What To Do During This Phase 2 Weekend (18-20 Dec)
Phase 3 isn't quite here yet, but the weekend certainly is. Here's what you can look forward to this week.
1. Poinsettia Wishes
Gardens by the Bay brings Yuletide cheer from Europe with the return of Poinsettia Wishes. Marvel at a reimagined replica of Gouda City Hall, an iconic landmark in Netherlands known for its annual Christmas candle light-up, as well as the festive nutcracker soldier dolls guarding it., then check out the dazzling Luminarie installations on display.
Of course, we can't forget the colourful festive blooms blossoming throughout the exhibit, from the eponymous poinsettias to cyclamens, hellebores and even real Christmas trees.

3. Fort Siloso – The Quest for Lost Gold
Calling all treasure hunters, history buffs and escape room enthusiasts: Head to Sentosa this weekend and test your wits with Fort Siloso - The Quest for Lost Gold. Created in collaboration with local escape game company Lockdown.SG, this virtual escape room experience will see players solving puzzles and hunting for treasure as they explore Singapore's only preserved coastal fort.
You can choose from two different game modes: Freeplay, or faciliated gameplay. In the freeplay Finders Keepers game, you'll explore Fort Siloso virtually and learn about its rich history while collecting keys to a long-lost pirate treasure.
Conversely, if you want a bigger challenge, check out the facilitated game sessions for Lost Treasure of Sarang Rimau, where players have to work as a team of up to 6 people, uncovering hidden clues and solving puzzles to locate a missing treasure within the time limit of 60 minutes.
