Dublin track game
Dublin is a fairly industrial city. Thanks to this Questo track game, we had been able to visit many small atypical and friendly areas of Dublin. I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that our game led you to some of Dublin's unique and charming spots. It’s great to know you enjoyed discovering these hidden gems around the city. We can’t wait to be part of your next adventure!

Such a headache. Wasted precious time on holiday
How much time we wasted. The purchase was much more complicated than need be. Wasted so much time. I regret finding this activity
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear about this. We understand your frustration and we'd like to understand better what happened, please send us an email at care@questoapp.com and we will help you accordingly. Thank you for your feedback.

Great Craic
A really good adventure, had a lot of fun. Just the right length and nothing too taxing. I liked the mix of the crazy fictional story line and discovering bits and pieces about Dublin as we went along.
Response from the operator: Thanks very much for your time sharing your experience. Our content team and writers are very creative and always making sure that you'll have fun. Hope you can try our other games soon!

Great fun
Great fun, it was my second game with Questo. We discovered places we never heard about even if we already live in the city centre of Dublin. I really like that the information about the different spots is just enough to be interesting without being overwhelming. I recommend 100% if you're curious and like to walk around
Response from the operator: Great to see that you enjoyed exploring Dublin with Questo. Thank you for sharing your review. Hope to see you explore more games with us. We are grateful

Very nice
Interesting layout to some popular and other unpopular streets around Dublin. The walk was quite long and at times can be a little confusing without your map open but overall a good day out!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback with us. We are constantly improving our games based on what our players say, and we to see you playing more games soon.

The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game cost?
+
Prices start at $7 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game?

Included: Full flexibility: start at any hour, take a break at any time and resume later; This tour is always available to book. We are open 24/7, every day of the week; Free for KIDS; and Play offline: you DON'T NEED an internet connection to play this city game. Not included: A physical tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
The game starts at Teeling Whiskey Distillery. After booking, we'll message you a code and activation link. Activate with your own email, then log in to the Questo app with that email. No message? Open the Questo app. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game?
+

Is The Dublin Incident: Alien, Whiskey & Clues Exploration Game wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
