Are you Ready ???
That cute little Leprechaun that comes around on St. Patricks Day has a dark side ! There are 13 bags of gold hidden in the jail all you have to do is find them. Sound easy ? Wait, there's more !
In the dark with only a flashlight while being hunted. How does that sound ?
Must be 16 yrs and over. Not for the faint of heart.

There's 3 floors, 150+ jail cells, and countless dayrooms. Can you find all the bags of gold lost while being hunted by a few of our lingering residents?
