Collect your receipts during your next meal at Subway as it'll get you tickets to the first-ever Subway museum opening from 10 to 30 August 2022 in Singapore. Named the Subway Big Museum of Taste, the 6,000 sq ft area is a photo-worthy wonderland packed with entertainment. Think Museum of Ice Cream, but with games!

Located at 11 Prinsep Link, the pop-up museum is pretty easy to spot as it's marked with a giant seven-metre long Italian B.M.T. sub. Before heading inside, grab a near field communication (NFC) tag that you'll use to play games and redeem freebies.

Entering the comfortable air-conditioned building, you'll be surrounded by green and yellow, aka Subway's iconic colour combo. This is the most museum-esque zone, with displays covering the submarine sandwich brand's origin story and its evolution to becoming one of the most well-known fast food chains in the world.

Next is a replica of a typical Subway restaurant where visitors can put on a green apron and imagine themselves as a Subway sandwich artist, or challenge themselves to the Subway trivia quizzes.

Also at this zone is a bright, fluorescent pink foodpanda-themed room featuring plenty of photo ops with their adorable panda mascot, Pau-Pau. Scan your NFT tag to redeem a token which you can use to have a go at the claw machine and win prizes like foodpanda vouchers.

After that is where the real fun starts! This build-a-sub zone has four different games themed after the four components of a Subway sandwich: bread, protein, veggies and sauce. Players collect ingredients after successfully scoring at least five points in each game and use them to build a digital sub.

Start by "kneading" bread dough, which involves slamming your hands on a counter with speed and precision, then spot the missing protein in a game that resembles dance arcade machines.

Move on to the veggie station where you'll "slice" vegetables in a hilarious ninja-like cutting motion. Lastly, have a go at squeezing the correct type and amount of sauce on your sandwich.

From someone with poor hand-eye coordination, these games weren't too challenging and will be fun for adults and kids, although Subway advises that visitors be at least 5 years old or 90cm in height to safely enjoy the museum.

Along the way, you'll come across many Instagrammable spots including a cookie corner and a Coca-Cola corridor covered in dreamy patterned lighting.

The journey concludes at the gift store where you can shop for limited edition Subway merchandise including realistic-looking Subway sandwich plush toys and a quirky tote bag that's oddly long and could easily fit several footlong subs.

The gift shop also has two photo spots. One has two cute standees of SubBro, Subway's new mascot, and another is a reference to Subway appearances in K-dramas. Here's us trying to recreate the scene from Goblin: The Lonely and Great God:

To get tickets, simply spend a minimum of $12 in a single receipt for one e-ticket or $20 for two e-tickets at any Subway restaurant (walk-in and takeaway only) from 28 July to 30 August 2022. With your valid receipts ready, head online to redeem your e-ticket and book your one-hour visit to the museum.

It's also a plus that the museum won't be overcrowded as online time slot booking is a must, and tickets are not for sale at the venue.
