Travel Tips
- Strict access barrier: The physical board is locked behind gates. To actually step inside and throw the giant dice, you must pre-book a paid group reservation and hire an official referee well in advance via their non-profit site.
- Footwear red line: The Guinness board is crafted from custom engraved stone. Stiletto high heels or metal cleats are strictly prohibited inside the gaming perimeter.
- Break-in hazard warning: Parking on the perimeter road is a hotspot for window smash thefts. Stow away all accessories, loose change, and empty bags into the trunk before leaving.
