Forbidden Quest - Escape Games Belfast

Belfast
What it’s like
Four themed escape rooms in Belfast, from a zombie outbreak to a haunted dream house, all booked in advance.
Four different rooms to pick from here, and they're not variations on the same puzzle box. The Collector and Dream House 2.0 lean into a spookier, more atmospheric build, while Time To Float and Zombie Outbreak 2.0 sound like the ones a group of older kids would beg to do first. Each room has its own story and its own set of puzzles, so if you've got a family that likes escape rooms already, this is somewhere you could book two different sessions on two different visits without repeating yourselves.
Booking ahead is the only way in, there's no turning up on spec here. That's worth knowing if you're planning a birthday or a day out around a set time, since you'll want the slot locked in rather than hoping there's space.
Because the puzzles are described as proper escape room challenges rather than a soft-play style activity, this reads as one for kids who are old enough to follow a plot, work as a team and stick with a problem rather than wander off. The zombie and haunted house themes in particular suggest it's built with a bit of tension in mind, which is part of the fun for the right age but could be a bit much for a nervous six-year-old.
Facilities
Plan your visit
How many escape rooms are there?
Four: The Collector, Time To Float, Dream House 2.0 and Zombie Outbreak 2.0. Each one has its own theme and story.
Do we need to book ahead?
Yes, booking is required before you go, there's no walking straight in.
Which room should we try first?
That depends on what your group's into. The Collector and Dream House 2.0 sound like the moodier, story-led rooms, while Zombie Outbreak 2.0 and Time To Float have a punchier, more physical theme.
Is this suitable for younger children?
The rooms are built as full escape challenges with puzzles and plot to follow, so it suits a group that can work together and focus, rather than very young children.
