A facilitated offsite escape game for 100 people costs SGD 2,300 on Standard, about SGD 23 a head, before any venue or admission fee. Most other corporate team building formats in Singapore land somewhere between SGD 20 and SGD 150 a head, and where you fall depends mostly on headcount and on whether the activity needs a kitchen.
That is the number. The rest of this post is about getting it approved, which is usually the harder part.
How to read team building prices in Singapore
Team building prices in Singapore are quoted two ways, and the two are not comparable. Some vendors charge a flat rate per pax. Others, including us, charge a fixed fee plus a per-pax rate, so the per-head figure falls as the group grows. A “from SGD X per pax” headline almost always assumes a large group, so ask which headcount it was priced at. Then check GST. We are not GST registered, so the price quoted is the price paid. A GST-registered vendor adds 9 per cent, and hotel packages marked ”++” add a 10 per cent service charge before that.
What an offsite escape game costs, from 10 to 1,000 pax
An offsite escape game from The Escape Artist costs SGD 300 plus SGD 20 per pax on Standard, or SGD 1,100 plus SGD 20 per pax on Immersive. Here is that formula worked out for common group sizes. Every figure is the game fee only, before any venue admission or hire.
| Pax | Standard game fee | Immersive game fee | Per head on Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | SGD 500 | SGD 1,300 | SGD 50 |
| 30 | SGD 900 | SGD 1,700 | SGD 30 |
| 50 | SGD 1,300 | SGD 2,100 | SGD 26 |
| 100 | SGD 2,300 | SGD 3,100 | SGD 23 |
| 200 | SGD 4,300 | SGD 5,100 | SGD 21.50 |
| 500 | SGD 10,300 | SGD 11,100 | SGD 20.60 |
| 1,000 | SGD 20,300 | SGD 21,100 | SGD 20.30 |
Both tiers run on MazeFox, our own web app, with one staff host running the game. Immersive adds costumed facilitators stationed around the venue. Four games run on Immersive only: Journey into the Unknown, Race to Infinity, Code of Silence and Tea Party with the Mad Hatter. Pick one of those and the Immersive column is your price.
The per-head figure falls because only the SGD 20 is per head. The fixed fee gets divided across everyone, so the same game costs SGD 45 a head for a team of 12 and SGD 22.50 a head for 120. If your group is small, the fixed part dominates, which is worth knowing before you decide that large-format activities are expensive. At 12 people they are. At 120 they are among the cheapest things you can run.
Our minimum is 10 pax, and Lost Treasure of Sarang Rimau, played across Fort Siloso on Sentosa, takes up to 1,000.
Venue charges: the line that is not ours
A venue admission or hire fee is the one cost on an offsite escape game that the venue sets, not us, and some venues charge nothing at all. Total cost is the game fee, plus an admission fee where the venue charges one, plus a venue fee where the space is hired. By venue:
- Admission per head: the Oceanarium on Sentosa, home of Heart of the Ocean. Everyone needs an entry ticket.
- Exclusive hire, admission included: the Battlebox at Fort Canning, home of Code of Silence.
- Depends on your group: the Asian Civilisations Museum, home of Artefact Temporis. Singapore citizens and PRs enter free; visitors pay.
- Neither: Fort Siloso on Sentosa, Chinatown, VivoCity at HarbourFront, the Singapore Maritime Gallery at Marina South Pier, and your own office.
- The meal: Tea Party with the Mad Hatter plays at your dinner and dance, so the meal is part of your own booking with the venue.
Amounts depend on the venue and the date, so the proposal states them. Anything arranged through a third party is passed on at cost.
If a vendor gives you one blended per-pax figure, ask which of these sit inside it. The answer changes the total more than the choice of activity does.
Cost per pax by format, compared
Corporate team building in Singapore usually costs between SGD 20 and SGD 150 a head, and the format decides most of where you land. Only the first row below is a published rate. The others are indicative bands drawn from public Singapore listings in October 2026, before GST, and any one vendor can sit outside them.
| Format | Typical group | SGD per pax (indicative) | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offsite escape game (ours, Standard) | 10 to 1,000 pax | SGD 50 at 10 pax, SGD 23 at 100, SGD 20.30 at 1,000 (exact) | Admission or hire at some venues |
| Walk-in escape room | 4 to 8 per room | SGD 25 to 50 | Peak hours; past 16 people you need several rooms |
| Laser tag or archery tag | 10 to 100 pax | SGD 20 to 40 | Arena hire; groups play in batches |
| Telematch or games day | 30 to 300 pax | SGD 25 to 50 | Field or hall hire, emcee, inflatables |
| Amazing race or city trail | 15 to 300 pax | SGD 30 to 60 | Staff per checkpoint, attraction tickets |
| Craft workshop (terrarium, candle, leather) | 10 to 100 pax | SGD 30 to 80 | The materials people take home |
| CSR activity with a build or donation | 20 to 200 pax | SGD 40 to 130 | What gets built and donated |
| Cooking challenge | 10 to 80 pax | SGD 50 to 150 | Kitchen stations, menu, the sit-down meal |
| Dinner and dance (D&D) game segment | 100 to 500+ pax | A flat host fee, on top of a dinner from about SGD 90 to 150 a head | Emcee, prizes, sound and stage |
Two rows need a note. A D&D game segment is usually priced as one fee for the host or games master, so it barely moves the per-head cost at 300 pax; the dinner is the big number, and hotel packages are quoted before service charge and GST. And the cheaper end of the amazing race band is usually a self-guided app trail, with nobody from the vendor on the route.
For the formats themselves, our 10 team building games, sorted by group size goes through each one with its catch.
Half day or full day
Most corporate team building in Singapore is a half day, and most of the days that overrun were sold as full days.
Our games run 90 to 150 minutes, and most run 120. Add a briefing, travel between the office and the venue, and a meal, and you have a comfortable half day with slack in it. Stretching that to a full day usually means bolting on a second activity, at which point you are running two events and paying two fees.
If you have been given a full day, spend the second half on food and unstructured time rather than a second paid activity. Teams talk to each other over lunch. That is the part they remember, and it is the cheapest hour of the day.
What to put in the approval email
The version that gets approved first time is short and answers the objections before anyone raises them. Something close to this:
What: [activity], [date], at [venue]. Who: [headcount] pax from [teams]. Total cost: SGD [total], which is SGD [per head] a head. No GST; the vendor is not GST registered. What that covers: the game fee, plus [admission fee / venue hire / nothing else] at this venue. Why this one: [one sentence tied to something real, e.g. everyone plays at once, so the whole department is together rather than in shifts]. Payment: [deposit] on confirmation, balance on [date]. If numbers change: final headcount confirmed by [date]; each person above or below changes the cost by SGD [per-pax rate].
The last line does the most work. Approvers are rarely worried about the total. They are worried about the total changing after they have signed.
Two things to check before you commit
Does everyone play at the same time? Above about 30 people, this is the question that decides whether the day works. Some formats run everyone in parallel. Others rotate groups through one arena, one room or one kitchen, which makes the day longer and leaves half the group waiting. Both get sold as “suitable for large groups”.
Is the minimum headcount real? Ours is 10. Plenty of operators quote a low per-pax rate that only exists above 50 people, so if your team is 15, ask for the actual total at 15.
The Escape Artist has run escape games in Singapore since 2013 and now runs them entirely offsite, at venues such as Fort Siloso, Chinatown and the Asian Civilisations Museum, for 10 to 1,000+ pax. Our quote calculator works out the game fee for your exact headcount, tier and game, and tells you whether that venue adds an admission or venue fee, so you can paste a real number into the approval email today.

Questions people ask
Is there GST on top of team building prices in Singapore?
Not on ours. The Escape Artist is not GST registered, so the price quoted is the price paid. A GST-registered vendor adds 9 per cent, which turns SGD 45 a head into SGD 49.05 and can tip a budget that was set as a round number. Any admission fee or venue hire arranged through a third party is passed on at cost and may carry its own GST, which the proposal shows separately.
Should a team building approval request show the total or the cost per pax?
Lead with the total, then give the cost per pax. Approvers sign off on totals, and a per-head figure on its own invites a debate about whether the activity is worth it. Put both on one line, for example SGD 2,300 for 100 pax, which is SGD 23 a head, and say exactly what the total covers: the game fee, plus any admission or venue charge.
What happens to the team building cost if our headcount changes?
On a fixed fee plus per-pax price, each person added or removed before the final headcount date moves the game fee by the per-pax rate, which is SGD 20 on ours. Ask any vendor how late you can change numbers and what happens to no-shows on the day, and put both answers in the approval note, because they are what an approver worries about.
Can we pay for team building through GeBIZ, Vendors@Gov or our own vendor portal?
Yes, with us. Government buyers can procure through Vendors@Gov and GeBIZ, and companies can use their own vendor-management portals. Bank transfer, PayNow and a card payment link also work. If your organisation has to register a new vendor, start that first, because registration is routinely the slowest step in the whole process and has nothing to do with the event.
What payment schedule should go in a team building approval note?
Whatever the vendor has agreed in writing, stated with amounts and dates. A deposit on confirmation and the balance after the event is far easier to approve than one large figure with no date attached, because the approver can see when the money leaves. Ask the vendor for its terms before you submit, so the note carries real dates rather than a promise to find out.
What cancellation terms should we check before confirming a team building vendor?
Get the cancellation and postponement terms in writing before you confirm: what is refundable, by which date, and what happens if weather or a venue closure moves the day. Nobody expects to cancel, but the approver will ask. For outdoor games, ask about rain too. Ours pause the clock at sheltered hold points, and if the forecast is bad ahead of the day we offer an indoor game or a new date.
