The experience
About this quest
Explore the center of Singapore, the Bukit Timah district. Marvel at the blending of bustle and tranquillity, modernity and tradition, and see how Singapore puts the jungle in "concrete jungle."
Whether it's the unassuming Serene Centre, the regal Chinese High School Clock Tower, or the futuristic Poh Ming Tze temple, learn about the rich history behind them and get a glimpse into the future. Are you ready to take a trip through time?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Residents, expats and families with school-age children get just over two hours of Bukit Timah heritage, from Serene Centre and Adam Road Food Centre to Adam Park and Poh Ming Tse Temple, with a puzzle at each stop. Local-history and WWII fans will want Adam Park on the route. At 3.8 km of daytime walking, it is a stretch for toddlers, and anyone who wants a live guide to question should book a guided tour instead.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at Botanic Gardens MRT Station and finishes at the Hwa Chong Institution Clock Tower Building, so it is a one-way route. Along the way you pass Cluny Court, Serene Centre, Adam Road Food Centre, Adam Park, Shelford Road Park, the Bukit Timah Overhead Bridge and Poh Ming Tse Temple.
Are there fixed tour times I need to book?
No. There is no guide and no group to join, so you start whenever suits you. The app leads you from stop to stop on your phone and tells the story of each place. It is best played during the day.
How long does it take?
Most players take just over two hours to cover the 3.8 km route, walking and puzzles included. You can pause at any point, for example for a meal at Adam Road Food Centre, and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, it is recommended for families. School-age children who can manage a 3.8 km walk will get the most from it, since the puzzles ask you to look closely at what is in front of you. Very young children may tire over two hours on foot.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so friends or a family can follow the route, hear the stories of each stop and work through the puzzles side by side.
