Not at all! While we love a good story about Viking foundations and revolutionary heroes, we focus on making history relatable, witty, and fun. If you like lively districts, historic universities, and a bit of a mental challenge, you’re in exactly the right place.

Do I need mobile data on my phone?

Yes, we recommend having a reliable data plan. Dublin is a modern European tech hub, but signal strength can fluctuate when you are deep within the thick stone walls of Dublin Castle or navigating the narrow, cobbled streets of Temple Bar. For the smoothest experience with our GPS navigation and audio narrations, a 4G/5G connection is your best friend.

Don’t worry, we won’t leave you stranded at the Liffey! The interface includes a built-in hint system to help you get back on track. It’s designed to be challenging enough to feel rewarding, but intuitive enough to ensure you keep moving and enjoying your walk through this captivating city.

Absolutely. While you can work together as one team, larger groups often split into smaller units to see who can solve the mysteries of Dublin the fastest. It’s a fantastic way to add a competitive “Play” element to your sightseeing—winner gets to pick the first round of Guinness at a local pub!

The Riddles were good, however you need Exit Games experience to not trust the hints and think out of the box. The hints itself could also be better, e.g. if you have to find two statues for a solution, the location of the statues should be given with the last Hintergrund.

Die Idee einer Schnitzeljad zu den bedeutendsten Sehensw?rdigkeiten ist gut. Leider waren die Anweisungen oft nicht richtig zu verstehen oder zu ungenau. Zum Beispiel sollte man das Alter der auf 2 S?ulen abgebildeten Personen vergleichen. Dann stellt man aber schnell fest, dass es diverse Statuen in der Stra?e gibt…

Unfortunately, we couldn’t do 2 riddles. One church was closed and to solve the riddle we had to go inside (Molly Malone). The second one was the national museum of archeology (building activity). It has a new entrance recently. So we hadn’t had a good view to the building to complete the error search properly…
