Frequently asked questions
What’s the creepiest stop in this ghost walk?
Probably Crumlin Road Gaol. The old jail, with its stories of nooses and past inmates, gives off a heavy vibe. Also don’t miss Clifton Street Cemetery—walking among ancient graves by lantern-light is unforgettable.
Is this game best played after dark or will it work in daylight?
After dark really pumps up the tension—shadows, streetlight, cooler air. But daytime works too, especially if you’re with kids or want clearer views. Every hour gives a different feel.
How spooky is it? Will kids get scared?
It leans more towards eerie than horror. There are ghost tales, tragic history, atmosphere of suspense, but nothing super graphic. Older kids and teens tend to enjoy it. You can pause for breaks if someone needs a rest.
Do I have to reserve or join a guided group?
Nope. It’s self-guided. Just download the game in the app, show up at Carnegie Oldpark (46 Oldpark Rd), and begin whenever you like. Morning or evening, you decide.
Will I be alone in the ghostly storyline or is it more group-friendly?
You can totally do it solo—it’s atmospheric and immersive even by yourself. But with friends or family, the mystery feels more fun: sharing theories, spotting odd signs, and maybe even getting spooked together.
