The show was intended to be a remake of the programme Fort Boyard, invented by jacques-antoine. Nevertheless, the unavailability of the collection of this show led British producer Malcolm Heyworth to reinvent the show, with themed zones as a means to continue to preserve the show visually fresh.

A group of six contestants participate in a series of challenges so as to win"time crystals". Each crystal gives the team five seconds of time inside"The Crystal Dome", the centre piece of this compilation where the contestants participate in their own final challenge.
