The Ocean Zone lands at The Crystal Maze Experience London
7th Jan 2026
A sunken path has surfaced.
Whispers of a hidden world confirmed.
After weeks of speculation, the story breaks today!
You've been waiting patiently and we can now finally reveal that The Ocean Zone is now open at The Crystal Maze Experience London - a brand-new environment inspired by the power, mystery, and unpredictability of the deep.
Inspired by one of the most requested zones from the original TV show.
Designed as a bold evolution rather than a replica, the Ocean Zone blends nostalgic appeal with a richly immersive, fantastical underwater world.
The experience takes players inside a submarine-inspired environment, drawing on classic adventure storytelling rather than industrial realism.
Warm metallic tones, steampunk detailing, and copper finishes are contrasted with deep, mystical blue lighting to create the illusion of being submerged, while maintaining a playful, cinematic atmosphere.
While visually striking, the Ocean Zone remains unmistakably Maze.
The focus is on teamwork, time pressure, and shared decision-making, with the environment heightening tension and excitement rather than overpowering the gameplay.
The launch reinforces The Crystal Maze Experience’s position as the original and best immersive team experience, constantly evolving while staying true to what made it iconic.
Matthew Stubbs, Head of Creative at Little Lion Entertainment -
"The Ocean Zone has been one of the most requested additions from fans of the original show, so we wanted to honour that while creating something that feels entirely new.
Every detail has been designed to add to the experience’s sense of immersion and excitement, with challenges that test teamwork, timing, and decision-making like never before.
It feels unmistakably like the Crystal Maze guests have come to know and love but brought to life through a new lens."
