About This Adventure Lab Cache

Welcome to an Adventure across Chinatown and a journey back to our communal roots. In this series, we will explore the rich cultural history of the Chinese Clan Associations who aided our ancestors when they first arrived on this foreign island. There are five locations in this Adventure on a two-kilometre trail that winds its way around the beautiful heritage precincts of Chinatown.

Much of Singapore's early development were built on the foundations of these Clan Associations. When the first Chinese immigrants arrived here, they were in need of support in many ways: lodgings, jobs, education and even religious obligations. Clan associations based on kinship, dialect groups or vocation were set up by the pioneers to help provide these needs. Thus, many of the earliest temples, schools and hospitals were set up by clans for their fellow men. Many of the clans have survive to this day, and we shall explore their rich heritage in this Adventure Lab. 

The Final Cache

To get the coordinates for the final cache, use the information in the Journal Entries to solve the simple puzzle below:

You'll find the cache near another historic building that was also built by the Chinese clans to give thanks for a safe voyage to Singapore. Hope you enjoyed the Adventure Lab and the Final!
