CluedUpp is based in the UK, but thanks to the virtual nature of their gameplay which can be enjoyed via an app, they’ve been able to reach out to wannabe detectives all over the world. Finally, they’re bringing their adventures here to Singapore, with a special Witchcraft & Wizardry theme, and we couldn’t be any more stoked.

All you need to do is to form a team of detectives between 2 to 6 players, and have at least one smartphone among you as you’ll be receiving your clues and puzzles through there. Once set, you’ll be roaming around town to complete your tasks as you solve the murder mystery and come out tops against others!

Each ticket costs $65 and can cover up to 6 adults, which means you’ll be paying as low as $10.80 per person should you manage to put together a sizeable squad to hit the max amount. Those under the age of 16 can play for free as extras in the group, though do note that the game is not designed for children to play on their own.
