MONOPOLY: HIDDEN Singapore - Katong-Joo Chiat

Vam arribar a The Eco Club per a la recollida i vaig mostrar a la propietària xinesa el meu codi QR de Klook, però em va dir que no en sabia res amb un to molest. Era bastant antipàtica, però finalment vaig entendre que havíem d'escanejar el codi QR a l'entrada. Tota l'activitat va ser una experiència interessant, excepte que feia molta calor. Vam comprar 1 entrada per a 2 persones, la qual cosa significava que els nostres diners Monopoly eren només 1 set, però va ser més que suficient i tenia sentit utilitzar només 1 telèfon per a l'activitat. Vam comprar 2 x dumplings (100M), 1 x americano gelat (50M), 1 x cafè VN drip (150M). Vam pagar el te amb un 10% de descompte de la ruleta. Vam fer alguns desviaments ja que estàvem explorant la zona, així que vam trigar gairebé 3 hores a fer tota la ruta.

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.

Discover new places in Joo chiat and Katong that I never knew they existed through this self-guided activity. If not for the SG culture pass credits, the price is considered slightly expensive for a self-guided activity. surprised to have free tote bag and monopoly keychain as gifts when you complete the activity!

I love the game..it's mixed history, storytelling, riddle game, fun, culinary, culture, etc..i looks forward to try another Monopoly game in different places

Love the novelty of the game and the flow of activities. The activity gave the opportunity to learn the culture, history and background of the place and also the chance to explore places that we would miss out.

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.

首先这个绝对是3小时完成不了的，我大概花了一个下午，其次如果是中国的朋友要顺畅的使用whatsapp需要你连上当地的wifi或者在当地再用梯子翻墙才可以顺利使用（这个我也是耗费了很多时间）不然会加载不出图片。最后这个游戏是好玩的，但是请大家注意天气，我当时玩的时候太晒了，给我晒懵了，又一直在太阳底下找线索，所以如果可以，选一个没那么热的天气玩吧

even though I am a local who has walked Joo Chiat Road, I found the game interesting and fun. I liked learning the history, the ‘grandfathers’ who gave the roads their names, the challenges, the murals, the play of words - like turtle square, double chin… those who have done this walk would know. my friend and I could 3h enjoying the sights.

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

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 ❤️
