Daz Games: PANIC!, new for 2023, stood out as an interactive highlight and an unforgettable experience. Even for those unfamiliar with YouTuber Daz Games, the adrenaline-fueled adventure was thrilling. Guests were equipped with RFID wristbands, which were used to track the collection of various symbols scattered throughout the maze. These symbols, cleverly themed to iconic park logos like the Oblivion spiral and the Smiler's twisted face, were incorporated into the maze's design, adding a distinct Alton Towers touch. Flashing lights would intermittently turn on and off, heightening the tension as guests navigated the maze in search of the next symbol. To collect some of the more elusive symbols, players were required to complete specific challenges, adding an exciting layer of strategy and competition. Racing against the clock to secure the fastest time, the maze not only tested speed but also skill and wit. The theming was nothing short of immersive, with live actors intensifying the atmosphere and keeping participants on edge. While the experience was a blast, we'd love to see this concept return next year with a fresh, in-house theme, further evolving the innovative elements introduced this season.
