MONOPOLY: HIDDEN Singapore - Katong-Joo Chiat

Arrived at The Eco Club for collection and showed the Chinese lady boss my Klook qr code but she told me she doesn’t know in an annoyed tone. She was pretty unfriendly but I eventually figured out that we should scan the QR code at the entrance. Entire activity was interesting exp except it was really hot. Bought 1 ticket for 2 of us means our Monopoly money was only 1 set, but it was more than sufficient and made sense to use just 1 phone for the activity. We bought 2 x dumplings (100M), 1 x iced americano (50M), 1 x VN drip coffee (150M). Paid for the tea with 10% discount from spin and win. Took a few detours since we were exploring the area so took almost 3hr for the entire route.

এটি একটি খুব মজাদার এবং উপভোগ্য চ্যালেঞ্জ ছিল যা অন্বেষণ করার মতো। এটি মনোপলি বোর্ডগেম খেলার মতোই, তবে আপনি আসলে আপনার ফোন ব্যবহার করে কাটং-জু চিয়াটের চারপাশে হেঁটেছেন এবং হোয়াটসঅ্যাপের মাধ্যমে সমস্ত নির্দেশাবলী অনুসরণ করেছেন। আপনি কাটংয়ের ঐতিহাসিক এবং সাংস্কৃতিক জ্ঞান সম্পর্কে অনেক কিছু জানতে পারবেন। পথিমধ্যে, আপনার কাছে লুকানো রত্ন সুবিধা পাঠানো হবে, আপনার পছন্দের যেকোনো অংশগ্রহণকারী দোকানে যাওয়ার জন্য কেবল লিঙ্কগুলিতে ক্লিক করুন, হয় ডিসকাউন্টযুক্ত দোকানের জিনিসপত্রের জন্য চান্স কার্ড ব্যবহার করতে, অথবা বিনামূল্যে পানীয়ের বিনিময়ে মনোপলি ক্যাশ ব্যবহার করতে।

I enjoyed learning about the history of Joo Chiat, it’s not just about the buildings but the life and lives of people who go to places like the Red House to matchmake. To contrast the present, we are brought to an interesting silkscreen-printing micro shop inside Katong Plaza where we chatted with its artist-owner too. I like the concept of buying food using Monopoly money! That added a really fun element. I have decided to try other monopoly trails at other locations too after this.

It was a nice experience seeing & learning more about JooChiat/Katong culture & heritage. Kids & I had fun figuring out the answers to progress on in the Monopoly game via WhatsApp. However, clearer instructions could have been given for a start for players so as to prevent wasting time moving off to a wrong route. The Monopoly money can be used to redeem food/drink/items at various “shops” listed in the QR code given which users should take note at the start. 1 adult ticket entitles to 1 goodie bag given upon completion & 1 monopoly red packet (monopoly $ + chance card) given at the start, as a family it’s not necessary to purchase tickets for everyone. Overall, it was a good family bonding session.

দারুণ মজা! জু চিয়াটের ঐতিহ্য সম্পর্কে জানার এক অভিনব, সৃজনশীল উপায়। আমরা এলাকাটি ঘুরে দেখতে, নতুন ব্যবসা আবিষ্কার করতে এবং অংশীদারদের কাছ থেকে খাবার ও পানীয় উপভোগ করতে পেরে আনন্দিত হয়েছি। এই অ্যাডভেঞ্চার থেকে আমরা যা পেয়েছি, তা এক দারুণ প্রাপ্তি! আমরা ইতিমধ্যেই HIDDEN Holland Village অভিজ্ঞতার জন্য ফিরে আসার পরিকল্পনা করছি - অবশ্যই সুপারিশ করব এবং আবার আসব!

I really enjoyed it! it's set for 1.5 hours but we took around 3. Very informative about the area and some of the shops we stopped in. The riddles were fun, pushes you to really search the area/read the texts around you. I do wish they would let you know which shops are closed on the map cause a couple of the shops on the list were closed on Monday when we went. Overall i enjoyed it! definitely recommend the Iced Tea at Durman Food Hall :D

I love how it went overall but the weather is super hot to be walking around without any stops that are indoor, we hope that there are stops where we could spend the money while playing instead of just spending all at the last point (pros and cons I guess cuz we did enjoy having a cold drink in the end). It was fun overall, hopefully there's something new I can try next time!

Such a fun way to explore East Coast and Joo Chiat’s history! Took us a while to get the hang of the game (and the hints weren’t always helpful 😅), but we figured it out in the end. Great experience and even better family bonding time ❤️

It was a fun experience. Went as a family and it was good bonding time and also, to get to know the area better. Was able to redeem things from the local shops with the monopoly money.

check in and out at the same location. suggest to scan and identify all the places where the monopoly dollars can be used at the start of your journey. the places where the monopoly dollars can be spent might not appear as a “check in” spot during the game.
