It was super fun and a good way to experience a part of the city.
Thank you so much for your review! Even if the mystery managed to stay one step ahead this time, we’re so happy to hear you had a great experience 😊 Exploring hidden corners, enjoying the walk, and getting immersed in the story is all part of the adventure. Regs. Rasmus
Collected the package, booklet looks good, but unfortunately is quite difficult to understand and is out dated in some of the questions. It's okay for a 2hr walk around the city centre
This Scavenger Hunt was challenging but a lot of fun. I was with friends and broke into two groups to compete against each other. We didn't use google maps or any type of online help, which added to the challenge. I don't know when it was made, but the clues are not entirely accurate right now. This lead to some confusion, but nothing we couldn't figure out. It was a cool way to see the city!
Literally the biggest waste of time, went as a couple to get out and enjoy the sun. Poorly written book, only need to pay for 1 person no matter how big the group is just one person go in to pick it up. Hard to follow and absolutely disappointing and frustrating. The story is not interactive or exciting and honestly should be maximum 5€ if someone really wants to do this, there are far better tours and experiences in the city, don't waste your time
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our Dublin Self-Guided Murder Mystery Tour by Temple Bar. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the experience. We understand your concern about the group needing only one booklet. We recommend one booklet for up to four participants as we have found this ratio keeps everyone engaged and involved. Our extensive testing has shown that this setup maximizes participation and enjoyment for all members of the group. However, we acknowledge that this might not suit everyone’s preferences. Your feedback regarding the interactivity and excitement of the story is also noted. We are continuously working to improve our content and will take your comments into account to enhance the overall experience.
Great time exploring the area around Dublin. Take a break at a pub to think over the clues towards the end of the mystery. Enjoy!!
This was so exciting! I didn't really know what I was going to expect, but this was amazing! The riddles and clues in this self-guided experience was well thought out and difficult enough to be fun! One of the few thing I definitely want to recommend people going to Dublin to try out!
We found this mystery walking tour and thought it would be fun to explore Dublin. We had so much fun trying to solve the true crime case.
Firstly you only need to buy one and secondly the book is very difficult to follow. Gave up very soon into it. Done similar before so was very disappointed
This was a unique way to discover different parts of Dublin, but it could be better. It rains constantly in Dublin, making the paper guide impractical. A digital guide, perhaps one with GPS guidance to the different spots would have been helpful. My kids had fun, but the clues were very hard and confusing. We often gave up and skipped ahead. The concept is great, but the delivery could be better.
Der Megan, thanks a lot. We will try to improve the mystery in the future if you can help us. Pleas e-mail here: contact@solveamystery.com
I LOVED THIS! Especially looking after hidden symbols and clues in the cityscape I would otherwise not have noticed AND Trinity College is so beautiful and just walking around with this mystery as a purpose, made me actually walk around and explore the city, which I otherwise probably wouldn't have the same way if not. I highly recommend!
