Mystery, intrigue, puzzle solving and surprises: We've got just the thing to get your tweens and teens smiling (and possibly screaming!) in Singapore…
Finding things to do with the kids in Singapore is pretty easy, with so much fun on our doorstep. Indoor play centres? We’ve got plenty. Outdoor activities in Singapore while the sun is shining? Absolutely. But what about that awkward bunch of kids who are way harder to entertain, feed and generally lure a smile from? Yep, teenagers! And we think the best way to get their brain matter firing on all cylinders is with a challenge. Enter the awesome world of the escape room. Throw a bunch of teens (and adults – we tried and loved it too) into a room and make them earn their way out by actually speaking to one another and using some logic…
Why trust this guide?
As a mum of two teens and a six year old living in Singapore for over 12 years, I’m always on the hunt for family activities that we can all join in (and enjoy) together. Escape rooms are a unique challenge that bring the older and younger siblings together and gives all our brains a workout, while also being genuinely good fun. The older kids now head to Escape rooms pretty often with their friends (so this guide is tried and tested and we’re confident these are the best of Singapore.) Escape rooms make for a great rainy weekend activity to keep teens off screens!
TL;DR: Best escape rooms in Singapore for..
- Younger kids: The Tiara Society. A Harry Potter-inspired escape room with kid-friendly puzzles, plus party packages for young witches and wizards.
- Teens: Singapore Discovery Centre. 13 escape rooms across four immersive chapters with physical challenges, hidden doors and plenty to keep older kids engaged.
- Scary thrills: XCape. Creepy horror-themed rooms like The Morgue and Annabelle with eerie atmospheres and jump scares (check age restrictions before booking).
- All-rounder: Escape @ Science Centre (E.S.C.). STEM-inspired escape rooms that combine fun puzzles, teamwork and science, with different difficulty levels to suit a range of ages.
