The Big Escape – Kilkenny is a brisk, city‑wide interactive game that drops teams into a staged casino heist. Over 90 minutes players follow a smartphone GPS map, meet a pre‑filmed crew of characters and work through puzzles and codes to gain access to the casino, breach the safe and make a timed getaway.

THE STAKES

A High‑Tempo, Time‑Bound Heist

You have 90 minutes to complete the scenario — from meeting the crew and accessing the casino to blowing the safe and making your escape — with a final 15‑minute window to get away with the loot.

THE CITY GAME

Smartphone‑Led, City‑Wide Navigation

The experience is driven by a GPS map on your smartphone: teams locate and rendezvous with Dan Rooney’s crew and follow on‑map prompts through the sequence of puzzles and scenes.

THE CAST

Meet the Crew — Jack Potts, Wheels and the Hackers

The scenario populates the route with distinct characters — an inside man, a getaway driver and a lineup of safe‑crackers and hackers — delivered as pre‑filmed encounters that guide your progress.

The Big Escape is kinetic and collaborative: small teams follow a GPS route, meet staged crew members, solve puzzles and enact a casino heist under the pressure of the clock. It’s equal parts scavenger hunt, escape room and street theatre, compressed into a 90‑minute sprint.
