The Plot

Armed with a journal on the list of suspects, search for informants that are scattered along the Telok Ayer area and prove your worth and show that you can be trusted. Collect clues along the way and build the profile of the culprit. Watch this video to find out more!
Based on historical context with a fictional scenario, you do not need prior knowledge on Singapore’s history to do it as all the answers can be found either by observation (they are “around”) or thinking.
