Delve into The Dark

AMAZE at W5 invites you to take part in a brand-new science fiction/ scare adventure!

Thrill seekers looking for a spine-tingling adventure, won’t want to miss ‘The Dark’ – a first-of-its-kind scare attraction.

The Story

For many years scientists at the Wellsian Corporation have been working to unlock the secrets of ‘The Vortex’ – an energy tunnel on the edge of reality, and the secret to travelling through time! After making an incredible scientific breakthrough, Wellsian have been sending operatives back in time in a series of successful missions and are now ready to celebrate and share their success with the world.

On the big day, emotions are high and excitement soars as 12 lucky people board the specially constructed time pod and launch into the vortex. But excitement turns to horror, as a mysterious ‘shadow’ in the vortex sends the pod plummeting back to reality, crashing out of time into the shadowy back streets of Victorian Belfast. Surviving the crash, the travelers need to find their way to safety. Unfortunately for them, the pod isn’t the only thing to have escaped the Vortex, something is lurking in the shadows, hunting them…in THE DARK!

What is The Dark?

It might sound like a movie, or a game but The Dark is a live-action, immersive experience. This whole new way of storytelling puts you at the heart of the action. Instead of sitting, passively watching a story, you actually become part of it!

Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, the visitor descends into ‘The Dark’ for an adrenaline-pumping live-action adventure. The experience features a unique blend of live actors, detailed sets, immersive soundscapes, lighting and special effects to create a new ‘total reality’ multisensory experience unlike anything ever seen in Northern Ireland.
