This game was so much fun and a really good laugh playing with my wife on this immersive, original and vast online escape room. Really enjoyed our eureka moments when the penny finally, dropped with certain puzzles. Absolutely fantastic.

 Lot of fun and challenging puzzles set in a beautiful ruin in Ireland. Gave me a chance to see a sight I otherwise would not be able to, and to solve some good puzzles. The puzzles were challenging but did not require a genius to finish. Overall a lot of fun set in a cool place. Looking forward to morel

We were lucky enough to be invited to test out the latest digital offering from Online Escape Rooms Ireland, and we were delighted with what we found! 

Spirit Seekers is not an adaptation of an in person game, in fact, the game takes place in reall life ruins in the idyllic Irish county side! The game uses 360 images captured inside the ruins, and has a fairly vast map area to explore! 

The game has a bit of a creepy atmosphere without being overly scary, so it's still suitable for families or those of a nervous disposition. 

Through your exploration, you'll need to unearth 4 pieces of evidence of paranormal activity, and what better what to achieve this than vy solving a few puzzles on the way! The puzzles are a lovely mix of classic puzzles and drag and drop puzzles with a couple of tricky puzzles thrown in for good measure. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what Online Escape Rooms Ireland creates next!

Cool game in a beautiful setting. Personally I prefer games with a bit less ground to cover (more compact game area), but you couldn't argue with the historical setting and cool ruins. We loved the tour. Puzzles were nice but we would like to have seen the inventory being more visible and easy to access. 

Tech worked well - this is a game built on telescape. 

While I would recommend the other games by Online Escape Rooms Ireland first, this game also scratches the escape room itch.

My husband and I played this game together online today and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We have played several online escape rooms now and we thought Spirit Seekers was great. The use of a real location of the Abbey was a brilliant setting and we enjoyed getting to explore the area virtually even though we're in a different country to where the game is based. There was a wide range of puzzles in this game and they suited our style very well and we had several exciting 'lightbulb' moments and enjoyed the surprises when puzzles were completed! This is well-made online game with a useful hints system when needed. We will definitely be playing their other games soon.

With increasing numbers of digital conversions of physical escape rooms emerging, The Clare Abbey is an innovation that seems obvious in retrospect: why limit yourself to digitising your escape rooms when you can digitise any environment and turn it into a game? This game is set in the historic ruins of Clare Abbey in West Ireland, and uses a set of 360ยฐ views photographed on-site. Hotspots provide close-ups and clues, as well as navigating between locations. You additionally have a very helpful...

Let me explain the concept: The Clare Abbey is a real life location in Ennis, Ireland that has been converted into a virtual escape room experience. You play a team of ghost hunters and you must journey there to solve puzzles andโ€ฆ You guessed it: Catch ghosts!

As a history nerd, this was always going to be appealing to me. Real architectural features are employed and digitally manipulated for puzzles and (presumably) new sections are virtually added too
