What is the quest?

Every shop holds a clue. Every corner hides a secret.

Imagine Drogheda's streets as one giant puzzle — your team racing the clock to unlock the town's hidden gems. Gems of Drogheda Quest is a gamified adventure from Drogheda City Now that celebrates local businesses while bringing the community together for an afternoon of fun, competition and discovery.

A family with curious kids, a group of competitive teens, or adults after a different kind of day out — the quest works for all of them.
