Reality Escape Room Game in Singapore

Reality Escape Room Game is inspired by virtual “Escape Room” video games and web-based browser games. Typically, there is a scenario and a mission to achieve, with some hints scattered all over the room, and the group has to escape from the chamber within a given time. There are currently two operators in Singapore, Xcape (1-hr game) and Freeing SG (45-min game). Both are launched here about 6 months ago. The cost is S$28 per person for weekends and S$22 for weekdays. One may enjoy discounted price (from 20% to 50%) from Groupon Singapore, Deal.com.sg or using special promotion codes.

Xcape Singapore. Lim Min went for this game, as part of NTU's CN Yang Scholars Programme orientation camp in July 2013. She had found it rather cool and shared with us how she and her friends managed to escape the room.  
Freeing SG. We went on 9 December, paid about $66 for 4 persons (actually, I may have paid for 1 extra person as I read somewhere that only those above 15 need to pay). Honestly, I find it not value-for-money for a 45-minute problem solving game. 
Mission completed!

If you ever manage to get into Cambridge, maybe you have a chance to become senior wrangler and be even more dominant than Lee Hsien Loong, Lee Kwan Yu's son. It supposedly on his wikipedia article that he got 12 more alphas then the 2nd wrangler. Can you compete as one of the world's best?
