A Deep Dive into the Experience

This activity is based in the heart of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, precisely where many of the Game of Thrones scenes were shot. It’s a private game, so your group won’t be mixed with strangers, making for a more relaxed and personalized adventure.

The Starting Point and Introduction

Your journey begins with a warm welcome and an intriguing wooden book sealed with five padlocks. This setup immediately hints at mystery and adventure, setting the tone for what’s to come. The host (Iva Pavic) will explain how the game works, including the significance of the book and padlocks. Once briefed, you’re free to go—and that’s when the real fun begins.

The Puzzle Format and Locations

Over seven locations, you’ll encounter puzzles that require logic, map reading, and environmental interaction. Each lock you solve reveals the next destination, guiding your route through the winding streets and alleys of the Old Town. It’s like a treasure hunt with a storyline — your mission to change the ending of Game of Thrones by navigating politically charged, perilous King’s Landing.

One reviewer praised the game for being accessible: “The tests are not complex, but require interacting with the environment,” which makes it suitable for most ages and skill levels. The game’s design encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and a bit of humor, with playful references to characters like Tyrion and Jon Snow.

The Experience on the Ground

As you move from one site to another, you’ll encounter clues tied to Dubrovnik’s iconic sights, from ancient walls to scenic squares. Expect to climb some steps—an inevitable part of exploring the narrow streets. The game’s outdoor setting means you’ll enjoy fresh air and scenic views, rather than being confined to an indoor space like a traditional escape room.

What’s Included and What to Bring

The experience includes soft drinks, which is a nice touch for staying refreshed during the game. The activity is relatively affordable at $47 per person, especially considering it’s a private, interactive activity that lasts around an hour or more, depending on your pace.
