Save the Groom — Chase the Case Through Sligo’s Streets

CSI Save the Groom is a city-wide, outdoor interactive detective game played on smartphones in Sligo. Teams move through the urban fabric, following clues, locating suspects and decoding puzzles in a timed race to free the groom before the wedding.

Sligo’s vibrant Quay Street sets the stage for an exhilarating urban adventure brought to life by Team Activities. Here, amidst the lively streets and historic corners of Rathedmond, teams embark on CSI Save the Groom — a city-wide interactive detective challenge that transforms a casual stroll into a pulse-pounding investigation. Unlike traditional tours or hikes, this experience blends technology and teamwork, using smartphones as the primary tool to hunt down suspects, decrypt riddles, and crack codes. The clock ticks relentlessly as participants rush to prevent a wedding-day catastrophe by saving the missing groom.

This isn’t just another group game; it’s a strategic race across Sligo’s urban landscape, inviting players to engage deeply with the town’s character and its layout. The compact yet dynamic streetscape provides a perfect backdrop where every alley and corner could hide a crucial clue. Rathedmond itself hints at Sligo’s rich maritime history, poised near the River Garavogue and not far from the bustling port. Players may catch glimpses of local life and architecture embedded with hints of Ireland’s coastal heritage.

Team Activities’ offering stands apart in Sligo’s recreational scene by delivering a socially engaging, intellectually stimulating, and physically light challenge that suits hen parties, corporate groups, or friends craving a memorable bonding adventure. No prior detective skills are required, only curiosity and a competitive spirit.

In a region often celebrated for its rugged landscapes and sea views, CSI Save the Groom opens a fresh way to experience Sligo — turning urban exploration into a playful and thrilling puzzle. It’s part game, part scavenger hunt, and entirely about camaraderie, sharpened minds, and the thrill of discovery on familiar streets with unfamiliar twists.
