National Gallery Singapore is partnering HIDDEN, an award-winning experiences company specialising in immersive games, to launch a new AI chatbot-based game “FRAMED: A Murder Mystery in National Gallery Singapore”, which invites visitors to discover art in a new and interactive way.

From 1 March 2025, visitors can participate in the thrilling murder mystery adventure to solve puzzles, uncover hidden secrets, and discover how art can shape, obscure, or reveal one’s identity. The premise – you’re accused of a crime you did not commit! Through the self-guided, interactive game hosted on messaging platform WhatsApp, players can navigate at their own pace while diving into the exciting narrative. This seeks to bring a unique experience in exploring the exhibitions at National Gallery Singapore.

“FRAMED” interacts with players through an AI chatbot “Void Deck Cat”, providing clues to uncover hidden elements at the DBS Singapore Gallery, UOB Southeast Asia Gallery and the ArchiGallery. Players can operate the game on their devices, without the need to download additional applications. With the Story-Tech© journey developed by HIDDEN, “FRAMED” can be experienced as an individual, or in groups of friends, colleagues, and family members.

Participants can purchase their tickets online and will be provided a QR code to kickstart the game. The AI chatbot will lead the conversation to provide clues with information about the heritage, art, and history of National Gallery Singapore and its long-term exhibitions. Players can explore and seek answers within the museum spaces to unlock riddles and to complete the game.

Tickets: $29.90 per participant, includes General Admission pass to National Gallery Singapore
