About Treasure Hunt
The Dublin City Council St. Patrick’s Festival Treasure Hunt offers a fun, free and accessible experience for everyone. Participants will follow an exciting trail through Dublin, visiting some of its most beautiful and historic locations while solving clues along the way. This interactive urban adventure invites teams to tap into their adventurous spirit, work together to crack a series of clues and experience Dublin City in a truly unique way.
There will be two options a short route (which will take approximately an hour to complete) and the full route (which will take approximately 1 hour 30 minutes). Separate prizes will be awarded for each category.
These times are a rough guide and assume you move straight through the trail — but we encourage you to take your time and enjoy the hunt by exploring the cool and interesting locations each clue takes you to. You might even stumble upon some performances and surprises along the way! To save time on the day, participants are encouraged to register online in advance. Teams can include up to four people.
Following feedback from last year’s participants, this year Treasure Hunt will not be timed. All teams that complete the hunt before the finishing time of 4pm will be entered into a raffle to win our fantastic prizes, with plenty of spot prizes also up for grabs on the day including best dressed team and best team name.️
