Eyre Square Galway: walk and solve

Eyre Square is a square in Galway that you can see during both featured walking games. Its open setting offers a different perspective from the doorways, house fronts and other places on the routes. Pause to look around before returning to the phone, and compare what different companions notice. This helps the sightseeing become a shared conversation alongside the game itself. The activity connects several city places through a continuing purpose, while your group decides when to move on. Plan any extra visits independently and leave additional time if your day includes more than the walking game and its story.

Secrets of Galway passes Eyre Square during a mission to join Síofra and recover her lost Claddagh ring. Along its route you see the Browne Doorway, Lynch's Castle Corner and the castle plaques. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Galway also passes the square, giving you an investigation described as going from Eyre Square towards the Spanish Arch and Long Walk. Its route also includes the Hall of the Red Earl. Choose the ring mission if that fictional goal appeals to your companions, or the detective case if you would rather keep discussing an investigation as you explore the city on foot together.

Secrets of Galway runs in the browser on your own phone with no app, while the detective game uses the free Loquiz app. Both cost €19.95 per team, take 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Select the story and device before beginning and make room for everyone's ideas during play, even if one person reads the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, with validity for 12 months. Leave time separately for other Galway plans so the self-guided activity remains one flexible part of the outing you arrange with your companions.
