Stop 1 Pass by

Welcome to one of the greatest adventures in Dublin! Your journey starts at The National Museum of Ireland, the Archaeology branch. From the Stone Age to the Late Middle Ages, you can find here amazing treasures of gold, viking exhibits and the frightening history of the Bog Men.
If you did not hear about him, then let Questo give you a piece of advice: stay away from the swamplands! Check your surroundings to find the answer to the question, and who knows, you may find the way to defeat this ancient creature!

Now you are headed to the Theobald Wolfe Tone statue, which is more than a bronze structure losing its shine over the decades: it has a story that brings the statue alive and impresses each visitor from Dublin.
We are talking here about the founding father of Irish republicanism. By 1791, Tone and others formed the Society of United Irishmen, a revolutionary movement aimed to overthrow the British rule in Ireland and pave the way to independence. But his actions were put to an end when he was captured by the British forces and later on, he died in mysterious circumstances. You are now here summoned by his spirit to discover the case of his death, so don’t waste your time and rise to the challenge!

We continue our journey to St. Ann's Church - a spectacular place of reflection and piety, located right in the heart of the city. This is the place where many famous people were baptized or got married, such as Oscar Wilde or Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.
But everything has a silver lining, and churches make no exception. Immerse further into your quest to see which dark story St.Ann’s Church will disclose.

4

After saying our prayers, it is high time we lightened up a bit in the Olympia Theatre! Moving in the crowd, feeling the thrill and the rhythm of the music, you look up and find yourself at one of David Bowie’s concerts. Or is it an iconic representation of Charlie Chaplin? These are the kind of fantasies Olympia Theatre awakens in travellers.
Look around you to find the missing clue, unlock this venue’s mystery and advance to the next checkpoint!

Stop 5 Pass by

Welcome to the City Hall! Located on Parliament Street on the city's southern side, it is a marvelous example of the Georgian architecture for which Dublin is world-renowned. This place vaults the history of the city, from the arrival of vikings to the present day, in the form of an interactive multimedia exhibition. And what else to be expected from the most viking city in the world?
Check the place because we are sure the vikings left a hidden message somewhere!

Stop 6 Pass by

Now that you reached the final destination, get acquainted with the majestic river Liffey that runs through the heart of Dublin, separating the North and the South parts of the city! Whether you like to cruise down the Liffey or walk along its banks, you will certainly come across some impressive buildings and sceneries.
Rest assured, the challenge doesn’t lie on the bottom of the river, it may be right next to you! Find the last piece of the puzzle, so you can become a Dubliner and a real Questo explorer!
