The amount of players varies per games and bookings. Please note, if you have a small group then you may be playing with other guests - nothing like some friendly competition!

If you don't want to play, you can accompany ticket holders and watch from our viewing platform. Only ticket holders will be able to play the maze.

Please dress for fun and comfort:

· Comfortable shoes - no high heels or open-toed shoes

· This is an active experience so please wear something you are able to move around in

· As a physical activity, you are likely to get warm, so dressing lightly is recommended
