Escape Boats are based on a barge in Grand Canal Dock, in Dublin City. Enjoy a challenging and immersive environment as your team attempt to escape the boat by solving puzzles, cracking codes, uncovering mysteries and escaping the perils of the Zorg Ella barge. Escape Boats consists of two games, SOS for two to six players or Convicts for two to ten players. Games are suitable for families, friends, visitors, hen and stag parties, or corporate clients.

Games last for one hour, but if there are more than 16 players, consecutive games can be scheduled so teams are timetabled over the course of 2 or 3 hours. Escape Boats partners with a local bar and restaurant and can arrange finger food and entertainment in between games.

Children aged 12 yrs to under 18 yrs must be accompanied by an adult. If there are children under 12 years of age, please let the company know in advance. If a group consists of all under 18s, please make this clear when booking. Pre-booking is essential, please book online at least 24 hours in advance.

The Escape Boats is located on the barge Zorg Ella in Grand Canal Dock. The entrance is via the Waterways Ireland main door.
