NQ64, Digbeth’s popular arcade bar, have announced they will be launching their first adults-only Laser Quest experience from 16 February.

The experience will see NQ64 expand their already popular Birmingham site into the basement of the Zellig building.

Described as ‘an intense boozy battle to save planet earth, where nostalgia meets the future’. NQ64 promises an out-of-this-world experience that will leave you buzzing long after the lasers have dimmed.

NQ64 Laser Quest is available to enjoy with up to groups of 16 players per game, focusing on the theme of an ‘alien invasion in a dystopian future’. The concept has been designed to offer guests a nostalgic adult-only experience in a bar environment.

Guests will be able to access the experience through NQ64 Birmingham, which will be closed from 4-8 February for a refurbishment which will add additional games to the already massive selection, extra seating, a photobooth, and a larger wrap around bar for guests to enjoy. The Laser Quest site will also offer a drinks list of specially selected craft beers, cocktails themed around alien invasion films, wines, spirits, and sodas.

Founded in 2019 in Manchester by Andy Haygarth and Matt Robson, NQ64 is a neon graffiti-covered drinking den where guests can enjoy retro arcade games and classic consoles alongside a curated list of game-themed cocktails and craft beers, accompanied by a classic hip hop playlist.

NQ64’s sites are filled with nostalgic and classic arcades and consoles sourced from across the globe, including fan-favourites such as Pac-Man, Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, Time Crisis and Point Blank, with SNES, MegaDrive, Gamecube, Xbox and PlayStation on the console lineup.

NQ64 Laser Quest will open in Digbeth from 16 February. Bookings are now available here.
