β β β β β 6 months agoFirst visit since primary school, and Iβd honestly forgotten about Battlebox until I came across the escape game. The experience was surprisingly immersive β with life-size figures, audio effects, and detailed setups that recreate what happened leading up to Singaporeβs surrender. What made it even more impactful was that itβs set right at the actual historical site where these events took place. Itβs not a huge space, but definitely worth a visit and highly recommended.
