Maze Master Guide

Welcome to the '''Maze Master Guide. '''This is your one-stop shop to becoming a Maze Master for the play at home version.

Maze Master Requirements
Each Maze Master will need the following.


 * A Web Conference Application: Any video sharing program is okay to use, though we recommend using Zoom (ensure the host has a Premium account or your session lasts forty minutes) or the free service of ThePubHub which offers unlimited time and runs on donations. The Maze Master must be able to share their screen at all times.
 * The Crystal Maze: Play at Home page: This is the central hub where you show each game to the team and determine the route. This site will also have the answers to all the games, do not reveal the link to the players until afterwards.
 * Timekeeping Device: Whether a stopwatch, smartphone, watch or timer, the Maze Master will give time updates throughout each game.
 * Showmanship: Whether your friends, family, or both! The Maze Master is an eccentric guide to the Crystal Maze and must keep the team entertained.

Contestant Requirements
Please ensure each team member has the following so they're all prepared to face the games:


 * A decent web browser: This is for any games that the nominated player will be using. Use of a web browser is sporadic, but it's better to be prepared! Teams in the past have utilised Chrome or Safari, so we would recommend either browser.
 * Pen and Paper: The challenges inside the Maze will require a lot of quick thinking and logic, write your thoughts down.
 * PC/Laptop/Tabet Device: This experience is suited for players who are using any smart device/personal computer. Playing on a smartphone is possible though you will be limited by what you can do.

Team Name and Captain/Vice-Captain delegation
At the start of the game, ask your team for two things.


 * Captain: Responsible for nominating each player to play the outlined game and makes the final call on whether or not to buy out contestants.
 * Vice-Captain: In the event the Captain is locked-in for any reason, the appointed Vice-Captain is promoted to Captain and assumes command.

Games & Automatic Lock-Ins
All the games within the Maze are played via two methods. The first is by a shared screen provided by your Maze Master, the second is again a shared screen provided by the nominated player. Your team mates can assist in challenges unless otherwise directed, and most answers can be given using your voice. Some games have an automatic lock-in feature, whereby a contestant cannot leave a room unless an attempt for an answer is given - if a contestant becomes locked in (either by an automatic lock in, or they exceeded their time) they are still permitted to help for the rest of the game but must be bought back before the final game or be down one (or more) when arriving at the Crystal Dome.
