The Crystal Maze Experience is coming to Manchester - and it's recruiting for Maze Masters to step into the presenter's shoes.

Launching at Old Granada Studios in April after a hugely successful run in London, the experience is a near-identical replica of the hit 90s game show.

Teams of contestants have to collect crystals by completing challenges in four adventure zones - Aztec, Industrial, Futuristic and Medieval - and the maze masters will be there to guide them through.

Male and female actors with drama school training and a background in interactive or immersive theatre are being sought to help bring the experience to life.

They will be tasked with advising and adjudicating as teams of eight contestants take on physical, mystery, mental and skill tasks in a bid to win precious time inside The Crystal Dome.

"Our Maze Masters need to be witty and charismatic, able to think on their feet and facilitate the audience experience," the job advert says.

"We are looking for incredibly confident performers."

The deadline for applications is Friday January 27. Successful candidates will then be invited to audition as a character they have devised.

Rehearsals will be held from March 1 to 14, followed by two weeks of previews before the production opens to the public on April 1.
