About this quest
Follow Seán and Diarmuid and a small group of rebels through the streets of Dublin as you try to reach your brothers in arms to take part in the Easter Rising, perhaps the most famous rebellion in Ireland's rich history.
The game takes place across multiple iconic locations in Dublin, including O'Connell Street, Trinity College, the General Post Office (GPO), and other key sites of the Rising.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
History-minded visitors and travellers with Irish roots follow two rebels, Seán and Diarmuid, through the streets of the Easter Rising, past Trinity College, the GPO and St Stephen's Green. At around half an hour and 3 km, it suits couples and friends who want a compact taste of 1916. If you want a historian on hand to answer questions, or prefer a museum indoors, pick something else.
