If you’re on the lookout for a challenge that will have you racking your brains, cracking codes and solving puzzles in minutes, then give these escape rooms in Singapore a go.
Don’t allow the name ‘Trapped Escape Room’ to give you the jitters ahead of beating your captors at their own game. Located at 2 Orchard Link, Singapore, Trapped Escape Room paves the way for you and not more than 9 other friends to work together to solve puzzles and earn your freedom within the 1-hour timeframe. However, be warned that you will need to bring your A-Game as it could mean the difference between life and death.
Staying true to its name, Lost comes across as an immersive and gripping experience that will call for you to be as cool as a cucumber in the face of a daunting challenge staring you directly in the face. Found at the Peace Centre, 1 Sophia Road, Singapore, Lost is one of those escape rooms that must be checked out when on holiday in Garden City. As you scratch your head attempting to search for that all-important clue that will let you out, Lost’s sound effects, ambient lighting together with its doors that are fitted with voice-activated sensors will attempt to distract you and break your focus. For a price tag of SGD 21.90, you really are getting your money’s worth. Why not have your best mates join you?
Want to be in the middle of it all when virtual reality collides head-on with one of Singapore’s most challenging and exciting escape rooms? Then head over to V-Room which can be accessed at the Orchard Gateway, 277 Orchard Road, Singapore. If here with your best friend, then partner up in the company of the multiplayer puzzle game titled Sam & Dan: Floaty Flatmates where you will have to get away from a chasing shark and escape the apocalypse before making it to the safety of your boat. No sooner you catch your breath and gather yourself, you will be confronted with the shooter game called Arizona Sunshine. During this enthralling game, you will be able to choose your best weapon and engage in real-life movements en route to defeating encroaching monsters including blood-thirsty throngs of zombies.
If you ever pictured yourself leading a mission to save the world, then here is your chance while on holiday to Singapore to do exactly that. Set foot inside the Virtual Room where you have the option of choosing between Time Travel Chapter 1 or Time Travel Chapter II which will escort you back in time as part of a 3D cinematic experience. With Time Travel Chapter 1, you will be called upon to solve puzzles that will help you determine what occurred when the Alpha team went missing on their last mission. If you opt for the latter, then you will have your hands full in finding the sources of energy that are capable of fighting off a plague threatening Earth’s existence. As a player, you will have the freedom to manipulate objects equipped with the very latest virtual reality equipment as you attempt to battle looming forces and that too for a per-head starting price of SGD 44. This escape room is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm and can be easily reached by those based at Hotel 81 Lavender which is a hotel near Bugis found under 5 km from the former.
Perfect for mystery hunters and die-hard detectives alike, Escape Hunt is set in the Victorian era and will have you cloaked in the overalls of Sherlock Homes or see to it that you rediscover the joys of reading your favourite Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew book in seconds of entering. Endeavour to uncover chilling truths as you search for clues with a fine-tooth comb but before you dare leave, have a go at identifying Jack the Ripper as part of solving the Whitechapel Murder case.
