Hey guys, sharing something seriously cool, and I couldn't wait to spill the tea with all of you. If you're ever wondering, "What to do in Singapore after 8 PM besides makan or hit the bars?" – especially if you're a tourist looking for something truly unique, or a local just bored with the same old routine – then listen up!

I recently tried this absolute gem called "Mystery Shopping (Escape the Truth or Treasure?)", It's like a new escape room experience in Singapore and seriously, my mind is still buzzing. This isn't your usual escape room, guys. Imagine this: you're heading into the legendary Tan Boon Liat Building. Now, if you know, you know – this place has got that vibe. It's an old industrial building, a bit rugged, maybe even looks a little abandoned from the outside (which just adds to the mystique, trust me!). It's not your typical gleaming mall, and that's precisely why it's so awesome.

The coolest part?

This is, to my knowledge, the first-ever game in Singapore to operate till midnight right inside a retail shop in an old building like this! How epic is that for a late-night activity? You go in thinking you're just "shopping," but then you stumble upon a secret, and suddenly you're following clues, solving puzzles, and uncovering a hidden narrative. It's so immersive and just… different.

And for all my tourist friends, or even locals who hate travelling to obscure places – the location is a dream! The Tan Boon Liat Building is literally just beside Havelock MRT station. Super convenient, no need to get lost trying to find it.

(Btw you know it's the safest MRT station right? Because it "have lock" and you need to come here to unlock it! Haha.. Ok lame jokes aside...)

So, whether you're a visitor looking for that authentic, slightly off-the-beaten-path Singapore experience, or a local who's done all the usual late-night spots and wants something fresh and exciting, you absolutely have to give "Mystery Shopping" a try. It’s perfect for a unique date night, a fun outing with your kakis (friends), or even if you just want to challenge yourself.

Trust me on this one, it’s a total blast and a true hidden gem that deserves to be explored.

Don't just take my word for it – go experience the mystery yourself!
