It is the March holidays and if you are looking for a free activity to do with your friends and family, this is a great activity that can take up a few hours of your time.
Heritage Hunter Volume 2 Bingo
You will be given a bingo card after signing up. There will be 9 tiles on the bingo card where you will need to follow the instructions to clear the mission. When you clear 3 or more tiles, you can unlock special rewards. It also looks like you might be able to win some small prizes just by participating.
You will need a smartphone with internet access to participate in this treasure hunt.
For more details, please visit the two sites here and here.
Prizes
For every tile you solve on the Heritage Hunter Bingo card, you will gain one chance to win the following prizes. There will only be 4 winners for the Grand Draw so just treat the prizes as a bonus and just enjoy yourself during the free treasure hunt in Kampong Gelam.
