... Read moreIf you’re a fan of Starbucks mooncakes or just love Mid-Autumn Festival festivities, this Chinatown Bingo Challenge is your perfect way to celebrate and win big. I took part last year and found the missions super fun and immersive, taking me around iconic spots like Rise Bakehouse, Bullock Cart Coffee, and The Trend Cafe.
Each activity involves snapping photos of local treats, murals, or mascots that represent Singapore’s rich culture—like the rebirth-inspired mural at Starbucks or the unique Malay & Nyonya delicacies at Trend Cafe. It’s a wonderful way to explore Chinatown while engaging with heritage and collecting stamps on your bingo card.
Make sure to follow @chinatown_festivals and the participating brands on Instagram to keep updated and get your Stories reposted, which is essential to get your efforts verified. The freebies are incredibly worthwhile—free drinks at Amacha, $5 to $10 vouchers at favorite cafes, and the prized Starbucks mooncakes are truly delicious. Plus, the interactive social sharing makes it feel like a community event even if you’re celebrating solo.
If you’re bringing family or friends, try the “Remembering Ah Ma” mission by capturing a selfie with your grandmother or a grandmother figure — it added a heartfelt touch to the experience for me. Stock runs out quickly, so plan your visit between 24 Sept to 5 Oct and dive into this unique blend of tradition, coffee culture, and photography fun.
This event is an excellent way to savor Singapore’s local flavors and get insider savings while enjoying the Mid-Autumn vibe. Whether you consider yourself a foodie, a cultural explorer, or simply love free Starbucks mooncakes, this bingo challenge is a great way to make your festival extra special!
