Does your family have what it takes to conquer The Crystal Maze?
Following the success of Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze, it seems the network has renewed the hit series for a second season, and are now casting families to be contestants on season two!
Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze is an all-new version of the legendary UK hit series, featuring comedian/writer Adam Conover as the Maze Master, charged with guiding one family team through physical and mental challenges set within an elaborate labyrinth of four giant and immersive themed zones: Aztec, Eastern, Futuristic and Industrial.
In each episode, the youngest family member takes on the role of team Captain. The successful completion of escape-room style challenges are rewarded with a “time crystal” granting the family five seconds in the centerpiece final zone called the Crystal Dome. The more crystals gathered throughout the game, the more time each family has for a dramatic clock countdown challenge inside the iconic Dome for a chance to win up to $25,000.
A current ratings smash in the UK, The Crystal Maze has been a beloved family and cult favorite since the mid ‘90s, with the current global popularity of the escape room phenomena reigniting interest further. The show was recently rebooted to great success with celebrity, charity and family seasons in UK, Australia and beyond.
Season one features families from Houston, Texas; Scottsdale, Ariz; Lake Forest, Calif; Eastvale, Calif ; St. Augustine, Fla; Windemere, Fla; Chester, Va; Germantown, Tenn; Carollton, Texas; and Wheaton, Ill tackling a range of challenges in the maze for the first time ever for U.S. audiences.
For season two, Bunim/Murray Productions is now casting families of five from across the U.S. that include at least one adult and at least two children aged between 9-13 years old. Applicants must have a passport valid until December 2020 and be able to travel to the UK for filming by Friday, July 3, 2020. Child contestants must be at least 9 years old by June 2020. Applications should be completed by a participating parent or guardian.
