There’s more to do during the holidays with family and friends at PLAYFiesta 2022! Held at 37 Emerald Hill, the carnival is now open to the public now till 4 December 2022 with a lineup of fun activities and events!
PLAYFiesta 2022 Activities
Located only 10 minutes walk away from Somerset, PLAYFiesta 2022 is hosted across the compound of the old Singapore Chinese Girls School. The carnival is split into 3 main sections – The Mirror World, a bazaar with various F&B and retail options and live performances.
Admission into the bazaar and performances is free, but a ticket is needed to enter The Mirror World. The tickets are priced at $25 from Monday to Thursday and $28 from Friday to Sunday.
The Mirror World
The Mirror World is a series of 8 immersive game rooms incorporating various exciting technologies like NFTs and AR. Each room features a different challenge to be tackled and you can play solo or with others!
It was quite cool to participate and use these elements across all the stations. In the WINK+ Gallery, explore various NFTs made by local artists and search for secret clues to reveal a code.
The Love Marathon station tests your response reflex by having participants dodge virtual ‘love scammers’ to prevent the consequences of a love scam. It was easier said than done! The Phygital Arena was a highlight too, with its competitive 2-v-2 game setting. Using a projector and sensors, participants can play a game of virtual air hockey.
And these are only 3 of the many other stations available that you can experience at The Mirror World! The stations are engaging but easy to play, making it suitable for all ages.
Bazaar With Homegrown Brands
The venue is lined with a series of local retail and food and beverage brands that you can peruse as you enjoy PLAYFiesta. Food vendors include Dochi Dochi, China Chef, Big PawPaw X Gunny’s and more!
Those who enjoy alcohol can also get artisanal beers and beer on tap at Brea@PLAY, as well as a number of gelatos at Milk Bar.
Take some time to also support some local retail brands, including Tea Story, Herbal Pharm and more! It’s a great initiative to bring more visibility to these uniquely Singaporean brands.
Live Performances By Local Talents And More
In the theme of celebrating all things Made In Singapore, PLAYFiesta will also host a lineup of live music, comedy and DJs. You can expect performances including Christmas carolling, Retro night and even Mandopop Night.
