Dear Agents,
 
Sometimes, things are hidden in plain sight and we miss them because we take things for granted. Can you identify what TYPE of building these are? (Clue: all of them belong to the same category, e.g. ‘Schools’).

Dear Agents,
 
Old maps would show lots of cemetaries all over Singapore, but we are not sure if this would even show up on those maps since the modern day Parsees have all but forgotten about this place. An archaeologist once told me that Raffles once imposed capital punishment on someone nearby for stabbing one of his men. Can you find the name of this little hill and the Chinese temple located at the foot of this hill?

Heritage
 
 
Dear Agents,
 
‘Ships of the line’ refer to warships constructed in the 17th to 19th centuries which utilised the ‘line of battle’ tactic where opposing fleets bombarded each  other with broadsides. In the case of this mission, the “line” represents a missing ship’s name. Can you identify the two missing ships?

Dear Agents,

People tend to see what they want to see, and in some instances, this behaviour can be quite contagious.
 
Hint: We are not looking for live monkeys, so please don’t go the Zoo …
