edwards. Maze Master Richard Ayoade will lead the celebrities through complex challenges that test both their mental and physical strength, with the end goal of winning the prize sum for Stand Up To Cancer. With the introduction of the new Eastern Zone, influenced by the diverse culture of East Asia, and the added pressure of the new Mega Crystal, there are many unpredictable surprises that will come their way.

New Zone

The Crystal Maze will return in 2019 with all new celebrity episodes and an all new zone: The Eastern Zone. Influenced by the historic art, architecture and monuments of East Asia, the zone will feature five games rooms for eight new games, set around a lily pond, cherry blossom trees and ornate vases. The new zone will join the Futuristic, Aztec and Industrial Zones, with all four featuring a host of challenging new puzzles in the forthcoming series. It’s the first time a new realm has been added to the show since the Ocean Zone was introduced in the fourth series of the original 1990s run.
