Pokémon Experience Lounge at T3

This is the place for players rather than photo hunters. Sessions are short, small and free, but you need to book.

What you can book

• A 20-minute Pokopia demo, five players at a time.
• A 20-minute Pokémon Champions demo, four players at a time. Not on selected Saturdays.
• A 30-minute trading card game lesson for up to 16 people. You get a Fun Pack when you finish.
• Tournaments on selected Saturdays at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm. For Champions, bring your own charged and updated Switch or Switch 2. For the card game, bring a sleeved 60-card Standard deck.

Booking rules

• Book on Playpass in the Changi App, up to seven days ahead. One pass per person per slot.
• Check in at the counter at least five minutes before your slot. Late arrivals lose their slot.
• Children 12 and under need an adult with them at registration, and a parent or guardian must book for anyone under 18.

The lounge is in the public part of the Departure Hall, so you don't need a boarding pass, even though one Changi page tags it as transit. The festive village page also lists it as "open 24 hours", but the lounge page says 12pm to 9pm, which is what we use.
