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.

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?
