Ⅰ
On your own
Your Hundred, your record.
The Dublin Century · Edition One
Don’t just visit Dublin.Learn it on foot.
One hundred adventures written for one city — its streets, its water, its table, its rooms and the talk that happens in all of them.
Every adventure is numbered. Record each one in your digital Passbook. Complete the Hundred and become a Centurion of Dublin.
The Adventures Wheel
What shall we do today?
Dublin is learned on foot, and most of what you learn comes from somebody talking.
Some mornings, the best thing you can do is hand the day over.
A bridge over the Liffey. A page nine hundred years old. A table set for supper before the theatre. A snug at the end of the night.
On any morning without a plan, a spin of the Wheel names the adventure, and the spin is honored.
The Hundred
A hundred ways to know this city.
From the Liffey to Howth Head and Killiney Hill, explore all one hundred adventures in your digital Passbook or optional printed edition.
Cross the Ha’penny Bridge.
Read one page of the Book of Kells.
Stand for a whole song from a Grafton Street busker.
Get caught in the rain without an umbrella and keep walking.
Sing for Molly Malone on Suffolk Street.
Sit in the Long Room and say nothing for a while.
Stay to the last song in a proper session.
Read the Proclamation where it was first read.
Ask a Dubliner what the city was like when they were young.

The Adventure Passbook
It comes back different.
Card covers. A hundred ruled lines. A place for the date and a place for whoever signs.
If you choose a printed Passbook, it becomes a handwritten diary of your Century: a ticket stub, a Grafton Street receipt, and signatures from people who shared the adventures.
That is the thing you keep.
The Hundredth
Then you are a Centurion of Dublin.
The printed edition adds seven ink stamps and a final embossed seal to the record you keep online.
Your completed Century becomes part of your permanent record. A printable Testimonial recognizes your achievement; a physical coin is optional.
Complete the Hundred. Become a Centurion.
Die-struck in antique silver, without enamel or applied color. It cannot be bought.

Your book never expires
Nobody finishes in a week.
And nobody is meant to. Half of these adventures ask for a booking, a season, a ticket or an hour on the DART before they begin. Take as many trips as it takes.
Your Century, in digital and print
Your entry into the Dublin Century.
The digital Passbook holds the Hundred, rules, and your completion record. An optional printed edition adds a book for signatures and memories. Both follow the same Hundred and rules.
The Hundred and the rules
One hundred adventures in seven categories, each one graded, with the rules of play inside the back cover.
Your record
Your digital Passbook records your completed adventures. The optional printed edition adds space for dates, signatures, and personal memories.
The Companion
Your issued Passbook number opens the Wheel and your digital record. Digital-only participants receive access without purchasing a printed book.
Playing on your own
Each adventure explains what counts. Record completion digitally; if you carry a printed Passbook, add a witness signature and ask a Keeper for its stamps.
Someone to ask
Does this count? How do I start? What does this one mean? Those questions go to the Keeper, or to the Century Concierge: Ask the Keeper.
When you finish
Complete the Hundred and your digital Passbook is sealed. Your Centurion recognition and printable Testimonial are complete without a physical purchase. A printed Passbook and commemorative coin are optional.
Be first in line.
The Dublin edition is not on sale yet. Put your name down and you will hear the day it is.
Tell me when this Century is availableThe Adventure Passbook

The optional Centurion coin
Antique silver, with your name entered in the Book of the Centurion.
Each separately completed Century adds to your Centurion honors. After your fourth, you qualify for the Keeper’s Coin in antique gold finish. Physical coins are ordered separately.
