Every escape room in Singapore sells the same thing, sixty to seventy-five minutes on a clock, and in 2026 the price for it runs from $23.90 to $45.90 a person. Two things nobody tells you before you book. First, Xcape does publish its prices after all: they sit on each individual game page, at $29.90 off-peak and $35.90 peak for seven rooms, and $39.90 / $45.90 for Legacy of Arthur and The Purge Day, not the low-$20s the roundups keep repeating. Second, a pair almost never pays for two: Trapped bills a minimum of three, Xcape sells a Two-Player Guarantee that is literally 'pay for 3 pax to block out the room', and three of LOST SG's five rooms carry a hard three-player minimum its booking system enforces. The cheapest genuine escape room in Singapore is LOST SG at $23.90 a person on a weekday before 5.30pm, with Lockdown at a flat $24 any weekday; the cheapest student rate is Trapped's $28.90 after 6pm; and the discount almost nobody uses is Trapped's $5 off per pax with a SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, PAssion or nEbO card, valid for four or more players right through to 31 December 2026. Every price, room and age limit below was read off each operator's own website, price card or promotional artwork on 3 September 2026, including the venue we have had to remove, Amazing Chambers Singapura at Gedung Kuning, whose own domain no longer resolves, whose booking system returns 'object not found' and which Google now lists as permanently closed.
Sixty minutes on a clock, and the price for it runs from $23.90 to $45.90 a person depending on which door you walk through.
> Quick view: Cheapest real escape room: LOST SG, $23.90/pax on a weekday before 5.30pm (Lockdown $24 any weekday). Dearest: Xcape's Legacy of Arthur and The Purge Day, $45.90 at peak. The catch nobody prints: a pair usually pays for three, at Trapped, at Xcape, and in three of LOST SG's five rooms.
If you have played a few escape rooms and want the next level of production, LOST SG is where enthusiasts send you: fog machines, professional lighting and sound, and sets that feel like walking onto a film. All five rooms are now 2.0 rebuilds: Alcatraz 2.0 (a prison break), Aokigahara 2.0 (Japan's Sea of Trees), Castiglione 2.0 (an 18th-century Jesuit artist in China), Exodus 2.0 (escape from Egypt) and Mausoleum 2.0 (the terracotta labyrinth). The venue itself grades them rather than calling them all brutal: Mausoleum 2.0 is the most beginner-friendly, Alcatraz 2.0 and Exodus 2.0 are intermediate, and Castiglione 2.0 and Aokigahara 2.0 are the hardest. Pricing is $23.90 per person on weekday off-peak (10am–5.30pm) and $29.90 at peak, and read the peak definition carefully, because it starts at 5.45pm on weekdays and covers the whole of weekends, public holidays AND the eve of a public holiday. Three things the roundups miss. Minimum group size is per room, not per venue: Castiglione 2.0 and Mausoleum 2.0 take 2, but Alcatraz 2.0, Aokigahara 2.0 and Exodus 2.0 need 3 and LOST SG says plainly that its booking system enforces it, so a pair cannot buy its way in. There are no live actors or NPCs in any room in the building. Aokigahara 2.0's scares are entirely environmental, and nothing will touch or grab you, which makes it the horror option for people who hate being chased. And it does NOT accept cash: payment is on-site before your game by NETS, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayNow or GrabPay only. Games are 60 minutes, every session is private with no strangers ever added, phones and bags go in free lockers, and you should arrive 15 minutes early. The venue can run 60 players at once across its five rooms, so it handles a company offsite too. It sits inside GR.iD at 1 Selegie Road #B1-03/04, two minutes from Dhoby Ghaut MRT, open daily 10am to 10.30pm, but the last game starts around 9.30pm, so 'open till 10.30' is not a bookable slot. Google rating 4.8 from 2,522 reviews. BEST FOR: the cheapest weekday game, guaranteed privacy, and horror without actors.
Weekday off-peak $23.90/pax, peak $29.90 (peak starts 5.45pm and includes eve of PH); kids 6 & under free; pay on site, no cash accepted
When people say they want an escape room that will actually scare them, this is the answer. Trapped specialises in horror: dim lighting, unsettling sound design, scripted jump scares and, in several rooms, live actors who share the space with you. The seven Season 6 rooms are The Cursed Video Tape, The Insidious Hostel Warlock, Ravenhill Asylum, The Salem Experiment: Strangest Things, The Great Escape, The Attic and Alchemist's Cabinet of Curiosities, and games run 75 minutes, the longest on this list. It also publishes something nobody else does: a 17% survival rate across more than 147,000 players. The standard rate is $38.90 per person with no off-peak tier at all, and there is a minimum of three paying players, so a pair pays $116.70. Most rooms take up to 12 (10 for The Cursed Video Tape and The Salem Experiment). The discounts are where this gets interesting. Students get $10 off after 6pm daily, excluding public holidays, taking it to $28.90, the cheapest student rate in Singapore. And running quietly alongside it are five membership offers worth $5 off per person on a minimum of four players, all valid to 31 December 2026: SAFRA (code SAFRA5), HomeTeamNS (HTNS5), PAssion (PASSION5), nEbO (NEBO5) and a meRewards e-voucher. Each needs the physical card shown before payment, each works online or at the counter, and none of them stack with each other or with the student rate, so four PAssion cardholders pay $33.90 each, while four students after 6pm pay $28.90 each. Two rules to plan around: school uniforms are not allowed unless you are there as an organised school activity, and if you arrive late the game starts without you and your playtime is cut. Payment is on site by cash or NETS. Stated ages are 4 and up, chargeable from 7, with adult supervision for anyone 12 or under, but these are explicit horror rooms with live actors, so treat it as teens and up. The Centrepoint, 176 Orchard Road #03-26, by Somerset MRT, daily 11am to 10pm. Google rating 4.9 from 9,249 reviews. BEST FOR: a real scare, the cheapest student rate, and any group of four with a SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, PAssion or nEbO card.
Students $10 off after 6pm ($28.90, excl. PH), or $5 off per pax with SAFRA5 / HTNS5 / PASSION5 / NEBO5 / meRewards, min 4 pax, to 31 Dec 2026 (not stackable)
Valid till 31 Dec 2026
The volume player, and the one to book when your group wants the widest menu of themes under one roof: 8,376 square feet, 12 marketed themes across 55 chambers, over 1.5 million players and nine rooms bookable right now. Correcting ourselves here: Xcape does publish its prices, and has all along; they are simply on each individual game page rather than a single rate card, and they are higher than every roundup in Singapore says. Seven rooms are $29.90 per person off-peak and $35.90 at peak: Azkaban, Busan Express, Confession, Joker, The Doll, Unseen and Wizardry Bank. The two premium live-actor rooms, Legacy of Arthur and The Purge Day, are $39.90 and $45.90, the most expensive escape room in Singapore. Peak is Monday to Friday after 6pm plus weekends and public holidays. Each game page also carries a Scare Factor and a Difficulty rating out of five, which is the fastest way to settle an argument: Azkaban, Legacy of Arthur and Wizardry Bank are 0/5 for scares, Busan Express, Confession and Unseen are 3/5, The Doll 4/5, and Joker and The Purge Day are 5/5. Three offers are printed on Xcape's own artwork. Students get $6 off per person after 6pm on production of a physical student card, not on public holidays or their eve. The Group Room Promo is eight players for the price of seven, on any room with a capacity of eight or more. And the Two-Player Guarantee is the one to read twice: a pair can play, but you pay for 3 pax to block out the room, the promise being 'no combined groups', which tells you Xcape may otherwise seat strangers with you. Only Unseen is a genuine 2-to-6 room, and Azkaban is 3-to-8 with no two-player option at all. Games run 75 minutes except Busan Express and Unseen at 60, children under 13 need an accompanying paying adult, and its newest room, The Doll, launched in August 2026, listed on its own page at Scare Factor 4/5 and Difficulty 3/5. Bugis Village, 161 Rochor Road, ground floor, daily 11am to 11.30pm, the latest closing on this list. Google rating 4.9 from 11,430 reviews. BEST FOR: the most theme choice, groups of eight, and a late-night game.
$29.90/pax off-peak ($35.90 peak); Legacy of Arthur & The Purge Day $39.90/$45.90. Students $6 off after 6pm with a physical student card; 8 play for the price of 7 on rooms holding 8+
Est. 2013 and one of the first escape-room operators in Singapore, Lockdown still designs and builds every room in-house at its single Marina Square floor. There are six games. Three are real escape rooms (Bearry Potter and the FireStorm Guardian, Bearsident Evil and Alice in Bearryland, all 2 to 8 players), and three are free-roam VR games, Forgotten Temple, Circus of the Dead and Kidnapped!, all 2 to 4. Every game is 60 minutes and priced identically at a flat $24 per person on weekdays and $30 on weekends and public holidays, with no minimum-group surcharge and every session private to your group. Two corrections to what most listings still say about this venue. First, the age policy has tightened: Lockdown now recommends 13 and up for the escape rooms AND the VR games, with under-13s allowed only when an adult is in the group. The old 'from age 7 with a paying adult, VR 17 and up' rule is gone. For younger children the venue points you instead at Lava Floor, its two-arena attraction on the same level, which takes ages 6 and up, runs 25 minutes and costs from $13 on weekdays and $17 at weekends, the cheapest thing in this guide by a distance, though it is a floor-is-lava game, not an escape room. Second, this is not the horror-free venue it is often described as: Lockdown's own how-to-pick guide flags Bearsident Evil and VR Circus of the Dead as dark, loud and jumpy, and steers the easily spooked to Bearry Potter, Alice in Bearryland or Forgotten Temple instead. Nor is it a pushover: the venue rates its real rooms 4 out of 5 for difficulty and its VR games 5 out of 5. Booking is through Bookeo and you pay online, unlike LOST SG and Trapped; arrive 15 minutes early for the waiver. Marina Square, 6 Raffles Boulevard #03-149, two minutes from Esplanade MRT, open daily 12 noon to 9pm, the earliest close on this list. One footnote for anyone chasing an old listing: The Escape Artist, whose Harbourfront outlet went when HarbourFront Centre shut on 27 July 2026, is now Lockdown's partner brand for large-format offsite and carnival games rather than a walk-in venue. Google rating 4.9 from 1,780 reviews. BEST FOR: a flat price with no minimum-group trap, VR, and (via Lava Floor) the only real option here for a six-year-old.
Flat $24/pax weekdays, $30 weekends & PH, any of its 6 games; Lava Floor from $13 (ages 6+, 25 min). Escape rooms and VR now 13+ recommended
The one to call for a big group, and quietly the most transparent operator on this list. Established in 2005 and built specifically for corporate escape-room training, Captivate has hosted over 4,000 team-building events, can run up to 88 players in a single simultaneous session across its eight rooms, and has handled programmes for teams of up to 1,000. The full eight, with capacities: Alice in ParallelLand (12), Hansel & Gretel (10), Wednesday Addams (10), Incredible Beasts (10, Harry Potter-inspired), Impossible Mission: Diamond Heist (10), Steampunk Singapore Prison Break (10), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (10; be warned, this room has clowns) and Murder on the Singapore Express (8). It is also the only venue here that publishes how often people actually get out: 51 to 55 per cent escape without hints and 88 to 93 per cent with them, listed room by room. Pricing starts from $25 per person with a $32 tier appearing at booking depending on the day, games run about an hour after the briefing, and rooms take 2 to 12. A pair can book five of the eight (Wednesday Addams, Murder on the Singapore Express, Steampunk Prison Break, Hansel & Gretel and CSI), while three or more can book any room at any time, and you are never grouped with strangers. Its individual room pages also give a recommended group range, which is stricter than that booking rule in places: Alice in ParallelLand 3 to 12, CSI and Incredible Beasts 3 to 10, Impossible Mission: Diamond Heist 4 to 10, Hansel & Gretel, Steampunk Prison Break and Wednesday Addams 2 to 10, and Murder on the Singapore Express 2 to 8. It is the youngest-friendly venue on this list, taking children from age 6 and only requiring an adult in the room when the whole group is under 12. Two booking rules worth knowing: weekday slots are online-only and open just fourteen days in advance, while weekend bookings go through its enquiry form at any time. There is a Party Room available at weekends and after 6.30pm on weekdays for an additional fee, and the venue will hide goodie bags in the room if you order ahead. The standing Happy Hour is still live: book online for a Monday-to-Thursday start between 6pm and 8pm and every player gets a free can of Coke on completion, claimable on the day, not valid on a public holiday or its eve. Payment on arrival by cash, NETS, NETS QR, Amex, PayNow or a local NETS debit card. Singapore Shopping Centre, 190 Clemenceau Avenue #06-28, next to Dhoby Ghaut MRT Exit B, daily 10.45am to 9.30pm. Google rating 4.7 from 3,956 reviews. BEST FOR: 20-plus groups, corporate team-building, birthday parties and families with primary-school children.
From $25/pax, ages 6+, up to 88 players in one session. Happy Hour: free can of Coke on completion for online bookings starting 6–8pm Mon–Thu (excl. PH & eve of PH)
| Venue | Off-peak / peak per pax | Rooms & minimum group | Best published discount | Hours & where |

Alcatraz 2.0, Aokigahara 2.0 and Exodus 2.0 need 3, and the booking system enforces it | Kids 6 and under free with a paying adult. No student rate | Daily 10am–10.30pm, last game about 9.30pm. GR.iD, 1 Selegie Rd (Dhoby Ghaut) |
| Trapped Singapore | $38.90 flat, no off-peak rate | 7 rooms, max 12 (10 for The Cursed Video Tape and The Salem Experiment). Minimum 3 paying, so a pair is billed as 3 | Students $10 off after 6pm (not PH). $5 off per pax with SAFRA5, HTNS5, PASSION5, NEBO5 or a meRewards code: min 4 pax, to 31 Dec 2026, not stackable | Daily 11am–10pm. The Centrepoint, 176 Orchard Rd #03-26 (Somerset) |
| Xcape Singapore | $29.90 / $35.90, but $39.90 / $45.90 for Legacy of Arthur and The Purge Day (peak = Mon–Fri after 6pm, weekends, PH) | 9 rooms. Azkaban is 3–8 and Unseen is 2–6; every other room is '2 to 8' only if you buy the Two-Player Guarantee and pay for 3 | Students $6 off per pax after 6pm with a physical student card (not PH or eve of PH).

| Lockdown.SG | $24 weekday / $30 weekend and PH. Lava Floor $13 / $17 | 3 escape rooms (2–8) and 3 VR games (2–4), all private, no strangers. A pair pays for 2 | None published. Lava Floor at $13 for 25 minutes is the cheap way in, and it takes ages 6 and up | Daily 12 noon–9pm. Marina Square, 6 Raffles Blvd #03-149 (Esplanade) |
| Captivate Escape Rooms | From $25; a $32 tier shows at booking | 8 rooms, 2–12.

Most single games run 60–75 minutes. Every price below is what the operator itself publishes, per person, and none of them add GST or a service charge on top.
| Venue | Off-peak | Peak | What counts as peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOST SG | $23.90 | $29.90 | Weekdays from 5.45pm, all weekend, PH and eve of PH |
| Lockdown.SG | $24 | $30 | Weekends and public holidays |
| Captivate | from $25 | a $32 tier appears at booking | Varies by day |
| Xcape (7 rooms) | $29.90 | $35.90 | Mon–Fri after 6pm, weekends, PH |
| Xcape (Legacy of Arthur, The Purge Day) | $39.90 | $45.90 | Mon–Fri after 6pm, weekends, PH |
| Trapped | None | $38.90 flat | No off-peak rate exists |
Two things this table changes. Xcape is not the cheap option: we and every other roundup had it in the low-$20s, but its own game pages price it above LOST SG, Lockdown and Captivate, and its two premium rooms are the most expensive escape room in Singapore. And LOST SG's peak window is wider than anyone else's: it starts at 5.45pm rather than 6pm, and it is the only one on this list that charges peak on the eve of a public holiday.
This is the single most expensive assumption you can make. Only two of the five charge a pair for two people.
Two players in a room designed for eight is genuinely harder (more locks than hands), so pick a beginner-rated room the first time. LOST SG's Mausoleum 2.0 is the one its own site names as most beginner-friendly.
| Who | Discount | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Students at Trapped | $10 off → $28.90 | Daily after 6pm, not public holidays. School uniforms not allowed unless it's an organised school activity |
| Students at Xcape | $6 off → $29.90 (or $39.90 for the two premium rooms) | After 6pm only, physical student card at the counter, not PH or eve of PH |
| SAFRA / HomeTeamNS / PAssion / nEbO / meRewards at Trapped | $5 off per pax → $33.90 | Minimum 4 players, card shown before payment, valid to 31 Dec 2026. Codes SAFRA5, HTNS5, PASSION5, NEBO5. Not stackable with each other or with the student rate |
| Any group of 8 at Xcape | 8 play for the price of 7 | Only on rooms with a capacity of 8 or more |
| Mon–Thu 6–8pm at Captivate | Free can of Coke each | Online bookings only, claim on the day, not PH or eve of PH |
Because after 6pm is peak everywhere, both student discounts land you back at roughly the off-peak price rather than below it. LOST SG, Lockdown and Captivate publish no student rate at all.
There is no island-wide rule: each operator sets its own, and one of them changed this year.
Xcape at Bugis Village runs latest, taking sessions until 11.30pm daily. LOST SG is open till 10.30pm, but its own FAQ says the last game starts around 9.30pm, so the closing time is not a bookable slot. Trapped runs to 10pm, Captivate to 9.30pm, and Lockdown closes earliest at 9pm.
Bear in mind a late slot is peak pricing nearly everywhere. The one place a late start saves you money is at the two venues with an evening student rate: Trapped's $10 off and Xcape's $6 off both apply only after 6pm.
Xcape publishes a Scare Factor out of five on every game page, which is the fastest way to settle this: Azkaban, Legacy of Arthur and Wizardry Bank are all 0/5; Busan Express, Confession and Unseen are 3/5; The Doll is 4/5; Joker and The Purge Day are 5/5.
At LOST SG, four of five rooms are non-horror (Alcatraz 2.0, Castiglione 2.0, Exodus 2.0 and Mausoleum 2.0), and even the horror one, Aokigahara 2.0, has no actors or NPCs inside with you. Captivate runs beginner-to-intermediate with no horror specialist rooms, though its CSI room contains clowns, which is worth knowing if anyone in the group would rather it didn't.
One correction to a line that appears in a lot of guides, including our own last version: Lockdown is not horror-free. Its own how-to-pick guide flags Bearsident Evil and VR Circus of the Dead as dark, loud and jumpy, and steers the easily spooked to Bearry Potter, Alice in Bearryland or Forgotten Temple instead.
It depends what you are counting. Xcape is biggest by scale and reach: 8,376 square feet, 12 marketed themes across 55 chambers (nine bookable now), over 1.5 million players. Captivate is the one built for volume, running up to 88 players in a single simultaneous session across eight rooms, with 4,000-plus corporate events since 2005 and programmes run for teams of up to 1,000. LOST SG holds 60 at once across five rooms and runs back-to-back sessions above that. For one big group on one day, Captivate is the practical answer; for the widest choice of themes, Xcape.
Google ratings and review counts, read on 22 August 2026, and useful because these are the only numbers on this page that can't be set by the venue.
| Venue | Google rating | Reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Xcape Singapore | 4.9 | 11,430 |
| Trapped Singapore | 4.9 | 9,249 |
| Captivate Escape Rooms | 4.7 | 3,956 |
| LOST SG | 4.8 | 2,522 |
| Lockdown.SG | 4.9 | 1,780 |
Note that several operators quote lower, older figures on their own sites: LOST SG still says "4.7 across 2,200+" and Xcape "4.9 on 8,000+", both of which are behind their live Google counts.
If you're deciding on the day, Dhoby Ghaut gives you two very different options within one station: the cheapest weekday game in Singapore at LOST SG, or a room that takes your whole extended family at Captivate.
> Now closed: Amazing Chambers Singapura at Gedung Kuning, 73 Sultan Gate, which we ranked fourth in earlier versions of this guide, has been removed. Its own domain amazingchambers.sg no longer resolves, the booking system linked from its page returns "object not found", its last Facebook post was February 2022, and Google lists the business as permanently closed. The Escape Artist's Harbourfront outlet also went when HarbourFront Centre shut on 27 July 2026 for redevelopment; the brand now runs large-format offsite and carnival games as Lockdown's partner rather than a walk-in venue, and Lockdown's own Harbourfront outlet closed for the same reason.
*Prices, room line-ups, age limits, payment methods and opening hours in this article were re-read off each operator's own website, price card, booking system or promotional artwork on 3 September 2026; Google ratings and Captivate's opening hours were read from Google Maps on 22 August 2026. On that 3 September re-check all five venues were still trading and every headline price held: LOST SG $23.90 / $29.90, Lockdown $24 / $30 with Lava Floor at $13 / $17, Captivate from $25, Xcape $29.90 / $35.90 and $39.90 / $45.90 across nine rooms, and Trapped $38.90, with its student rate and all five card codes still dated to 31 December 2026. Two things had moved and are corrected here: Captivate's published escape rates now run 51 to 55 per cent without hints and 88 to 93 per cent with them, where we had 52 to 55 and 90 to 93; and Xcape now lists its newest room on its own game page simply as The Doll, not The Doll: The Curse Returns. Captivate's per-room recommended group sizes are new in this update. An earlier update removed Amazing Chambers Singapura as permanently closed and renumbered the list from six picks to five. Rates depend on the day and timeslot and change without notice, so confirm the exact price, room availability and minimum group size when you book.*
It depends on what you are buying. For set design and a genuinely hard game, LOST SG at GR.iD is where enthusiasts send you: five rooms, all rebuilt as 2.0 versions, every session private, and its own site rates Castiglione 2.0 and Aokigahara 2.0 as the hardest and Mausoleum 2.0 as the most beginner-friendly. If you want to be scared, Trapped at The Centrepoint is the horror specialist, with live actors and a published 17% survival rate. For the widest choice, Xcape at Bugis Village has nine rooms and publishes a scare rating and a difficulty rating out of five for each one. Lockdown at Marina Square is Singapore's pioneer operator and the only one here with a VR floor. And for a group of 20 or more, Captivate near Dhoby Ghaut runs up to 88 players in one simultaneous session. On raw Google ratings as at 22 August 2026: Xcape 4.9 from 11,430 reviews, Trapped 4.9 from 9,249, Captivate 4.7 from 3,956, LOST SG 4.8 from 2,522, Lockdown 4.9 from 1,780.
In 2026 the published range is $23.90 to $45.90 per person for one 60 to 75-minute game. The cheapest is LOST SG at $23.90 on a weekday between 10am and 5.30pm, with Lockdown a flat $24 on any weekday and Captivate from $25. Xcape prices each room individually on its own game page: $29.90 off-peak and $35.90 peak for Azkaban, Busan Express, Confession, Joker, The Doll, Unseen and Wizardry Bank, and $39.90 / $45.90 for its two premium live-actor rooms, Legacy of Arthur and The Purge Day. Trapped is a flat $38.90 with no off-peak rate at all. Peak is defined almost identically everywhere (weekday evenings from about 6pm plus weekends and public holidays), with one catch: LOST SG's peak starts at 5.45pm and also covers the eve of a public holiday. Two things move the final bill more than the headline: minimum group size (see the next question) and the discounts, which can take Trapped from $38.90 down to $28.90.
Yes, but at three of our five picks a pair does not pay for two. Trapped charges a minimum of three paying players, so a couple pays $116.70 rather than $77.80. Xcape's rooms are listed as '2 to 8' with an asterisk, and the asterisk is its Two-Player Guarantee: pay for 3 pax to block out the room, so no other group is combined with yours, which also tells you that Xcape otherwise may put strangers in with you. LOST SG is stricter still: only Castiglione 2.0 and Mausoleum 2.0 accept two players, while Alcatraz 2.0, Aokigahara 2.0 and Exodus 2.0 have a three-player minimum that its booking system enforces, so a pair cannot book them at any price. That leaves two venues where two people pay for two: Lockdown, where all six games take from 2 and every session is private, and Captivate, where a pair can book five of the eight rooms (Wednesday Addams, Murder on the Singapore Express, Steampunk Prison Break, Hansel & Gretel and CSI) and groups of three or more can book anything. One practical note: two players in a room built for eight is genuinely harder, so pick a beginner-rated room the first time.
Two of the five, and both only in the evening. Trapped gives students $10 off the $38.90 standard rate, taking it to $28.90 per person, daily after 6pm, excluding public holidays; note it also bans school uniforms unless you are there as an organised school activity. Xcape gives students $6 off per person after 6pm, so $29.90 for a standard room and $39.90 for Legacy of Arthur or The Purge Day, on production of a physical student card at the counter, and not on a public holiday or its eve. Because after 6pm is peak everywhere, both discounts land you back at roughly the off-peak price rather than below it. LOST SG, Lockdown and Captivate publish no student rate. If you are not a student, Trapped's card discounts are the better deal for a group: $5 off per person with a SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, PAssion or nEbO card, or a meRewards e-voucher, on a minimum of four players, valid to 31 December 2026, using codes SAFRA5, HTNS5, PASSION5 and NEBO5, none of them combinable with each other or with the student rate. Xcape's group promo works on headcount instead: eight play for the price of seven on any room that holds eight or more.
Captivate is now the youngest-friendly of the five: it takes children from age 6, and only requires that an adult be in the room if the whole group is under 12. LOST SG lets children aged 6 and under in free with a paying adult, charges the usual rate from 7, and requires an adult with anyone 12 or under, but it recommends ages 12 and up for most rooms and suggests Exodus 2.0 or Castiglione 2.0 for younger players. Lockdown's rule has tightened this year and is worth re-reading if you have an old listing: it now recommends 13 and up for the escape rooms AND the VR games, with under-13s allowed only if an adult is in the group. The previous 'from age 7' policy is gone. For younger children Lockdown points you instead to its Lava Floor on the same level, which takes ages 6 and up, runs 25 minutes and costs from $13. Xcape requires an accompanying paying adult for anyone under 13. Trapped's stated minimum is 4, chargeable from 7 and with adult supervision for anyone 12 or under, but the rooms are explicit horror with live actors, so treat it as teens and up regardless.
