Unlock 700 years of history through an immersive, gamified experience at **Fort Canning Hill**. This isn’t just a walk; it’s a mission. Designed specifically for teens and adults, **Relics of the Forbidden Hill** transforms Singapore’s historic “Bukit Larangan” into a live game board where you are the protagonist. Starting from the foot of the hill, your guide will lead the group through a series of cryptic challenges and historical ciphers. At each stop, you’ll encounter “beloved items” of the Malay royalty and strategic tools of the British governors. Using your smartphone, you’ll discover artefacts (3D models) that no longer exist on-site, bringing the “Forbidden Hill” back to life right before your eyes. Designed as a living narrative, this tour swaps traditional commentary for an immersive quest where the history is revealed through the challenges you solve. Perfect for families with teens, groups of friends or colleagues, this quest ends at the vibrant Jubilee Park, leaving you with a newfound perspective on the city’s origins.

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
