Lynch's Castle Corner Galway: walk and solve

Secrets of Galway takes 1.5 to 2 hours and includes Lynch's Castle Corner on its route. The Browne Doorway comes before the corner in the listed stops, followed by Lynch's Castle Plaques and St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church. In the fictional story you join Síofra to recover her lost Claddagh ring, described as a magical symbol of love, loyalty and belonging. Follow the phone-led game between these points and share your ideas when there is something to solve. The game runs in your own phone’s browser with no app needed. It gives friends or a couple a shared thread through their city walk.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Galway is a detective game on foot, from Eyre Square down to the Spanish Arch and the Long Walk. That route gives your investigation a different frame from the ring search around the castle corner. Work through the fictional murder case with your own team, choosing this story if you enjoy considering possibilities and discussing evidence together. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the experience at your own pace. You use the free Loquiz app for this game. Pick the route and storyline that interest your group, then set aside the time to follow that particular outing.

A Galway game costs €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players sharing one phone. First agree whether you want the ring search or the murder mystery, since the phone setup differs between them. Then find a day when everyone has enough time for the walk and discussion. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game is valid for 12 months. Families, friends and colleagues can all use the small team format to spend time together outside. Let different people suggest answers instead of giving the whole activity to the person holding the phone. The decisions are something you can share.
