The premise is simple and genuinely fun: Oscar Wilde has lost his creative spark and needs your help to get it back. Using your smartphone and GPS, you’ll explore Dublin’s streets on foot, uncovering hidden corners and passing through landmarks like College Park, the O’Connell Monument, the River Liffey, Christ Church Cathedral, and St Stephen’s Green.
Along the way you’ll solve puzzles, answer riddles, and take on photo challenges to earn points and unlock the next clues. You can pause the game at any point and pick it up again later - there’s no guide to keep up with and no fixed schedule. It works well as a solo wander, works well in pairs, and scales nicely to a group. It’s also a solid option if you’re looking for something a bit more active for a team-building day.
No app download needed, no host to wait for. Book, get the email with your unique game link, and start from College Park whenever it suits you.
This is a private tour. Conducted in English.
Charge your phone fully before you start. GPS and a live browser link running together drain a battery faster than most people expect, especially on an older phone. A portable charger is worth throwing in your bag if you have one - it means you can stop for a coffee without worrying about your game progress.
College Park, the starting point, is inside Trinity College’s grounds. You can walk in through the main Front Gate on College Green - there’s no charge to enter the grounds themselves. If you’re arriving by bus or Luas, Dame Street and College Green are the closest stops. The Tara Street DART station is also a five-minute walk.
The game takes around two hours, but it’s flexible. If you want to pause at Christ Church Cathedral or sit by the Liffey for a while, you can. The pause function is there for a reason, and Dublin’s city centre has enough to look at that taking your time between clues is part of the experience.
Wear comfortable shoes you’d actually walk in for two hours. The route covers central Dublin on foot across a mix of cobblestone, pavement, and park paths. St Stephen’s Green’s paths are easy enough, but Temple Bar-adjacent streets can be uneven underfoot.
The Oscar Wilde connection isn’t just a gimmick. Wilde grew up in Dublin - his childhood home is in Merrion Square, a short walk from some of the game’s landmarks - and the puzzle narrative draws on real aspects of his life and work. If you pick up on references that seem specific, they probably are. The game is a good way to absorb Dublin history without it feeling like a history lesson.
