A good time walking about Dublin - A friend and I decided on a whim to complete the challenges. Was challenging enough to keep our attention! We did the game at night so safety was a concern, but not an issue. As advice; after you're done, make sure you know how to get back to your place of stay, and take the main roads back.

Brilliant to see Dublin City - Brilliant game to do, we have done two of the games now and loved walking around town doing them and learning while getting the steps in too. We also stopped in pubs along the way. Like a little bar crawl.

Ghostly brain teaser - It was a puzzle, an adventure and a group or solo activity all at once with the interactions of ghostly history what more could you ask for in Dublin

Had a blast! - Had a great time! Honestly, this is a lovely and cheap way to explore the city and visit many cool places. While you can play 24/7, recommend you play before sunset or the local parks and churches will be closed. Honestly, best bet before 5pm!

A lot of fun - Yeah I really enjoyed it. The directions were clear which was my number one fear, that I'd get lost, but also the mix of humour and factual Dublin history was interesting. I did it at Christmas as well which added another element to it.

Great time-filler - We were looking for something to fill our time and this was a great fit. A walking tour that gave us a little bit of history was cool. There were four of us and we paid for each of us, which I wouldn't do again since we were only using two phones. However, something happened with my sister's app requiring her to restart it and it didn't fully save her progress, so because it's location-based, she would've had to go back to a certain spot to be able to proceed (which was my only complaint). We just used my phone for the remainder of the game since we were near the end. Still cheap entertainment!

An interesting experience if only a bit confusing - The instructions and app itself could use an update. Some parts of the flavor text were impossible to scroll through, but at least we could listen to them in audio. But the same can't be said for the lack of clarity in the introduction. The first few "tutorial" pages had us confused for what could easily be 20 min - a really bad first impression and a certain way to ruin the fun. Thankfully, we were not an easy bunch to "scare off" and collected our initial elan immediately after the actual ghost hunt started. From there on was almost a perfect experience, app-wise and location-wise alike. The presentation was entertaining and didn't overstay its welcome, but the highlight was the choice of places, we probably wouldn't have ever visited otherwise. The riddles ranged from "too easy" to "confusing" with one being especially misleading. And yet we've had a fun afternoon solving them and brimming with joy when we'd find the puzzle pieces in our surroundings. The hunt is well thought out and the path was easy to follow. We never got lost even though we're not from Dublin. All in all, it was worth the price and a unique experience. An easy recommendation even with the "balancing issues" of the riddles and the "confusing tutorial section".

Great concept, poor execution - The concept and the information on the haunted locations were great, but there are many bothersome things that need improvement. Firstly, it said you don't need wifi after downloading the tour, but after we went to the startpoint only the ones, that had a sufficient internet connection could play. Furthermore, quite often we had the right solution but the app didn't accept it unless it was in all uppercase/lowercase or with an additional space ect.
