Recommended rooms

For international visitors: Please note that this blog’s recs are intended for a Singapore-based audience. I wouldn’t recommend Singapore as a destination for escape room tourism; it has few must-plays on an international scale. (None of my personal top 10 still-operating rooms are in Singapore.) (At the international level, I would recommend Inmers Escape Room’s Break Through The Soil and Virtual Room’s three VR offerings, but those aren’t traditional escape rooms.)

Feel free to contact me if you want some tailored recommendations based on team size, team experience, preferred room aspects, etc!
