Turning Gedung Kuning (Yellow Mansion), a historical Malay royal building in Singapore, into an interactive-game space has sparked criticism from the community that the move is "disrespectful".
At its premises along Sultan Gate last Friday, Amazing Chambers Singapura officially launched its Singapore history and Malay-folklore themed interactive rooms, which use "escape room gaming technology", where people move from one room to another by solving puzzles and breaking codes.
