Planning family time sounds simple, but for many parents it means bouncing between websites, social media groups and event listings just to figure out what activities are available nearby.
At Hack for Public Good, a team set out to change that. PlayTime is a platform that helps parents discover family-friendly activities by recommending options based on a childās age, interests and location. So less searching, more bonding!

Meet the coolest navigation app ever (literally) ā say hello to Undercover š¶
Developed at OGPās Hack for Public Good 2026, Undercover helps you find shaded walking routes on sunny days ā combining geospatial data, shaded pedestrian networks, and dynamic environmental information to plot cooler, more comfortable routes across the island. Itās an early prototype, and weāre refining routes as we go.

What happens to a product after the hackathon ends? During Hack for Public Good, our teams build solutions to problems they care about. Some grow into tools used across Singapore, most don't - but that doesn't mean the work wasn't worthwhile.
When a product enters Limited Release, it stays available to users but is no longer in active development, so we can focus on the work that creates the most impact.
Follow along as we share more of our Limited Release products over the coming weeks š
A few weeks ago at the Seniorsā Festival, our ScamShield and Gov.sg teams met seniors to share tips on spotting scams and verifying government messages.
It was encouraging to see them asking questions, trying out our tools, and discovering that staying safe online can be simpler than they think.
At Open Government Products, we believe in being close to our users, listening to their concerns, and ensuring no one is left behind as technology evolves.

What actually happens after you report a number on ScamShield? š
ScamShield's latest update now sends you a push notification the moment a number you flagged is verified as a scam. That number then gets added to our blocklist, protecting every ScamShield user in Singapore.
This feature was built on feedback from users like you and it's part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Singapore safe from scams.

Chances are, youāve used a government website that Shazli helped make possible š
Meet Shazli, Senior Product Operations Specialist at OGP. While our designers and engineers build the products, Shazli and his team make sure those products actually succeed once theyāre out in the world. This could look like onboarding agencies, supporting users, and translating real needs back to the product team.

Building tech for public good is one part of what we do at OGP, but showing how weāre actually doing matters just as much. š
Every product we build comes with a report card that we update quarterly. It covers the team behind it, the costs, and how itās being used by Singaporeans. Through these reports, we aim to stay transparent about our progress.
