immersivestory-driven👻scary

Very cinematic with an impressive scale and a number of nice transitions. A dark storyline told through cinematic cut scenes, one in particular being quite original if somewhat surreal! Has a strong ‘Athens’ vibe with multiple actors and feels edgy in the best way. Good quantity and variety of puzzles throughout with a mix of multi layered challenges and quick wins. More of a psychological thriller rather than an out and out horror although there were a few jump scares and the experience remains intense throughout.

A significant upgrade on the original dream house (at the old venue) this has much more interaction and many more scares! Great moments of misdirection to enhance the scare and brilliantly executed interactions.
Great room to warm you up for Time to Float!

Make this room your reason to visit Belfast, its an absolute rollercoaster ride into the world of IT. The size and scale of the adventure is so much more than most UK rooms and the gameplay goes from interactivity with actors, to down right silly to terrifying in a matter of minutes. 
Forbidden Quest have beautifully recreated the world of IT and put in clever puzzles and tasks, many that require teamwork, as you need to divide to conquer! I've played alot of the Athens scary rooms, and Time to Float is up there with the best of them. 
Its worth the trip to Belfast just for this one room.

Amazing escape room! So immersive and puzzles very clever and engaging. I recommend this game a lot. I loved the range of puzzles. Because it was non linear in parts and there was a crowd of us, we were able to work on different parts of the room at same time. 

Only regret is my friend got a bit excited and hurt her foot so I vacated the room a little early to make sure she was OK. Otherwise I am sure we would have been successful! Really wanted to see how this ended. Might go back again to see if can escape this time!

The best escape room I have ever done! Really well thought out, wide range of puzzles and so much fun! It was so cleverly laid out. The design props were amazing and attention to detail was spectacular. 

The only regret is that I have done it and can't do it again! Thank you, will def be back if you make another room as I've done all your rooms now.

Another intense experience well executed with some fun moments and some puzzles that look simple but it's easy to overthink.

A haunted mansion, an exorcism and some wonderful actor interactions, whilst not up to the standard of "You'll float too" this game is still worth your time.
