1. Future Zone
2. Ocean

4. Medieval
5. Aztec

I bet you'd be the sort of captain to pick mental challenges rather than physical too. .

If I was captain, every challenge would be physical, and I'd do them all myself. Can we change this to a poll?

I genuinely think Crystal Maze was rigged. Did anybody ever see anyone win the actual prize? What WAS the actual prize? The final challenge was the hardest thing on TV ever. Swear there were only about 20 gold notes in there and about a 1000 silver and you got like what, 5 seconds per crystal? What a joke. Probably would've been better off with just one person in there.

I'd be buzzing to get a crystal though.

Winning the show
The team had to collect at least 100 gold tokens in the Crystal Dome to win, but each silver token accidentally posted would cancel out a gold token. Hence the team had to collect 100 more gold tokens than silver ones. Each team reassembled in front of the Dome after their time was up, for the final scene of each show in which they were informed of their result by the host.
In the first series, a final balance of 50–99 gold tokens entitled team members to a 'runner-up' prize, but this was dropped in later series. In the case of the Christmas specials, featuring a team of children, they were awarded the prize regardless of their performance in the Dome.
Originally, prizes consisted of individual adventure days out, such as a flight in a Tiger Moth or a day spent mud-plugging, and contestants chose their own gold and silver grade prizes off set, just in advance of filming the Crystal Dome part of the show. From series four onwards, the contestants would choose a single prize (usually once-in-a-lifetime adventure holidays) shared by the whole team.
The prizes on the show have been described as "shoddy",[7] and Richard O'Brien frequently mocked them gently in his introduction to each show, referring to them variously as 'inconsequential', 'mediocre', 'ordinary', 'underwhelming' and so on. However, the prizes were comparable to other British TV game show prizes of the era.
All players that participated won a commemorative crystal saying "I Cracked the Crystal Maze, 199x". This acted as a consolation prize for the vast majority of teams who failed to win the grand prize.

Trying to get 100 gold tokens and no silver is a joke. That's impossible when you've got about 15 seconds max. Probably couldn't even do that if the tokens weren't blowing around.
