Review Body: The overall experience was unique and fun!! We came on a Saturday night and although little india was crowded (esp bc of Deepavali), the audio guide was easy to follow and navigate through the different parts of jalan besar. Got a little lost trying to find the apartment but it added to the sense of adventure and mystery. Learnt new interesting facts about the area in a fun and immersive way and the bar at the end was also lovely with unique drinks! Definitely recommend to anyone who would like to do something different in SG (although might be better in groups/pairs as walking alone through some of the alleys and the house might be a little daunting) :)

Review Body: We really liked the script and how it blends it with actual real environment around us. The elaborate setup of the characters’ room was truly the icing on the cake that helped made the experience more immersive and gave a lot more depth to the characters’ experience. As an area that one of us has lived with almost his entire life, it was also insightful to discover more of the richness of culture and history of the area. And how well that is shared through narrative rather than prose is probably what made the learning experience even more meaningful.

Review Body: An entertaining evening, following the narration from the audio guide. We found ourselves enjoying the scent and sights of the Little India area while listening to the main characters. A bygone era was recreated beautifully through the sets and there was a sense of mystery (maybe even a little scary). Clocked about 5000 steps within the hour while exploring but the weather was quite hot/humid even at 9.30pm. Better to go for this with friends as some parts require walking into back alleys.

Review Body: If I could give 7 stars I would! The story was so thoughtfully woven into the setting, and I felt truly immersed in a different time as I walked through the streets of Jalan Besar. The set design was also so meticulous, and I really love how real and seamless it felt as part of the larger story. I was truly surprised by the experience packed into such an affordable ticket. Would recommend to any pair of Singaporeans and foreigners alike to rediscover the area!

Review Body: One of the best art and cultural experiences i had in Singapore. A creative way to experience little india. The tour is executed well enough and you can see the details they cover in production. Looking forward to more productions from OH! Stories in the future. will be even better of there were more history and culture about little India itself. but overall i had a very nice experience! Kudos to the team behind this production and the staffs onsite!

Review Body: Really interesting way to spend a date evening in Singapore! Didn’t know what to expect, but it’s basically a very immersive walk through a historical part of Singapore, brought to life through stories and beautiful sets. Via an audio tour, you’re taken through the streets of Jalan Besar and beautifully constructed theatrical sets, and it feels like you’re brought back in time to the 1960s. It was incredibly well done and very original.

Review Body: An experience like no other. This experience takes you into the underbelly of an already bustling area. The narrative transports you back into 70’s with the narrators innate ability to get the consumers to resonate with his experience. The story of 2 lovers lost and found- will strike a chord with most of us and you’ll leave raving about having spent a small amount of money on a large amount of memories. Go for it, you won’t regret it.

Review Body: On first glance I didn’t understand what New World’s End had to offer but I later found out that that was because it is the first of its kind. Street theatre PLUS drama production PLUS walking tour PLUS history lesson, there is so much packed in here and it was SO engaging even for my ADHD self I couldn’t recommend NWE more, I put my love for this activity into words so you just HAVE to experience it for yourself

Review Body: Apart from this unique walk through experience, we were particularly BLOWN away by the writing of the entire storyline. I literally sat on the floor of the room to read through every piece of writing and it made me feel everything all at once. The set-up was beautiful as well. Special shout out to the writers! I would love to read more of your writing / attend any show written by you.

Review Body: I liked how the audio tour provided very clear instructions. The storyline was captivating and engaging. I liked how the tour brought us to streets where I never would have thought to explore. The only qualm I had was that the pace was abit on the fast side, but the MP3 allowed me to control when I could move on to the next track. So that's not too much of an issue anymore!

Review Body: Such a unique and enjoyable experience to tour a historic part of Singapore! The audio was wonderful both in guiding around Jalan Besar and transporting you to another world through the story. I loved the navigating through the hidden alleyways and finding myself in a 60s flat which was both realistic and haunting. An incredible experience that I’d highly recommend!

Review Body: One of the best experiences we've had in Singapore (in my 15 years of living here!) I think it's incredibly creative of the company to get past space constraints by using the streets. The route, music, and script were beautifully planned. Drinks at the end were icing on the cake. Have recommended this to many friends and family. Hope to see more from the company!

Review Body: Great concept, a surprisingly thought provoking experience well beyond my expectations. Like another reviewer says, it would be great to see more such mystery history tours across town. The story could have had more depth, but I can imagine that it is not an easy task. Undoubtedly a great building block for hopefully more to come.

Review Body: This has got to be one of the best interactive tours I have ever attended. The voice over narration was solid. Also loved how the actors played out their characters in each track. Certainly felt like they were there with us during the tour. I would come back for more of such tours. We need more of these tours in Singapore! :)

Review Body: What a fun way to spend an evening in Singapore. The story was captivating, the production high quality (that apartment!), and the neighborhood the perfect bustling setting for this type of adventure. Waked places I might not have thought to go and learned some history in an engaging way along the journey. Highly recommend.

Review Body: I thought it was a little bit unsafe, just because you cross busy streets and driveways many times while listening to the audio program, even though it did its best to leave pauses for that, they did not always line up. The experience was really unique and fun though. Took my wife there for her birthday and she loved it.

Review Body: I was pleasantly surprised with the experience I had. Never had such concept before and I think it's a very interesting one. Highly recommended if you're into trying a new experience, enjoys a good story line, a walk in one of the heritage areas of Singapore and would enjoy a time travel back to Singapore in the '60s.
