Interactive murder mystery
The Theatre Practice
Following the success of last year’s interactive murder mystery, The Bride Always Knocks Twice — Killer Secrets, The Theatre Practice rolls out another theatrical adventure that combines theatre, film, and gaming all into one memorable experience.
An innovative partnership between the theatre house and National Gallery Singapore, Gallery of Secrets: The Lost Lily is a multi-platform treasure hunt inspired by the artworks and history of the museum. It will be held from April 4–18.
The production, conducted in English and Mandarin, is available either as a fully digital experience or a physical-digital hybrid, where participants can visit the gallery to search for clues. As a further incentive, the fastest to identify the treasure’s location stands a chance to win real treasure, up to $1,800 cash!
Highlights include an escape room where you have to solve puzzles and riddles; clue-hunting and exploration of the former Supreme Court and City Hall; and a delicious Gallery of Secrets-inspired cocktail at Smoke & Mirrors. Ticket prices start from $28 at www.galleryofsecrets.live.

EAT
Enjoy premium tuna
Maguro Brothers
From the good people who gave us Maguro-Donya and Kuro Maguro comes the new dining concept Maguro Brothers, offering premium sashimi and the best grades of tuna in town. Enjoy everything from otoro (fatty tuna belly) to chutoro (back and stomach) and akami (meaty red tuna), including rarer parts like the head, dorsal, behind the eye and cheek. We recommend the Omakase 7 Cuts Sashimi ($69++) featuring a variety of raw fish.
The secret to the fish’s freshness is the practice of shinkei-jime — a Japanese’s tradition of catching tuna by inserting a spike into the hindbrain to stop the production of lactic acid. The tuna is then kept in a minus-60-degree freezer to maintain its freshness all year round.
