Now, one young man is bringing the latter back to help adults make new friends through a little playground nostalgia. After organising group walks along Singapore’s MRT lines, Trevor, who goes by @trevuh2 on social media, has turned his attention to childhood games, hoping to encourage Singaporeans to step out of their comfort zones and connect with strangers. In a video posted on Oct 8, the 20-year-old said he was inspired to host “Singapore’s largest game of Duck, Duck, Goose” after seeing someone in the US organise the same game. Videos of similar events posted by content creator @tinodoesnyc a month earlier went viral, amassing millions of views on social media. But for Trevor, his efforts are about more than just bringing back nostalgic playground games. > Not everyone wants to join a run club!! > > — Trevor Acknowledging that run clubs and pickleball communities have been bringing Singaporeans together, Trevor noted that not everyone is able to take part in such physically demanding activities. He saw Duck, Duck, Goose as a simpler way for people to connect. “Personally, I think that it’s really hard to make friends in Singapore,” Trevor told Stomp. He believes Singaporeans tend to be conservative when it comes to approaching strangers, with many hesitant to strike up conversations with people they don’t know. “People are not open to just talking to strangers, and everyone’s just a little scared,” Trevor explained. He hopes activities like Duck, Duck, Goose can help break these social barriers by creating a fun and relaxed environment where strangers can interact without the awkwardness of having to introduce themselves. Trevor’s efforts to bring people together began with something he admits he doesn’t particularly enjoy — walking. After his parents repeatedly encouraged him to get out of the house and exercise, he decided misery would love company, and began organising walks along Singapore’s MRT lines. What began as a personal challenge soon became an opportunity to connect people. “I used to think that making friends in Singapore would be really difficult,” he said in the video. “But this has taught me that people are a lot friendlier than I thought.” When everyone had worked up an appetite after the game, he brought the newly formed friend group of 30 people to his friend’s food stall nearby. ## American creator who inspired him takes notice Since the video of his first Duck, Duck, Goose outing was posted, Trevor has gotten the attention of the original creator. “YOOOOO SO DOPE,” tinodoesnyc commented on one of Trevor’s videos. Many also praised Trevor for organising the activity. “So wholesome,” one Instagram user wrote. “Do this again please!” said another. Some also expressed interest in joining Trevor’s next event, asking about details such as the age limit and date. ## ‘Expect more things that break social norms’ While large turnouts might be encouraging, Trevor insists that his events aren’t about popularity. Even if only two people turn up, the activity will still go ahead. For him, helping just one person have a good time is as fulfilling as bringing together a hundred. And Duck, Duck, Goose is only the beginning. Trevor has plans for more social activities, including a costume contest at the end of the month, where participants can dress up, meet new people and have fun. “Expect more things that break social norms,” he said. His ultimate goal is to encourage Singaporeans to be friendlier.
