Customer Reviews
Me and my fiance had a great time today definitely recommend if you go to Belfast Stephen was ana amazing help, such a fun activity to do
Had a great experience with my son and partner. Really fantastic rooms with clever puzzles and great fun. Wish I knew the name of the young woman who welcomed us in and got us sorted for going into the rooms. She was a breath of fresh air, so incredibly friendly and welcoming. All staff seem very friendly and helpful. Makes a huge difference to some other places.
