- Boris VDublin, Ireland2 contributionsAwesome experience for family funThe escape room experience was awesome, we played the Sherlock Holmes escape room. We had such a great time, the riddles were very interesting and the rooms very well designed with lots of original and intruiging items. Unlike most escape rooms this one had a decent normal price which makes it affordable. You get 60 min to complete it and it was one of the best 60 min of fun. Max as our host was very friendly, clear, kind and informative. We will definitively come again. Thanks for the great experience!!!Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 4 October 2023
- Emma D4 contributionsClever, fun and very enjoyable games!Both rooms we did were very fun, clever and enjoyable! We did Sherlock and Witchcraft and Wizardry as a couple and loved them. The staff are so nice and friendly too (special thanks to Conor for being so welcoming and lovely)! Highly recommend!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 October 2023
- Ambassador6625873 contributionsYou don't want to escape this!!This was my first time trying out an Escape Room and the second one my partner had played. I had wanted to give this a go for almost 10 years (having first heard about it in London in 2014) and my first experience was AMAZING!! It was everything and more! We chose the theme of 'Witchcraft and Wizardry' and we were bouncing on our toes the whole time. Molly, our guide, was fabulous and her enthusiasm was so contagious. If you have the pleasure of having her, the experience is all the better. We've already booked our next one, that's how strongly we recommend it!Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 October 2023
- Gary RCounty Dublin, Ireland2 contributionsIt's Elementary My Dear WatsonFrom the minute we entered Escape Dublin we were made to feel very welcome. Molly had us sign in and passed us over to Max who was our game co-ordinator. The Sherlock room was devilishly difficult but we eventually managed to escape with TEN SECONDS TO SPARE. Max was extremely helpful throughout and we were furnished with a few hints along the way. Thanks Max!! You're a gentleman! Escape Dublin is a great time for any age and we were laughing (and stressing) all the way through the hour. I highly recommend!!!!!Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 November 2023

- CromieJLimavady, United Kingdom10 contributionsExcellent puzzles and great themes.We enjoyed a fantastic visit to Escape Dublin. We opted to do the Sherlock room. It was a really good experience with some tough but rewarding puzzles and some tricky riddles. Megan was a really good host and helped us out with a few helpful hints when required. I do have to say one of our locks was accidentally placed on the wrong box, but it didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the game. We are discussing going back tomorrow to do a different room!Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 February 2024

We had a great time at Escape Dublin. We took children and teenagers the youngest was 10. It took them a while to get into the rhythm of things but once they did they were all over it and really enjoyed. The staff were really helpful and friendly as we did have to look for a few hints!!!!!!! But a great time was had by all. The location is great only a few minutes from Grafton Street

This place was amazing and I am going back and bringing friends. The staff that I was talking with was amazing and realy made us feel welcome. The puzzles feel difficult at times and often you just need to look at them differently (they are often less complex than your first think).
At first, it feels like "what am I meant to do" but once you get the rhythm of the puzzles and the mindset it becomes more fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this place to anyone who is up for a laugh. Going in expecting to feel a bit silly at times will help the experience.

Hey Michael!
Thank you so much for leaving such a detailed review. We love feedback such as this!
If I remember correctly, the 2 of you chose to play our Sherlock game as your first escape room. This can be a challenging room for just 2 players. But as you say, once you get the feel and build up some momentum, it is extremely enjoyable.
We cant wait to welcome you and your friends back for 60 minutes of puzzles and surprises!

Fabulous experience. The escape room Dublin is great. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming and knowledgeable. The game we did was contagion and it was very good… we got out with 6 mins to spare! We were thrilled - as no hints! Given. We will be back to try another room. Highly recommend

Thank you for the game. Sadly, we all left dissapointed in the experience and the poor customer service.
The reception team and game-master lady appeared disinterested from the start, not offering to help with the ambiance of the room or explaining how the game worked to the members of the group who had never completed an escape room before.
The room was overly simplistic, with only two physical rooms to explore. The second room had elaborate riddles that would have been a great addition to the room had we needed to solve them, but the number required for the padlock was highlighted on the riddle page. This significantly reduced the difficulty of the room, and reduced the opportunity for fun and discussion that solving the riddle could have offered us.
At the end of the game, once we asked the game-master lady for the answers to the riddles, she didn't know them and appeared disinterested in the whole process.
After finishing the game in 35 minutes, the game-master lady quickly came in, barely saying "hello" or "congratulations". She opened up the same with our phones and was ushering us out of the room as if she was in a rush to get us out.

It was a fantastic experience with fantastic, enthusiastic and accommodating staff with a well crafted and decorated room. We were in the “Witchcraft and Wizardry” room and nothing felt out of place (in the sense of theme) including myself and my friends. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible however some were slightly tedious as we had it correct but simply had to change something slightly eg: some combination locks. Overall highly recommended for beginners in escape rooms especially considering the price!

Staff were super friendly and really improved the experience. We did the Sherlock room as a team of 2 and finished with only minutes to spare. We were somewhat familiar with escape rooms beforehand but our guide Sean perfectly deconstructed the concept for us and was genuinely invested in the outcome of our playthrough. For us, the puzzles were a perfect challenge and some of them truly made us struggle only to create even more satisfaction after solving them. Sean debriefed us at the end of the playthrough and genuinely connected with us while we shared the struggles and accomplishments of our game. Overall the experience was awesome, we will be going back again soon! Sean was amazing!

Thanks a lot for the awesome review Kevin. I'm so happy that I had such an effect on your experience. Escape rooms can be a personable experience so I'm happy that I could do that!
Delighted ti see you enjoyed our Sherlock room and Contagion. We hope to see you both for our Witchcraft game soon!

We were a group of 8 - Parents and their teenagers, who ranged in ages from 13yrs to 16yrs. We had a great afternoon, I would highly recommend.
The max an escape room can hold is 6, so we booked two rooms - (for the Contagion challenge) we also competed to see which team escaped first, which added to the fun.
The puzzles are really fun.
Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Will definitely return to try the other escape room challenges.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such an in dept review. Playing Contagion head to head is a very popular option here at Escape for larger groups. I am also very happy to hear you thought the puzzles were fun.
Hope to see you again soon for another challenge!

I had an absolutely thrilling time at this escape room! It was a heart-pounding adventure from start to finish. The puzzles were challenging yet solvable, and the immersive storyline kept us engaged throughout. The staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall enjoyment. I can't wait to return for another exhilarating escape room adventure! 5/5 stars!

Bonjour,
Je souhaiterai réserver pour ESCAPE DUBLIN, mais je ne maitrise vraiment pas bien l'anglais. Est-ce incompatible ? Faut-il avoir une bonne maitrise de l'anglais pour cette attraction ?
Merci pour vos retours.
Cordialement,
