In what can only be described as a moment of madness I've agreed to doing a Crystal Maze party for my daughter's 8th birthday. When I was a girl, my dad and I used to watch 'The Adventure Game', and Anna and I now watch the Crystal Maze (on Challenge if you're interested!) to carry on that tradition. We both love it...and so started my predicament.
Can any of you wonderful Hitchers think of Crystal-Maze style games (don't have to be authentic) for 8 year olds (or which could be adapted) and which could be set up by a ham fisted amateur in a back garden? Space isn't a problem as a friend of ours has a huge back garden (including an entire field's worth of lawn) he will lend us for Anna's party, but the technological heights of Crystal Maze are some way beyond my competence.
The only game we've definitely decided on is 'Guardian, where is the crystal?', where they have 4 boxes with different creatures on the front nd have to get clues from 3 guardians to eliminate all but one box.
The Zones in Crystal Maze were: Ocean, Future, Aztec, Medieval, Industrial (replaced with Ocean I think). I can do water, but only a paddling pool, so can't do any rowing games.
The more I write, the crazier it sounds. What I have I done? ?
