There’s already a comedy stage version of Knightmare, but one you can actually play would be brilliant, even if deciding which team member gets to be dungeoneer would be trickier than an encounter with Granitas the Wall Monster. Those winning kids probably had statues of themselves built in their hometowns. Only eight teams ever made it to the end and the prize – a plaque, medallion or statue – was hardly worth the effort. As with The Crystal Maze, this show was hard as nails – one wrong move and you were dungeon meat. Three friends, meanwhile, would sit in a different room with Treguard, a sort of medieval Jeff-from- Byker Grove, issuing precise instructions about what the blinded ‘dungeoneer’ should do next. Like Game Of Thrones made on an Atari ST, this long-running CITV show saw a plucky kid navigating peril-filled dungeons, collecting items, solving puzzles, avoiding pits and answering riddles for witches and jesters – all while wearing a comedy-sized Viking helmet. Now that the immersive version of The Crystal Maze is open to the public in London, we got thinking about which other ’90s gameshows we’d like to experience for reals.
