Playing the sleuth in new 'escape room' at revamped Singapore Discovery Centre

SINGAPORE - Visitors to the revamped Singapore Discovery Centre can now role-play as special agents investigating the fate of soldiers sent on a top-secret military mission.

But the centre will open other facilities progressively, partly to ensure crowd control and that other Covid-19 safety measures are implemented properly, SDC executive director Joseph Tan said. The gallery tells the Singapore Story from the 14th century till the present day, highlighting key events such as the Japanese Occupation, Konfrontasi, and the 1983 cable car tragedy.The other half - which will focus on more contemporary issues - is scheduled to be ready in the middle of next year.

More on this topic "The Covid-19 story is still evolving, but by the middle of next year we would have been able to curate enough interesting stories." To ensure there is no overcrowding, visitors are encouraged to make prior bookings online for facilities that require entry tickets, such as the escape and laser tag rooms as well as the gallery.

A new cafe called Wild Thyme replaces the former canteen. Board games are also available in a partnership with the Mind Cafe.
