The game also comes with quests you can complete which will earn you real-life prizes like bubble tea and Grab vouchers.

At the 2024 New Year’s Pub Crawl, you’ll head to 4 different watering holes via a party bus, so the party never stops even while in transit. There’ll even be free shots and bubbly as you usher in the new year.
Each stop gains you VIP entry and a free alcoholic beverage. If you’re hankering for more, you’ll get exclusive deals on drinks at each location too.

If you don’t want to be tied down to one place, then head over to Spectrum 2024, the Clarke Quay NYE countdown party. Dance the night away to the spins of YANG Club’s resident DJ Kaylova and tunes of local singer Benjamin Kheng. There’ll even be a live graffiti session at Block B.
