About this quest

Step into the role of a scientist racing to save Singapore from dimensional collapse in this walking quest through the Civic District and Fort Canning Park.

As reality unravels around you, follow dimensional anomalies through Singapore's most iconic colonial landmarks, from the Singapore River and the Merlion to the silent pillars of the Civilian War Memorial.

Uncover the wartime history of Singapore, the secrets buried beneath its streets, and the stories carved into its oldest bridges, all while chasing a rift that threatens to swallow the city whole.

A literary sci-fi adventure set against Singapore's real history. The city is leaking. You have one chance to close the tear.

Frequently asked questions

Want to escape the usual Singapore sightseeing?

Walk this quest and slip into a sci-fi thriller: trace anomalies across Merlion Park, stare over colonial bridges, and explore alternate dimensions messing with the city’s history. It turns iconic views into puzzle scenes.

I’ve seen the Merlion and Marina Bay—what’s something unexpected to do?

Step into a sci-fi mystery across Singapore’s Civic District. This quest sends you chasing strange “rifts” through colonial buildings, quiet courtyards, and riverside views, revealing stories hidden behind the postcard skyline.

Can friends or workmates turn this into a fun team outing?

Yeah, split into squads or work together to track down the alternations before the “universe breaks.” Compare theories, laugh over bizarre clues, and see side alleys most only pass by. Great for bonding or just messing around.

Will I see Singapore’s famous landmarks here?

Yes. You’ll pass Merlion Park, St. Andrew’s Cathedral, National Gallery, and more—but also explore hidden bridges, colonial structures, and lesser-known stories that locals often skip.

Is this a good idea for a date with a twist?

Yes. Start at Sir Stamford Raffles statue, then follow clues through National Gallery and St. Andrew’s while light fades—a perfect mix of romance, mystery, and dramatic cityscape.
