Ep 5. What's The Sign For Winning?

In The Crystal Maze season 1 episode 5, titled "What's The Sign For Winning?", a new group of contestants enters the maze, eager to take on its challenges and win the coveted crystal trophies. The team consists of five members who have never met before, but they are all united in their determination to succeed.

The host of the show, Richard O'Brien, welcomes the contestants and explains the rules of the game. He tells them about the four different zones of the maze, each with its own type of challenge. They will have to complete tasks in each zone to earn crystals, which will help them in the final challenge to win the grand prize - a cash reward.

The first challenge takes place in the Industrial Zone, where the team has to work together to solve puzzles and navigate through a maze of pipes and valves. They earn two crystals for their efforts and move on to the next zone.

In the Medieval Zone, the team faces a physical challenge in the form of a game of skill and accuracy. They must use a giant catapult to launch a bag of sand at targets on a wall, aiming for as many points as possible. Despite a slow start, the team manages to earn another crystal.

The next challenge takes place in the Aztec Zone, where the team is tasked with solving a complex puzzle in a room filled with obstacles and traps. They must use their wits and teamwork to find the solution and earn another crystal.

Finally, the team reaches the Futuristic Zone, where they must complete a series of mental and physical challenges in a virtual reality setting. This includes a game of laser tag and a mind-bending puzzle that tests their ability to think outside the box.

With four crystals in their possession, the team enters the final challenge - the Crystal Dome. This iconic challenge involves the team working together to collect gold tickets that are flying around in a chamber filled with fans and wind machines. They have to gather as many tickets as possible within a set time limit, using nothing but their bare hands.

Will the team be able to work together and earn enough tickets to win the grand prize? Or will their efforts fall short and leave them empty-handed? Tune in to this thrilling episode of The Crystal Maze to find out.
