The Spirit Seekers Ireland need your help again! There have been reports of paranormal disturbances coming from "The Clare Abbey" (the ruins of an old Abbey in the countryside of county Clare). It is up to you and your team to find four pieces of evidence of a supernatural occurrence taking place in the Abbey and deliver the evidence to a famed professor at the local college. All while searching around the location you might come into contact with some malevolent spirits that might just wish harm upon your team. Can you find the evidence and come back in one piece for the professor?

"Spirit Seekers Ireland: Episode 1 - The Clare Abbey" uses an interface that is easy to work with and navigate around. Walking around the ruins of an old, crumbling abbey that was painstakingly photographed gives players an experience they might not get otherwise. The game consists of the basic search and find around the area until you grab the item you are looking for in order to use it in the right location. In this game though, really pay attention to the places that are not in the forefront, for it might just harbor a spirit that you have been searching for.
Walking around the Abbey can get confusing, but thankfully there is a map that is separated into numbered squares that not only helps team communication, but also gives fast travel by clicking on the numbers. In each area as well, are transparent numbers meant to help you identify what location you are in or where something is happening.
As you progress through the game, make sure to check your inventory for items that may be of use later on in the game. The inventory is a little chest that will store everything that you've picked up and shows you the four items that are needed to obtain evidence with.
This game is a spooky game with a couple of minor jump scares. It does a good job hiding the ghosts in plain sight that keep you a little on edge while playing but doesn’t detract from the overall experience.

The puzzles in this game consisted of some physically based solves, observational conundrums, and auditory thinkers. They provided a good mix between each of these types that is sure to cater to all enthusiasts and casual players alike. Finding your way through the Abbey is even a puzzle in itself, with its grid-like design areas that can seem to blend together. This doesn’t stop Online Escape Rooms Ireland from creating puzzles into the story world that can feel at place and be engaging with the players. One particular puzzle involving an auditory component was quite unique and gives a good example on solves that can excel at completion using a virtual medium.
