About this quest

Dublin, Ireland. A peaceful morning. Just you, your garden, and a hot cup of coffee… until an alien spaceship crashes into your rose bushes. Out steps Borty—a bug-eyed, fly-like creature in a spacesuit—begging you to guide him to the Teeling Whiskey factory. Why? He won’t say. But time is ticking.

Join this hilarious and out-of-this-world quest through Dublin’s streets, solving quirky puzzles and following strange clues left behind by Borty’s malfunctioning tech. This isn’t just a walk—it’s an intergalactic mission wrapped in local charm.

Grab your friends or family, get your steps in, and make unforgettable memories while helping an alien complete his mysterious mission through the heart of Dublin.

The mission: Your story in Dublin

You’re just standing at the back door of your house, enjoying a cup of coffee in your dressing gown, looking out over your beautiful garden, when of course an alien spaceship has to crash land in the middle of your roses and ruin your day.

The hatch door of the saucer ship opens, and a humanoid form steps out. As he gets closer, you can see his big orange bug eyes and his resemblance to a fly... in a spacesuit. He points his ray gun at you.

I’m Borty,” he says. “Can you take me to the Teeling Whiskey factory? I haven’t much time. Please.
