Escape room games in Singapore. Just not in a room.

Our escape room games run offsite at real Singapore venues, indoors and outdoors: a museum, a WWII fort on Sentosa, a wildlife park, or your own space. Facilitated with hosts and props for groups of 10 to 1,000+, and opened to the public every quarter. Playing since 2013.

Why immersive offsite

The team-building that people talk about the next day.

01

Real human engagement

No screens. Our hosts are physically present and in costume, pulling your team into the story from minute one.

02

Scales with you

Recommended for 10 or more, and proven up to 1,000+. One department or the whole company, on a single date.

03

Two tiers, any budget

Go Immersive with cosplay facilitators, or Standard, self-guided on our web app with one staff host, from around SGD 23 per person for larger groups. Non-GST registered, so no GST on top.

The case files

Pick your game

A growing roster of games, from museum mysteries to island-wide amazing races. All of them are large-scale puzzle hunts underneath. Filter by group size, venue and format.

Outdoor or indoor

An outdoor escape room, without the room.

Four of our games run entirely outdoors, which is what most people mean when they search for an outdoor escape room in Singapore: the puzzles and the clock of an escape game, played across real ground instead of inside a set. Whisper of the Guardians runs through Chinatown's shophouse streets, Lost Treasure of Sarang Rimau across the tunnels and ramparts of Fort Siloso on Sentosa, Journey to the End and Back through Haw Par Villa, and River Lockdown around River Wonders. Three of them take up to 1,000 pax. Together they are what a Singapore HR team usually books as an amazing race or treasure hunt.

Most outdoor escape games in Singapore hand you a phone and let you get on with it. Ours are staffed: costumed facilitators at checkpoints along the route, a host running the clock, physical props and briefings at the start and the finish. That is also why the outdoor games scale. A self-guided app can take any number of people because nobody is watching; we run large groups as small teams released in waves on staggered route orders, so 600 pax at Fort Siloso is a run sheet rather than a queue.

Pricing does not change when you go outdoors. It is the same SGD 300 fixed fee plus SGD 20 per person on Standard, so an outdoor escape game for 100 pax lands at about SGD 23 a head, and SGD 1,100 fixed on Immersive, which adds the cosplay facilitators. What does change is the ground under it: River Wonders needs an admission ticket and Haw Par Villa needs venue hire, both charged by the venue. Fort Siloso and Chinatown need neither. The full price table is below.

The rest run indoors, at a museum, a wartime bunker, a mall or your own office, so a wet forecast is a change of game rather than a cancelled day. Every outdoor route also has sheltered hold points, and rain pauses the clock instead of ending it.

What it costs

Escape room game prices in Singapore, published.

An offsite escape game is priced as one event, not per seat. The game fee is a one-off fixed fee plus SGD 20 per person: SGD 300 fixed for Standard, which is self-guided on our MazeFox web app with one of our staff hosting, or SGD 1,100 fixed for Immersive, which adds cosplay facilitators around the venue. Because only the fixed half is fixed, the rate per person falls as the group grows. We are non-GST registered, so there is no GST on top.

Game fee by group size, for the Standard and Immersive tiers
Group Standard Per pax Immersive Per pax
10 pax SGD 500 SGD 50 SGD 1,300 SGD 130
50 pax SGD 1,300 SGD 26 SGD 2,100 SGD 42
100 pax SGD 2,300 SGD 23 SGD 3,100 SGD 31
200 pax SGD 4,300 SGD 21.50 SGD 5,100 SGD 25.50
500 pax SGD 10,300 SGD 20.60 SGD 11,100 SGD 22.20

Game fee only. Two things can sit on top, depending on the game you pick: venue admission, where the game runs inside a paid attraction such as River Wonders, and a venue fee, only if you need an exclusive space to gather and play. Pick a game that runs at your own office or seminar room and you skip the venue fee entirely. The instant estimate works out your number in about thirty seconds.

Looking for a walk-in room to book by the hour?

Then this is not the right page, and we would rather say so than waste your afternoon. We closed our HarbourFront outlet and now run games offsite only, as booked events for teams of 10 pax and up. For a room you can book for two people on a Saturday, our retail partner Lockdown Escape at Marina Square is the one to try.

What teams say

Reviewed where it counts.

★★★★★

We had a great experience with The Escape Artist. They offered a variety of well-planned packages for us to choose from and were very accommodating with advance bookings. Their briefing was clear and helpful, and everything went smoothly on the day of our event.

The puzzles were mostly logical and very interesting with a good mixture of keys, locks and mechanisms which we enjoyed. The space was also sufficient and clues largely clear enough to proceed. The staff was also very helpful and patient. We had a wonderful experience!

Had a great time with my friends... The team was very patient and walked us through the remaining puzzles that we did not manage to complete after our 1 hour was up. The room itself was great, a lot of details went into the decor and the clues were all in good condition.

Good questions

Offsite FAQ

What is an offsite escape game?

An offsite escape game is a live, facilitated, immersive experience where teams solve puzzles to escape within a set time, held at a venue of your choice rather than a fixed escape room. Our hosts are physically present, often in costume, and the format scales from 10 to more than 1,000 people.

What is the difference between team bonding and team building?

Team building usually aims at a skill, such as communication or problem-solving. Team bonding aims at the relationship, so people leave actually knowing and trusting each other. A facilitated escape game does both at once: colleagues solve a shared case under a running clock, which builds the skill and the bond in the same afternoon.

Is this an escape room?

It is an escape room game, but it does not run in an escape room. Instead of booking a small fixed room for 6 people, we bring the game to a venue: a museum, a WWII fort on Sentosa, a wildlife park, or your own office or function space. Teams play in parallel, indoors and outdoors, which is why the format takes 10 to 1,000+ people while a retail escape room takes 6 at a time. We ran physical escape rooms in Singapore from 2013, so it is the same puzzle craft at a size that fits a whole company.

How many people can take part?

We run games for groups of roughly 10 to 1,000+ people. Our minimum is 10 pax, and we scale all the way to 1,000+. Different games have different maximum capacities, from 50 up to 1,000, so we will match the game to your headcount.

What are good team bonding activities in Singapore for a large group?

For a large group, pick a format that runs the same experience in parallel across many teams at one venue on one day, so nobody sits out. Our offsite escape games do this from 10 pax up to more than 1,000, at venues such as River Wonders, Fort Siloso and Haw Par Villa, or at your own office. They suit company D&Ds, department offsites, conferences and family days.

How much does an offsite escape game cost?

The total is a game fee plus venue admission and venue fees. The game fee is a fixed fee plus SGD 20 per person: Standard, the self-guided option, starts at SGD 300 fixed, and Immersive at SGD 1,100 fixed. Both run on MazeFox, our own web app, and both come with one of our staff hosting the game. The immersive option adds cosplay facilitators around the venue. For larger self-guided groups the effective rate works out from about SGD 23 per person. Admission and venue fees depend on the venue you choose. We are non-GST registered, and large-group discounts are available. Use our instant estimate tool for a quick figure, then we will confirm the details.

Where are the games held?

At venues across Singapore, including River Wonders, Sentosa's Fort Siloso, Haw Par Villa, the Asian Civilisations Museum, Chinatown, Battlebox at Fort Canning and more. Several games can also run at any indoor venue, including your own office or a space we help you find.

Do you run outdoor escape rooms in Singapore?

Yes. Four of our games are played entirely outdoors: Whisper of the Guardians through Chinatown, Lost Treasure of Sarang Rimau across Fort Siloso on Sentosa, Journey to the End and Back through Haw Par Villa, and River Lockdown around River Wonders. They work the way an escape room does, with a story, a clue chain and a running clock, except the ground is a real place instead of a set. Facilitators are on the route in costume, so it is a staffed game rather than a self-guided app trail.

How much does an outdoor escape room cost in Singapore?

The same as our indoor games: a fixed game fee plus SGD 20 per person. Standard is SGD 300 fixed and self-guided on our MazeFox web app with one of our staff hosting, so 100 pax works out at about SGD 23 a head. Immersive is SGD 1,100 fixed and adds cosplay facilitators around the route. On top of that sit the venue's own fees, which for the outdoor games means an admission ticket at River Wonders and venue hire at Haw Par Villa. Fort Siloso and Chinatown need neither. We are non-GST registered, so there is no GST on top.

Which outdoor escape game works for a large group?

Fort Siloso, Haw Par Villa and River Wonders each take up to 1,000 pax, and Chinatown takes 200. Scale is where outdoor games usually fall over, so we run big groups as small teams released in waves on staggered route orders. Every checkpoint sees a steady trickle instead of the whole field arriving at once. Every route also has sheltered hold points, and rain pauses the clock rather than ending the game.

How do we book an event?

It is a five-step process. Choose your game, add any extras such as catering or transport, receive a tailored proposal from our events team, confirm the event, then enjoy your game day. Start by requesting a proposal and we will take it from there.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer (PayNow UEN and a credit-card payment link), government portals including Vendors@Gov and GeBIZ, and company-specific vendor-management portals. We are non-GST registered.

Can we add catering, transport or prizes?

Yes. We can build in catering, transport, prizes, additional activities and more. Let us know what you have in mind and we will include it in your proposal.

How much does an escape room game cost in Singapore?

Ours are priced as one event rather than per seat. The game fee is a one-off fixed fee plus SGD 20 per person: SGD 300 fixed for Standard, which is self-guided on our MazeFox web app with one of our staff hosting, or SGD 1,100 fixed for Immersive, which adds cosplay facilitators around the venue. So a 50-pax Standard game is SGD 1,300, or SGD 26 per person, and a 200-pax Standard game is SGD 4,300, or SGD 21.50 per person. Venue admission and an exclusive-space venue fee can apply depending on the game. We are non-GST registered, so no GST is added.

What is the cheapest way to run an escape game for a team?

Pick Standard rather than Immersive, bring a bigger group, and choose a game that runs at your own office or seminar room. Only the fixed half of the fee is fixed, so the rate per person drops as the group grows: SGD 50 per person at 10 pax, SGD 26 at 50, SGD 23 at 100 and about SGD 21 at 200. Running at your own venue removes the venue fee, and games with no paid attraction attached remove the admission fee.

Is there GST on top of the quoted price?

No. The Escape Artist is non-GST registered, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay. Any venue admission or venue hire arranged through a third party is passed on at cost and may carry its own GST, which we show separately in the proposal.

What is a puzzle hunt?

A puzzle hunt is a timed game where teams work through a chain of linked puzzles, each answer opening the next, until someone finishes the story. It is the same craft as an escape room, without the room: the puzzles are spread across a venue, a neighbourhood or a park, so hundreds of people can play the same game at the same time. Most people in Singapore call it an escape game. Puzzle hunt is the name used by people who play them for fun.

Is a puzzle hunt the same as an escape room?

Nearly. A retail escape room locks 6 to 8 people in a themed set for 60 minutes. A puzzle hunt takes the same puzzle chain outside and runs it for 10 to 1,000 people at once, at a museum, a fort, a wildlife park or your own office. Nobody is locked in, the teams move, and the clock still runs. We built and ran physical escape rooms in Singapore from 2013 before we moved the games offsite, so the puzzles come from the same workshop.

What is a large-scale escape game?

An escape game built for a whole company rather than one team. The puzzle chain is spread across a venue so teams of 5 to 8 play in parallel, released in waves on staggered route orders, with facilitators holding the timing at each point. That is how 600 people at Fort Siloso is a run sheet rather than a queue. Singapore has only a handful of operators running games at this size; we have been doing it since 2013.
