Escape Room Experience

The Experience

During a prisoner uprising, you’ve been locked inside a holding cell — and the keys have vanished. As a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary trapped in the chaos, it’s up to you and your team to solve puzzles, search for hidden clues, and find the spare keys that could set you free. But you’ve only got one hour… and the clock is ticking.

Set inside the original cells of The Old Barracks, this immersive escape room combines authentic history with thrilling gameplay in a setting like no other. Whether you’re solving riddles with friends, family, or colleagues, this is an experience that challenges your mind and brings the past to life.
