Crystal Maze

Player notes

• ◆The name comes from the British game show The Crystal Maze, which was popular in the 1990s, as well as presumably the fact that a streetname for meth is crystal.
• ◆The house explosion scene is similar to the house explosion from the I Am Number Four film.
• ◆Trevor walking away from the explosion in slow motion is most likely a reference to the popular film cliché where characters are depicted leaving the scene of an explosion unfazed by the destruction behind them.
• ◆It could also be a reference to "Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions", which is a soft rock song dedicated to the aforementioned film cliché.
• ◆In the trailer, Trevor ignites the gas with a molotov cocktail, while in the artwork he uses a Dippo lighter, but in the game, it can only be ignited by shooting the gasoline trail, unless the player has molotovs. The player can throw them at the trail or through one of the windows to start the fire.
• ◆As Trevor enters his Bodhi or some other vehicle, the radio will be tuned to Los Santos Rock Radio or Non-Stop-Pop FM. Trevor will comment on this, angrily stating that the music is "...all fucking wrong" before switching to Channel X. If the radio in Trevor's vehicle is already tuned to Channel X or turned off; however, Trevor will not make a comment. He also will not comment if the mission is replayed.
• ◆This is one of three times in the GTA series that a protagonist will change the radio station on their own. In GTA Vice City, Tommy Vercetti changes the radio in the mission Publicity Tour after the bomb is defused. In GTA IV, Niko Bellic would also do so by turning the radio off in That Special Someone after dealing with Darko Brevic.
• ◆Arriving to the farmhouse in an air vehicle will cause a cinematic view from the air before the cutscene of Elwood telling his family to defend the lab.
• ◆This is the first time the player is required to use the jerry can in the storyline.
• ◆If the player shoots the jerry can instead of picking it up while inside the meth lab, an unlimited number of explosions will occur, surpassing the duration of Trevor's special ability.
• ◆If the jerry can is detonated using a sticky bomb (as it is unlocked after Friends Reunited, the mission must be replayed in order to have access to the bombs), the same will happen, although the house will be destroyed as normal.
• ◆If the player returns to the house after Trevor torches it, they will catch fire. However, they will not be able to roll the flames out and Trevor will continue to burn until he dies.
• ◆If Trevor returns sometime after the mission, the house will revert to normal, as if Trevor never did anything to it. This is presumably an oversight.
