Xcape at Bugis Village: nine escape rooms rated by scare factor, from wand puzzles to live-actor horror

Xcape has been running escape rooms in Singapore since 2013, and its Bugis Village site now has nine themes. Each room is scored for scare factor and difficulty, so you can pick anything from a non-scary wizard bank to a five-out-of-five horror room. Several have live actors. It’s open daily until 11.30pm.
