Your smartphone becomes the guide, and your kids lead the way. This self-guided walking adventure takes families through Dublin via 12 puzzle challenges and riddles, with a storyline running through the whole thing so children stay genuinely engaged rather than just tagging along. It takes roughly 1 to 1.5 hours and it’s available 24/7, so you can slot it into whatever the day looks like.
You set the pace. Stop for an ice cream, take a break, or pause the app mid-adventure and pick it back up whenever you’re ready. The GPS map keeps everyone on track. Available in German, English, French and Spanish, so language isn’t a barrier wherever your group is from. This is a private experience - just your family or group.
Starting point is Font ornamental. After booking you’ll receive an email with activation instructions and a link. Download the app, create an account, and make your way to the start.
Download the app at your accommodation before you head out. You’ll need WiFi to download and set up, and the starting point might not have great signal depending on where it is in the city. Getting the app ready over a decent connection saves standing around on the street squinting at a loading screen.
The built-in GPS does the navigation. You don’t need to know Dublin or have a separate map app running. The adventure guides you from one challenge to the next, so older kids who like being in charge can genuinely lead the group rather than just following an adult who’s reading a map.
The pause function is real and it works well. If someone needs a snack break, a toilet stop, or you just want to duck into a shop, you can pause mid-challenge and come back to exactly where you left off. There’s no time limit and no pressure.
It’s available any time after booking. If the weather turns in the afternoon and you want to start earlier, or you decide you’d rather do it the following morning, there’s no rescheduling required. Just open the app when you’re ready.
The adventure runs about 1 to 1.5 hours. That’s a good length for most families with younger children - long enough to feel like a proper outing, short enough that nobody’s flagging before the end. If you want to make a longer day of it, the city centre is right there for food and more exploring afterwards.
