Singapore-themed browser games

1. Kopitype

Type Singlish phrases as quickly as possible

Many of us would remember battling our friends to rounds of Monkeytype back in school, frantically typing away to see who could clock the highest score. Now, imagine if Monkeytype got a Singaporean makeover – meet Kopitype, our very own localised typing test game.

Challenge yourself to type as many Singaporean phrases or MRT names as you can within 15, 30, or 60 seconds. The countdown begins once you type your 1st letter, and when time is up, the game will reveal your words per minute, accuracy, and a graph of your pace throughout the round.

Kopitype is available in 5 different modes:

1. Singlish mode
This mixes recognisable Singlish terms with words tied to everyday life in Singapore, including words such as lah, shiok, kopi, and PayNow. It’s probably the most accessible and easiest mode to play.

2. Phrases mode
Instead of isolated words, you’ll have to type complete Singaporean phrases in this mode. These phrases draw context from relatable scenarios, such as hawker centre orders and army life, making the game feel more distinctly local than a standard typing test.

3. MRT mode
Think you know our MRT system? This mode is where we discovered that certain multi-word station names such as Ang Mo Kio are harder to type rapidly than expected.

4. XMM mode
This recreates the hyper-abbreviated typing style of some local youth, where vowels are very much optional, and messages may be hard to decipher.

5. Vulgar mode
Adults can have a good laugh playing this uncensored category featuring actual Hokkien swear words.

You can also challenge your friends through custom links, with custom-built phrases.

A glossary of the Singlish terms will also be shown on your final results page, explaining each of the words and phrases that appeared during the test.

2. Word-leh!

Play Wordle with Singlish vocabulary

Wordle meets Singaporean vocabulary in this game of word-identifying. In Word-leh!, you have 6 chances daily to identify a 5-letter Singlish word of the day. Tiles turn green when the letter you have entered is in the correct position, and yellow when the letter exists in the answer but is in the wrong position. The game accepts regular English words as guesses, although the final answer is always a Singlish word – past answers have included words like makan and bojio.

This game is suitable for people who prefer a quick play over a long session. You can even try a 6-letter mode if you are feeling up for a bigger challenge.

Play Word-leh!.

3. LIM SIMI?

Decode increasingly complicated kopi orders

Singaporeans who love ordering your customised kopi and teh, this one’s for you.

LIM SIMI? is a puzzle game where players work behind a virtual kopitiam counter, tapping on ingredients to prepare drinks before the timer runs out.

One session of the game includes 5 playing rounds, where you’ll have to interpret the drink order and build the corresponding local beverage. This game tests whether you quickly understand combinations involving kopi, teh, and their plethora of modifiers.

At the end, you will receive a stamped rank such as “Kopi King” or “Teh Expert”.

4. MRT Guessr

Pinpoint stations on an unlabelled MRT map

The majority of us take the MRT every day, often staring at the MRT map and counting the number of stations left to our destination during our commute. But how good are you really at recognising the stations when all their names have been removed from the map?

MRT Guessr is your answer to just that. In this game, you’ll have to pinpoint the locations of stations on an unlabelled MRT map, using one of the 5 game modes:

1. Daily Challenge
Locate 5 predetermined stations in 3 attempts. Hints will appear with every wrong guess, so even if you’re stumped at first, you’ll have a fighting chance of piecing together the answer.

2. Quickplay
Similar to the Daily Challenge, but playable repeatedly.

3. Multiplayer
Identify 10 stations, and compete with other players through a shared lobby and leaderboard.

4. Singapore Tour
Attempt to identify every MRT station.

5. Speed Run
Locate 5 stations as quickly as possible, with a 5-second penalty for wrong answers.

There’s even a multiplayer mode for you to challenge your loved ones during family and friend gatherings.

Play MRT Guessr.

5. Geodle

Find a mystery MRT station or school

If you think you’re steady at guessing locations, put it to the test with Geodle.

You’ll be given a hidden Singapore location and have up to 6 guesses to figure out where it is. After each attempt, the game tells you how far your guess is from the actual answer and points you in the right direction, helping you slowly narrow it down. There are 2 versions to choose from, one featuring MRT and LRT stations, and the other featuring local schools.

Unlike MRT Guessr, where you click on an MRT rail map, this game relies entirely on your knowledge of Singapore’s geography. You’ll have to estimate where stations or schools are in relation to one another, making it a real test of your spatial awareness.

We played the game and think that the mode with schools was definitely the bigger challenge, as you may not be familiar with schools other than the ones around your neighbourhood. You can also combine both versions into one entry, and start with your home location as your 1st guess to see if it helps.

Play Geodle.

6. GeoGuessr Singapore

Recognise locations through street view

For those whose strengths lie in visual recognition, GeoGuessr Singapore might be more up your alley. It is a geography recognition game that challenges players to identify locations using visual clues.

The game drops you into a random Singapore street view location, with just a tight 3 minutes to guess where you are. You can explore the surroundings by dragging and dropping your cursor, and zooming in and out using the sidebar. When you’re ready to make a guess, all you have to do is place a pin on the Singapore map.

Our tip is to look for any road signs, block numbers, bus stops, MRT stations, or recognisable buildings in the vicinity to locate yourself. We realised that many residential estates look more similar than we thought, so this will be a fun one for those who like to sleuth out answers from little clues and hints.

GeoGuessr’s main difference from Geodle is that it gives you a full visual environment rather than just distance and directional clues. Currently, the site lists 3,440 locations and the game has been played more than 423,000 times. Do note that you need an account to play and that after one game, you will be prompted to sign up for a paid package.

7. Sporcle’s Singapore quizzes

Attempt Singapore trivia quizzes

When you have more time to spare, try out Sporcle’s Singapore quizzes, a collection of almost 300 quizzes on local geography, transport, languages, landmarks, and general knowledge. Some of these are timed quizzes requiring you to type as many correct answers as possible within a timeframe, while others are MCQs, maps, or word puzzles.

Some of the popular quizzes on Sporcle include 5:1 Singapore, The Singapore Quiz, and 40 Landmarks: Singapore. For those who can’t get enough of MRT-themed games, there are also the MRT Stations of Singapore and Fill the Singapore MRT Map quizzes.

8. SG Explorer

Roll your way through 20 Singapore locations

You can play a localised game similar to Monopoly with SG Explorer, a virtual board game that combines sightseeing with local trivia.

Players roll a virtual die, moving their token around a Singapore-themed board with 20 locations, and answering over 40 quiz questions as they go. You’ll have 15 seconds to answer each question, drawing from your knowledge of local architecture, geography, neighbourhoods, and history.

We tried the game out ourselves and learnt a lot, so we would consider this one of the more educational games on the list that you might want to introduce your younger ones to.

The play time is roughly 10 minutes with no registration required, and listed game rankings run from “First-Timer” to “True Local”.

Play SG Explorer.

9. Train to Bishan

Survive seat-snatchers & MRT breakdowns

Screenshot from: Train to Bishan

An ordinary journey on the North-South Line from City Hall to Bishan turns into a series of exaggerated commuter problems in Train to Bishan, a chaotic survival challenge. Created for the Singapore Stupid Hacks hackathon, this browser game exaggerates minor public transport inconveniences for comedic effect.

Players have to contend with familiar commuter struggles – from rushing for an empty seat to an auntie asking you to give up your spot and navigating MRT breakdowns. Some events can even be custom-adjusted before starting, letting you increase the frequency of breakdowns or seat-snatchers if your usual commute is too calm.

Train to Bishan is best played on a phone held upright, to add to the illusion of you standing in a train. Unlike the other games listed, this game tests your reaction speed and survival instincts.

Play Train to Bishan.

10. Train to Yishun

Fight through an overrun MRT carriage

Screenshot from: Train to Yishun

In Train to Yishun, a game submitted for Global Game Jam Singapore 2026, you’ll find out what happens when an MRT commute to Yishun gets overrun by supernatural entities.

This action-survival game places you aboard an MRT train bound for Yishun, hijacked by supernatural creatures, and you have nothing but an N95 mask at your disposal. Described by the creators as closer to a walking simulator, Train to Yishun was largely produced within 48 hours and still officially marked “in development” – so expect some unfinished elements, as well as bugs here and there.

In-game, you can recruit fellow passengers to defend the carriage and improve your chances of surviving the journey. Use the WASD keys to move through the train, interact with passengers, and explore the increasingly chaotic carriages as you journey towards Yishun.

Since the game is still in development, the current version is relatively short and may feel more like an atmospheric prototype than a fully-fledged survival game, but its eerie MRT setting makes it worth trying for the novelty alone.

Play Train to Yishun.
