Congrats to the Voted King and Queen of Cosplay Masquerade 2025!!!!

King
Queen

Look at their breathtaking cosplays, recognised by many masquerade attendees.

King and Queen of Cosplay masquerade each year are determined by votes on the night. Every attendee gets one king vote and one queen vote token, where they get to give to whom they believe should be crowned King and Queen. The winners of king and Queen trophies are determined through an interactive stage activity, where the MC looks for and recognises the individual with most vote tokens on their hands.

SEE YOU ALL TONIGHT!!!!

Online registrations have closed now, but the last minute deciders can still get tickets at entry!!

Who will take home the Magical Masquerade King and Queen trophies this year? 👀👀
These trophies are now upgraded to be made of metal, which means they're more durable and have better texture. (They're real heavy though!!)
Similar to last year, the King and Queen trophies are a measure of popularity! All attendees will be given a king token and queen token. If you saw someone fitting to be King/Queen of the night (all staff members included), give them the corresponding token! The individuals with the most King and Queen tokens shall be crowned King and Queen of Cosplay Masquerade 2025!

After 28th September, we need to limit the types of masks and accessory options due to supply orders. Book your ticket soon if you'd like to choose from the full selection!!

Which is your pick from the Cosplay Masquerade 2025 custom mocktails selection? 👀👀👀👀 Let us know in the comments!!

Here are our reviews from the DPS team:

Snow's pick:
Mad matcha - Snow enjoys dairy drinks and found the strawberry foam cream just the right taste of tanginess.

Ling's pick:
Grinning grapes - Ling craved something citric, this light, low sugar and yoghurt flavour blend is just right!

Sina's pick:
Potion: OFF WITH YOUR DRINK! - Sina found the cranberry and tropical texture surprisingly tasty. Also, "my friends HAVE TO try this :^) "

Flavour notes are written at the bottom of each picture!!

We just can't want to share our 2025 Masquerade invitation design with everyone!

This wondrous design is inspired by the theme of whimsical wonderland, featuring an unusual shaped solid acrylic plate dyed with translucent whimsical colours. It will be packed into an "old-looking" envelope topped with vintage stamps and seals. The design is complete with a gold vintage key — to a secret door somewhere...

For added vibes, they will be sent out to your postal address — where you get to receive and open the enchantment personally!
We can't wait to send them out!!!!
