Frequently asked questions
What is Ghosts of Dublin all about?
You’re a writer with a deadline—and no good story. One night, Wolfe Tone himself visits your dream with a warning: Dublin hides more than history—it hides spirits. Now it’s up to you to chase ghost tales across theatres, colleges, and alleys to piece together what haunts Dublin.
Is this good to do in Dublin with kids?
Yes—but best with older kids who like spooky stories. Some scenes are ghostly and atmospheric, which might freak out little kids. If you go earlier in the evening, it tends to feel safer and more fun for families.
Could this be a romantic idea for travelers?
Totally. Walking through historic Dublin at dusk, solving eerie riddles together, hearing whispered stories in dark alleys—it sets a mood. It’s not your usual dinner date; it’ll be more memorable.
Is it good for solo travelers or groups too?
Is it good for solo travelers or groups too?
When’s the best time to play?
Dusk or after dark is perfect for the full haunted feel. Daytime works too if you’d rather keep it a little lighter.
