Download the app ‘Questeon’ and find yourself playing the role of Officer Cadet Tan SB from HQ 1st SIB, an accidental time traveller who found himself time-travelled from the year 1968 to modern times. Armed only with a faded aerial map of the South Beach Camp (1967) and a cryptic X, familiar landmarks appear strangely transformed.

Being a member of the inaugural batch of the SAF Training Institute officers at Beach Road Camp, can OCT Tan draw on his memories of his training grounds to decipher the secrets hidden within these architectural wonders?

Playing the role of OCT Tan, complete a series of challenges, each one unlocking a piece of the puzzle. Will you crack the code and find your way back to 1968, or are you forever stranded in this dazzling present?
