How to Find This Adventure Lab Cache

To play any Adventure Lab Cache, download the Official Adventure Lab app from your App store (either Apple App Store or Google Play). Once installed on your phone, you can search for the Adventure Lab to begin. 

Once you are close to the starting location (the published coordinates of this cache), you will be given the first question to answer, and getting each correct answer will unlock the next location. This Adventure will take you to 5 locations - each location will require a question to be answered before you can move to the next location.

When playing an Adventure Lab Cache, you will get ONE Cache Find for each of the location when you get the correct answer! So, if you complete this Adventure you will receive five Lab Cache finds, and of course, once you sign the log for this bonus cache you will have a Mystery find as well!

About This Adventure Lab Cache

Welcome to an Adventure Lab that will take you down Telok Ayer Street, one of the oldest streets in the modern Singapore, and the cradle of the “Chinatown” you see around you today. The road is notable for its historic buildings, many of which have histories that date back to the founding of Singapore.

Telok Ayer means “Water Bay” in Malay, named for the street’s original function, which was a place where ships could stock up on fresh water from the wells at the foot of nearby Ann Siang Hill. The shape of the street, which forms a wide arc in the otherwise grid layout of the city, is the only surviving vestige of its coastal past.

Stamford Raffles designated the south bank of the Singapore River as the enclave for the immigrants. Hence, in the years after 1819, Telok Ayer, being a natural harbour, was where many of our forefathers first set foot on Singapore after their long journeys. Religious buildings and clan associations sprung up along the street, and will be the subjects of this AL.
