Description

Journey through four very different Singapores in this winding adventure through the city's Chinatown, across its thriving Boat Quay, past the grand palaces of its colonial former government and into its towering financial hub. Along the way explore its long, intriguing and sometimes sinister history as a trading port both before and after the arrival of the British in the early 19th century.

Expect to see traditional Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist temples, fascinating sculptures depicting scenes from the city's past, buildings from the early days of the colony, a legendary Victorian food market and a plaza that epitomises the phrase 'modern metropolis'. All this plus puzzles, challenges, a rest-stop at a great pub/cafe and plenty of surprises.

This riddle-filled journey is perfect for anyone hoping to delve into the hotpot of traditions, cultures and influences that have made Singapore the vibrant and diverse city it is today. Experience the city's highlights, history and best-kept secrets like never before!

How It Works

Your team will receive clues on your phones that, once deciphered, will guide you to interesting and scenic parts of the city.

The route is walking distance and features optional breaks at great pubs, bars and cafes along the way. The clues require no prior knowledge and come with hints to make the experience something everyone can enjoy.

If you'd like us to set you up a private live leaderboard for your teams, just ask!
: Maybe. Depending on how busy the route is you might be on the tail of another group, overtaking or getting overtaken. It's a great way to meet other like minded adventurers on the way, don't forget to say hi to each other and get a bit competitive!
: For multiple teams you can start all at once or stagger start times by a couple of minutes - groups organically spread out and overtake throughout the activity. The fastest team may not be the winning group as there are time penalties for wrong answers, a fine balance!
