Old Town Dublin: Famous Pubs Quest

Treasure Hunt: Dublin's Famous Pubs

What secrets are hidden in the streets of Dublin? One of the most enjoyable ways to discover its exciting history is through this fun-filled adventure quest of Dublin's famous pubs.

This walking treasure hunt has 11 stops in Dublin's historic centre. Along this self-guided 2.5-kilometre (1.5-mile) route, which will take you between 1 and 1.5 hours, you'll have to test your detective skills by solving riddles and codes and answering questions. These clues will be sent to an app installed on your mobile phone.

The route starts at The Brazen Head pub. From this iconic pub, you'll head towards other emblematic establishments in the Irish capital such as The Temple Bar. The route concludes at another well-known venue in the city centre, the legendary Toners pub, where you'll have to solve the last clue.

What is the Story of the Quest?

The story of the quest is as follows: you'll take on the role of William, a young man who has just arrived in Dublin to investigate his mother's mysterious Irish lineage.

Throughout his childhood, William has always heard rumours about his mother's family's involvement in the Irish rebellion of 1798. Now that he's in Dublin, the young man finds that these rumours are true.

During his journey through the Irish capital, the boy will have to solve different challenges, based on clues he finds in the different pubs of Temple Bar, a well-known district of Dublin located on the banks of the River Liffey.
