The Escape Hunt‏ - Escaping a High-Tech Reality Game

Sponsored Post

Are you starting to run out of ideas on where to hang out during weekend or what to do during group outing?

Introducing you a new hangout place where you can have lots of fun playing with your friends “escape hunt” reality game:

The Escape Hunt‏.

The Escape Hunt Experience is a unique adventure based on the classic “escape the room” games now popular in many places around the world. Players are locked in a simple room with objects and feel like being inside a computer game while searching for clues and solving puzzles trying to escape.

Turn yourself into Sherlock Holmes at The Escape Hunt where you are transported back over 100 years and play the part of a famous London detective with your colleagues trying to solve a mystery set in Singapore.

The Escape Hunt‏ is a Global Live Escape Game with more than 20 branches in the world.

The games are designed by a UK mensa member, who has a Masters in Psychology from Cambridge. They are designed in multi-dimensional, and non-linear. Game play follows a strong story line and are logical, instead of random.

Upon  entering, we were being brought to the lounge area before the start of our game. The place was very cosy and vintage classic. It totally feels like we were being transported back to the world of Sherlock Holmes.

We were ready to start our game.

They have 6 rooms at Escape Hunt that is split into 3 different adventures. (Game layout will be changed every 6 months)

Each has an exciting and different theme. Each theme has an entirely different set of puzzles and codes so you can of course come back to play out other room later and still enjoy the experience equally. 

There is also an option for advanced room for those who believe themselves of superior intellect – Put it to the test!

Play as a team of 2 – 5 players & choose from 3 unique games set in 6 indoor rooms.
Each game is 60 minutes per session.

One thing I like about The Escape Hunt‏ is that they do not combine groups with each other. For example, if your group only have 2 players, the room is yours exclusively. They will not combine you with other group to make it 5 players. Not only that, you will also have your own dedicated game master waiting just outside the room if you need any help.

A crime has been committed, and it is up to our group to solve it. Time to use our detective brain to work it out and solve the mystery and escape before the time is up.

At Escape Hunt, slow and steady wins the race simply don't work. To escape, you need to think on your feet - fast! Stand united as a team, or fall divided as individuals. Time is running out...

My experience:

The game was really fun. It got us cracking our brains and think out of the box to find the clues to open the lock. It is not easy to be Sherlock Holmes, we need to think deeply to piece the clues together. Nothing in the game room is placed there by chance, there is always more than meets the eye. 

There is this saying - 3 brain is better then 1 brain. It requires us to work together as a team where there is more opinions and more people to share the load.

Nevertheless, we managed to escape the room with some helps from our game master.

Our adventure did not end here. After our game, there was a photo taking segment where we get dress up in Sherlock Holmes costumes.

With my partner in crime - GF.

With my awesome team.

There were also props for us to pose with too.

After which, we went over to the lounge area for a nice cup of complimentary tea and biscuits. A perfect way to end off the session to have a sip of tea and share our game experience with one another.

Though The Escape Hunt might not the cheapest among the provider, but they provide great value for money as they deliver much better games and customer service than anyone out there.

The Escape Hunt is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year with first game at 10am and last game at 8:30pm.

It is fantastic fun for all ages and ability levels giving you unforgettable memories.

Pricing: 

2 pax @ $38/pax

I love playing "Can you escape" mobile game because it is fun and addictive.  I feel like a detective where I have to find clues and hidden objects to advance to the next floor, and eventually break out of the rooms.

With more and more demands in escape room games, we now get to play the real escape game in reality. Yeah, I no longer need to play the game virtually.

Follow me to Phantom Joker Escape:

Phantom Joker Escape is a real escape game outlet located in the conservation house close to Outram Park.

The phantom joker escape is founded by a group of real escape game enthusiasts who want to present their own inspiration and understanding of the real escape game after trying so many in Singapore and overseas. They were newly opened since 21st Jan 2014.

Super exciting to try out the gaming experience here at Phantom Joker Escape.

We were at the resting area before the we started our game. The outlet has a spacious resting area and a nice decorated terrace. 

If you are there, remember to 'Like' Phantom Joker Escape Facebook Page to redeem your free drink.

You can log in using the free wifi provided.

Shortly after that, the game masters came to brief us about the game procedure. Each group will be given a walkie-talkie. If we need any help during the game, we can communicated with our game masters using the walkie-talkie and they will come in to help us.

The game duration is one hour.

Additional gaming time will be provided as requested if the players are close to complete the mission but are running out of the time.

Phantom Joker presents you Real-life Role Playing Games.

You are no longer going to escape from a locked room, but facing various more challenging missions in a story series. In this story series, you will be role-playing a heroic and intelligent FBI agent, Carl, whose brother Brook is mysteriously lost and trapped in great danger. 

To seek and rescue your beloved brother, you have to sneak into a celebrated biochemistry company at night, unveil unbelievable truth in a suspicious laboratory, explore in a dark spooky alien world or even eliminate the root of sin after time-travelling to old times. 

There are 5 episodes (5 individual rooms) to this story. By completing each game, you will find a jigsaw piece of the story; and step by step after playing all the games, you will put together the picture of the entire story.

You can start with any episode, there is no need to go by the sequence. The game series is designed in such a way that each individual game has its own independency and integrity. 

We got the most popular room:

Episode 01 - Mysterious Lab Lost in Time

A dubious star company 

Housing a mysterious lab 

Where time travels beyond human knowledge 

Hideous dangers 

Emerging from an inconsistent dilemma 

What should I do 

Am I coming back in one piece ...

Wow, each scene is delicately decorated with story line and the room is equipped with variety of hi-tech Machineries. 

We set off with exciting missions with different challenges, it's no longer as simple as finding the  lock and escaping the room. It required us to move around, finding the possible clues and solve the puzzle. 

Together with my team, we managed to complete the mission and solved the quest.

I wouldn't be able to make it without any of them., this is why teamwork is important because it encourages creativity and different opinions.

I highly recommend Phantom Joker Escape for team building/corporate event.

Are you a lover of shooting game?

If you are, this post is definitely something you cannot miss. 

Today, I will be introducing you a very cute and fun game that allows you to allows you to create your very own unique avatar:

Avatar Star.

AvatarStar is a Multiplayer Online 3rd Person Shooter sporting a highly appealing cutesy game design with a large emphasis on player character customizability while the core gameplay has players going head to head against each other in a variety of quintessential game modes such as Team Death Match, King of the Hill and Domination.

AvatarStar is completely Free to Play and will not cost you anything to download, install, and enjoy the full core content of the game.


You can take a look at the official trailer here.

After we installed and logged into AvatarStar, the first thing we need to do is to create our first Avatar where we can create the character of our dreams.

There are 3 playable classes (Gunner/Guardian/Asssasin) that we can choose from according to our liking. Each of these classes has their own unique roles and abilities that provide for a different gameplay experience.

Trying out the different appearance of the character for Guardian. By the way, the skills of Guardian is well-rounded, equipped with healing tech and advanced bows with sticky explosive arrows, the Guardian is the perfect support for any fireteam.

My final selection of Guardian. I like the plaid hairstyle, isn't it cute and cool?

The stern-looking Gunner that suit the character style. The character of Gunner is for those who like to blitz right into the fray all fired up with guns blazing.

Last but not least, the Assassin. Also known as the master of stealth and precision, the skilled Assassins can take out enemies swiftly and quietly one by one through careful surgical strikes and escape unnoticed.

I think she looks pretty cool with the gun.

Have you found your choice of character?

Once we have selected our class, we can proceed to customize the appearance of our character. After that, just pick a name for the character and we are ready for action.

Now that your character has been made, we can dive straight into the wacky world of avatar customization through the use of an Avatar Card. These cards (which may be purchased by CC or Medals) are used to store a you to customize your character into whatever you want it to be. It’s all up to your imagination and the sky’s the limit!

The step by step creation of my Avatar.

First, choose your favourite skin for the Avatar.

Next is the head, choose the feature for the eyes, mouth, nose, ear, hair and hat.

How does my Avatar look so far? 

Pretty cool right?

Clothing for my Avatar. I chose a jumper for her.

Wow, we can also choose trinket for our Avatar. 

I choose a headset for my Avatar.

Tadaa, the end result. My funky looking Avatar character.

Trying out other features as well.

The Mario resemble character.

Another creation of mine.

You can create the Avatar of your dreams now at Avatar Star Game.

Let's proceed to the real game now. Go! Go! Go!

A very fun and entertaining game.

We are split into 2 groups - the blue and red teams. Our mission is to capture all the flags of the opponent team and bring it back to our base safety.
