In a series of world firsts this Awesome Foursome experience gives you an adrenaline-packed day at a very special Yorkshire location. Held in a former steel works near Sheffield this place is unique in that it is the only place big enough to accommodate crazy sky-high activities whilst remaining resolutely indoors! First things first is the safety briefing with the instruction team. Then the technicians will get you kitted out in your harness & safety equipment. Your experience will begin with a turn on the 250ft Zip Wire which happens to be the longest indoor zip wire in the world. Once the jumpmaster has attached you & pushed you off you will whizz along the wire at speeds of up to 30mph. Having safely reached the landing zone you will move to the abseiling area ready to tackle your next activity. After some guidance from your fully qualified instructor it is down to you to abseil 150ft down the ' Face of Steel'. Make no mistake this is no normal abseil where you glide down t... ...

Play for real at the Crystal Maze live in Manchester! Bringing the hit TV game show to life you'll be taking part in your very own episode of the Crystal Maze at this amazing location in the heart of Manchester's St John's area. Where better to play the Crystal Maze game than in the former Granada Studios? This vast studio has been home to the likes of Coronation Street The Royal Family & Cracker. Now it's a fabulous facsimile of the original Crystal Maze set right down to the iconic Dome & even the slide into the Aztec zone. This 'real life' version of the show is just as wild & whacky as the show on the telly. You'll be tackling the very same games as the teams who appeared on the show all with the aim of collecting as many crystals as you can. Will it be fist-pumping high-fiving success or will you & your team fail to win the crystals? & don't forget the more crystals you have the longer you get in the iconic Crystal Dome. It's frantic in there as you desperately try & grab hold of those shiny gold tokens with the powerful fans blowing them everywhere. Just like original hosts Richard O' Brien Ed Temple-Tudor & Richard Ayoade your Crystal Maze journey will be presided over by one of the 20 Manchester Maze Masters. They're the all-seeing eyes when it comes to tackling the games & puzzles. They stay in character all the time & with pretty big personalities they really make the game experience special. With lots of shrieks of delight (or despair) laughter & lots of banter it's quite possibly the ultimate team experience. What's more it's all so much like the TV show in its authenticity (even the music is the same!) that you'll really feel like you're a contestant. It's totally immersive & hands-on so prepare to run climb & scramble your way around the zones. The Crystal Maze Live in Manchester is an epic production worthy of the original television show in an iconic studio location. Time to get your team together give yourselves a witty team name & see if you can reach the dizzy heights of the Crystal Maze leaderboard in Manchester! ...

Prepare yourself for The Launch. This crazy reverse bungee experience will see you catapulting 120ft into the air. What’s more it’ll be your nearest & dearest who’ll be launching you!

Yep at the press of one very large red button you will be launched at a rate of knots into the sky. It’s all a little bit mad. You will be fully harnessed up & then connected to a single bungee cord which is anchored to the ground. The cord is then stretched...and stretched… & stretched a little bit more until it is at maximum tension.

It’s at precisely this moment that you’ll be looking into the eyes of your loved ones who are on the stage. They will be playing the role of Launch Controllers & they will be the ones firing you skywards with the simple press of a button.

As you heart starts pounding the countdown clock starts ticking. Is that an ever-so-slightly evil smile on their face as they stand there hand poised over the button? Whilst this isn’t Gorbachev or Reagan from the Cold War days the launch controllers do have the power & pressing the button will have consequences
- namely you flying upwards leaving nothing but your screams behind!

So take one last look at your friends & family on the stage & 3 2 1 blast off! Like an overstretched rubber band you’ll ping into the stratosphere (ok not actually that far but it feels like it!). Those very same loved ones will now be gawping at you wide-eyed & mouths open craning their necks to see how you look attached to a bungee cable at 120ft off the ground.

After your aerial exploits you can expect a hearty round of applause from those on the launch stage as you get winched back down to earth. After all it’s not every day you get to travel like a bullet through the air & it’s certainly not every day that your friends & family get to send you up there!

Buy your voucher for The Launch & get ready to go high in the air with up to four of your closest friends or family invited to undertake the task of launching you if you dare!
