Zone 1: Infiltrating The Heart of the Sanctum
You are an avid urban explorer who has received an email from a fellow explorer who has gone missing! His email reports a disturbing development – an ancient cult of unknown origin has infiltrated Haw Par Villa, setting up a full-fledged headquarters in an abandoned building in the park.
Why has the cult come to Haw Par Villa? How is the history of the park intertwined with that of the ancient cult? And what does your fellow explorer mean when he warns you to beware of “Asian horror of horrors”?
All your instincts scream at you to walk away, but you know what you must do – suppress your survival instincts and Infiltrate The Heart of The Sanctum in Zone 1!

Zone 2: The Villa Has Eyes II
It has been one year since you, a rookie detective, helped solve the 80-year-old cold case murder of Lim Ah Leong, business partner of the Aw brothers – the story in The Villa Has Eyes from last year’s Haw Ror Villa 3!.
Now, one year later, you return for the thrilling sequel, The Villa Has Eyes II, in Zone 2!
The daughter of one of the suspects in last year’s murder case has revealed that her mother was a member of an ancient cult – the one haunting Haw Par Villa today.
The Cult Leader lurked somewhere in the Aw family household, and continues to pull the strings in the present. To find out who the Cult Leader is, you have no choice but to head back to Haw Par Villa on a dark and spooky night – to interrogate the spirits of the past again!

Zone 3: The Forbidden Ritual: The Search for Hellbound Totems
You are a bereaved husband, whose life was turned upside down upon receiving a letter – not only did it mention your long-deceased wife, but it promised something unthinkable: A way to descend into Hell… and see her once more.
The terrifying yet enticing promise was made by the ancient cult based in Haw Par Villa. It has shown you a path to your wife – perform a forbidden ritual to tear open a portal to the infamous 10 Courts of Hell.
Are you able to find all the sacred totems to open the portal, or will your beloved wife’s soul be judged and cast away forever? Zone 3 will test your wits and puzzle-hunting skills – and your ability to dodge the spirits of Hell!
2. Lie in a real Coffin and Experience "Rebirth"
Jump into a real coffin and contemplate death in our Rebirthing Experience Room – Inspired by Thai and Korean traditions of lying in a coffin during a ritual to purge bad karma and welcome in a good life ahead.
3. Exhibition on Hungry Ghosts
An insightful exhibition on Hungry Ghosts and the traditions practiced. Be awe-inspired by detailed paper exhibits created by a pillar of the paper offering industry, Yeo Swee Huat Paper Agency and a newly launched gallery at the Rise of Asia Museum (RoAM), Tracing the Karmic Connection – Syncretic Origins of the 7th Lunar Month.
