The field guide

Team-building activities in Singapore, for teams that do not fit in a room.

Most team-building ideas quietly assume a group of eight. When you are planning for 40, 400 or a thousand, the options narrow fast. Our own answer is a facilitated offsite escape game, run at a Singapore venue for 10 to 1,000-plus. We have been running them since 2013; below is how the real choices compare, and how to pick one.

A retail escape room is great for six friends. It cannot absorb a department, let alone a company. A facilitated offsite game runs the same experience in parallel across hundreds of people, which is the whole point when the brief says "everyone".

From a wildlife park in the north to a WWII bunker under Fort Canning, every game is grounded in a real Singapore place. Browse the full set, or tell us your group size and we will match one.

Good questions

Team building 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.

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.

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.

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.
