Let me know if you beat my high score (188 points)

Here, you’ll find 11 fun carnival games, such as ring toss, mini golf, reaction challenge, shooting games, and more. The best part about Kampong Glam’s carnival is its somewhat-of-a sure-win factor.

Each game has a point system, which the staff will award based on your performance. Collect the points, and head to the redemption booth to collect your choice of prize.

Everyone is entitled to the smallest prize, and it’s fairly easy to win a medium prize, which allows you to claim a palm-size plushie keychain, or a 200+ piece 3D puzzle.

Here’s the prize tiers at the Game Village:

  • High — 70-99 points
  • Medium — 40-69 points
  • Low — 39 points and below

To play, you’ll have to first purchase a Game Passport at the entrance for $20, which entitles you to one try at each game station.

Food vendors

Fuel up (pun intended) at the main dining area at Sultan Gate.

Our top pick features smashburgers from The Smashed Burg, which was so simple but comforting. It was buttery, crusty and cheesy, and the buns were toasted perfectly. But, popular choices included a Tarik Croissant, which was a croissant that comes in a tub of your choice of sauce, as well as birria tacos from Killaz.
