Scavenger Hunt around Dublin City

crazytealeaf

Hi all,

A friend has a group of 8 friends over from Liverpool for a weekend soon, their first time in Dublin or Ireland, and I have decided to make them a kind of Scavenger hunt around the city for a Saturday activity that wont only involve drinking around temple bar. Its a group of girls in their late 20's, willing and up for anything.

I'm sure there are a few companies already organizing these for tourists, and I've come across a few old threads on something similar but I'm hoping to make as current as possible.

Reckon the starting point would be with them all renting a Dublin bike for the day, so they can get around most of the city easily. Maybe give them an egg that they have to return in one piece at the end.

The starting list of Items I have for them to gather is below. Any additional ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Reciept from
Auinger Danger Donut
Supermacs
Most interesting item you can find in Dealz
The 7D cinema
A shot in Panti Bar

A Guinness in Keoghs

Isn't the Phil Lynnott statue moved at the moment? You could replace that with James Joyce ?

A Photo with Oscar Wilde (Merrion Sq park).
A photo with a Garda - probably harder than you think! Outside Government buildings is a tip though

super idea by the way.
Hope you get the weather for it!

Thank You!
Will update the original post as we go along.

I have also included a link to a public map of all the items in case anyone else wishes to use it!

Ham and cheese toasted sandwich from Grogan's instead of Supermac's?

Great idea.

What about buying something in (say) Donnybrook Fair on Baggot St?
Tourists rarely get to see that neck of the woods, and going up the canal on bikes be very scenic.
