Echoes of the Forbidden Hill: A Bilingual Amazing Race
Experience Fort Canning Park after dark with “Echoes of the Forbidden Hill” — a free immersive bilingual amazing race where history, language and technology come together.
Organised in collaboration with Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism, the race takes you through five stops across the park, where you can follow clues and uncover stories hidden within the hill.
Watch as large-scale light projections transform the canopy — historic ships glide through the leaves, maps glow in the dark, and centuries of history unfold through cinematic audio playing in sync through your earphones.
At every stop, your team will face a bilingual puzzle that no single language can crack alone. You’ll need to combine your language skills, decode the clues and work together to make it to the end.
