The revived 90s gameshow received over 30,000 applications from the public, from which 15 teams were selected. That lot join five celebrity teams tackling 41 new games in an initial series of 20 hour-long episodes.
Unlike the Stephen Merchant-presented charity episode, which was filmed at the popular London Crystal Maze Experience, the new instalments were recorded in a purpose-built 32,500 square foot maze created by original maze designer James Dillon.
