Hen Parties in Belfast. Not the Usual at Prison Island.
Someone’s getting married. Everyone’s got an opinion on the hen do.
The group chat’s been going for months, the numbers keep changing and somehow you’re the one expected to pull it all together.
We’ve got the fun part covered.
At Prison Island Belfast, we’ve got four activities under one roof. Competitive games, UV-lit axe throwing, puzzles, podiums and plenty of opportunities to find out exactly what your mates are made of.
No awkward icebreakers. No standing around wondering what’s next. Just a proper afternoon or evening out with your favourite people.
Less organising. More getting stuck in.
ARE YOU READY?
31 challenge rooms. Teams of two to five. That’s Prison Island.
Split the hen party into smaller teams and get moving. You’ll take on physical, mental and skill-based challenges, collecting points as you go.
Some rooms are all about speed. Others need a bit of strategy. And some will have you questioning how a group of grown adults can make something so simple look so complicated.
There’s no standing around waiting for your turn. Everyone’s involved, everyone’s got something to contribute and there’s always another challenge around the corner.
And with our new Levels system, even the friends who’ve been before have something new to figure out.
MAKE IT PERSONAL.
Quiz Boxing takes the usual quiz night and gives it a serious upgrade.
Six podiums per arena, fast-paced rounds and buzzers that let you steal, block and double points. It’s part quiz, part game show and very easy to get carried away with.
Choose from our different quiz themes or make things a little more personal.
We can create a customised round featuring questions about the bride, the hen party or a few stories that probably should have stayed in the group chat.
Who knows the bride best? Who remembers that night out? Who’s about to discover they’ve been telling the same story differently for ten years?
You provide the questions. We provide the craic.
And with two arenas available, we can accommodate hen parties of up to 36 players.
THROW SOMETHING.
Axe Yard Interactive. Real axes, UV lighting and 15 digital games.
Not your standard axe throwing session.
Our dedicated axe coach will get everyone comfortable with the technique before you take control of the games.
Go head-to-head at Tic-Tac-Toe, take on Connect Four or work your way through the other interactive challenges.
You don’t need to have thrown an axe in your life. In fact, it’s probably more entertaining if nobody has.
With five lanes available, it’s a solid addition to an adults-only hen party in Belfast, especially if your group fancies doing something a little unexpected.
CRACK SOMETHING.
Think Box brings 12 puzzle boxes and around 80 locks into the mix.
You’ve got an hour to work through codes, clues and challenges that demand a bit of teamwork.
It’s less about rushing around and more about figuring things out together. Although there’s always someone who’ll insist they’ve solved it before they’ve even read the instructions.
Split into smaller teams, get stuck into the puzzles and see how far you can get.
A good choice for groups who love an escape-room-style challenge but fancy something different.
ONE VENUE. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY.
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Most of our groups combine activities rather than choosing just one, and for a hen party, that makes a lot of sense.
Start with 90 minutes of Prison Island, move into Quiz Boxing, or swap the podiums for a session at Axe Yard Interactive. Add ThinkBox if your group likes a puzzle.
You can build an afternoon or evening around the activities that suit your group, with pizza and drinks available between sessions.
And because everything’s under one roof, you’re not spending half your hen party checking Google Maps, chasing taxis or trying to work out where three people have disappeared to.
We’re open late, seven days a week, so whether we’re the first stop on your Belfast hen weekend or the main event, there’s plenty of flexibility.
YOUR GROUP. YOUR CALL.
A few close mates or the full hen party. The competitive ones, the quiet strategists, the people who take absolutely everything too seriously.
There’s room for all of them.
Our activities work for different group sizes, and we can help you put together a combination that makes sense for your numbers, timings and budget.
You don’t need to be particularly sporty, know every quiz answer or have any experience throwing axes. The whole point is getting everyone involved.
So if you’re looking for unusual hen party ideas in Belfast, indoor group activities or something different from the standard hen do package, you’ve got options.
Four of them, actually.
THE GROUP CHAT CAN RELAX NOW.
You’ve found the activities. You’ve got the venue. You can make a full afternoon or evening of it.
All that’s left is getting everyone to agree on a date.
Good luck with that.
