Crystal Maze Phonebox?!

    Has anyone else seen this and can they shed some light on it...

    There's a phonebox at stephens green (near the luas stop) that has been made to look like crystal maze 'dome'. On either side of it there are clear boxes containing silver and gold 'tokens' that are being blown around and the crystal maze music is playing from it.

    I think it's been there all week (or the last couple of days anyway) but I haven't seen anyone in it...

    Has anyone else seen it or am I going crazy!? What's it for?! So tempted to go into it but afraid I'll end up on some cheesey hidden camera show :P

    Sounds like one of the Engage art pieces.

    Thanks for that... such a great idea!

    I think it's working... I loved the crystal maze :D

    That sounds really cool, any chance you could take a pic the next time you're going by?

    There's one beside the wooly jumper shop down by Trinity. They painted the backdrop of the phone box over the front of it so if you look at it from a certain angle, its meant to look like the phone box isnt there, if you know what i mean.

    They even have a paint line leading over to a little bollard that you're meant to sit on for the correct angle.
