Kerry’s first live escape rooms open in Killarney
E
Escape Killarney, Kerry’s first live escape game, has opened its doors down Bohereencael Glebe. The novel indoor activity, which is the brainchild of local pair Frank Ryan and Philip O’Connor, challenges groups of 2-6 people to solve a series of clues and get out of a room before time runs out. It’s a real test of cleverness and teamwork but, most importantly, it’s tremendously good fun.
“You get locked into a room for 60 minutes (or less if you can get out beforehand),” Philip explains. “You have to solve clues, and puzzles and ciphers to try and find your way out. Hopefully you’ll have a bit of fun along the way.
“The reaction so far has been really positive. We can see and hear everything while people are in there and they seem to be having a good few laughs. There are a few arguments over codes and things like that alright! But it’s all about teamwork and working together.”
What’s actually in the rooms and what the games entail are shrouded in secrecy. At the moment, Escape Killarney has one room with another being prepared to open in the next couple of weeks.
“You can only do each room once really because when you know the answers, you know the answers,” Philip said. “The transient tourist market will be our recurring business, but hopefully all the locals will come down and check it out and give us a go.”
