From sleek smartphones to laptops, technology is inextricably linked to our daily lives today. But what came before these gadgets, and how did life look like then?

Get a glimpse of this era that predates smart devices in the National Museum of Singapore’s latest experiential showcase, Off / On: Everyday Technology that Changed Our Lives, 1970s–2000s, and be transported back to a time where gadgets such as pagers, payphones and typewriters were among the technologies that were widely used.

Off / On also transforms into an escape room at night, where visitors can pre-register in groups of minimally three and up to 10 participants each time, to explore the showcase space through the popular and interactive format of an escape room game.

Participants will “journey” through time in the gallery to decipher clues that will help uncover a secret technological device that can help prevent a mass shutdown of the world’s technology.

The exhibition will run till Oct 30. It is located at the Exhibition Gallery, Basement Level.
