Could your next Watsons shopping trip end with you taking home a 10-gram gold bar? That is the main attraction at Watsons Shopathon Mania Fest, a week-long retail event taking place at Compass One from 22 to 28 June 2026.
The festival brings together more than 60 beauty, health and wellness brands, discounts of up to 70 per cent, interactive games and over 7,000 prizes worth a combined $100,000.
What to expect at Watsons Shopathon Mania Fest
Watsons Shopathon Mania Fest is held at the Level 2 Atrium of Compass One and runs daily from 10 am to 10 pm. Its central location also makes it convenient for families travelling by public transport during the busy June school holiday period.
It forms part of Watsons’ 185 Years of Smiles celebration and is designed around a simple idea: shop more, play more and win more.
Shoppers can explore products from familiar names such as Cetaphil, CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, Oral-B, Sensodyne, GNC, Swisse, Anessa and Watsons Collection. Fans of Korean beauty can also look out for brands including Torriden, Biodance, Beauty of Joseon and Celladix.
How to play and win prizes
Every $50 nett spent at the festival gives shoppers one chance to join any of three game challenges.
The main attraction is The Great Watsons Blind Box Showdown. There are 185 mystery boxes, each containing a prize. Rewards include Watsons gift cards, shopping vouchers and product giveaways.
One box also hides a 10-gram gold bar each day. This Watsons gold bar giveaway gives one shopper a daily chance to strike gold, while every participant still receives a prize from the mystery box challenge.
The second activity, The Ultimate Stack and Glow Up, tests speed and coordination. Players must recreate a product stack before time runs out. Even those who do not complete the challenge will receive a consolation prize.
The third game is the Digital Joypot. Players pull a digital lever and try to match three identical logos. Successful matches unlock instant treats, but participants will not leave empty-handed even when the logos do not line up.
Goodie bags and hourly deals
The rewards change depending on the day you visit. From 22 to 24 June, shoppers who spend at least $50 can receive a goodie bag worth $70, while stocks last.
From 25 to 28 June, the same $70 goodie bag is available with a minimum spend of $70.
The beauty sale Singapore shoppers may find most exciting happens through the hourly specials. From 12.30pm to 6.30pm daily between 25 and 28 June, selected products will receive additional discounts of up to 33 per cent on top of existing promotions.
Different offers will appear every hour across participating brands. There will also be live-hosted promotions, limited-quantity flash deals, festival bundles, gifts with purchase and surprise giveaways throughout the day.
Up to 70 per cent off more than 60 brands
Across the full festival period, shoppers can enjoy savings of up to 70 per cent on selected items from more than 60 brands. There are also buy-one-get-one-free deals involving names such as Rejuran, Round Lab, SKIN1004, Medicube, Some By Mi and HASK.
ShopBack users may receive up to $99 cashback with a minimum spend of $30. New ShopBack users can also redeem a $6 promotional code with a minimum spend of $6, subject to the stated conditions.
Selected OCBC cardholders can receive additional benefits. The OCBC 365 Card offers 3 per cent cashback, while the OCBC Rewards Card awards 15 OCBC$ for every S$1 spent.
Is this Compass One event worth visiting?
For parents, the games can make a routine shopping trip more entertaining. For beauty fans, the combination of festival prices, hourly specials and gifts may offer a good opportunity to stock up.
Still, it is worth shopping with a list. A discount only saves money when the product is something your family already uses or genuinely needs. Check prices, compare bundle sizes and pay attention to minimum-spend requirements before joining a promotion.
Those unable to visit Compass One can still find Watsons promotional offers at stores nationwide and through Watsons Online from 22 June to 22 July 2026. However, the games, daily gold bar prize and on-site activities are exclusive reasons to visit the festival itself.
Plan your visit before the festival ends
Watsons Shopathon Mania Fest combines shopping deals with games, prizes and family-friendly entertainment in one location. The strongest reasons to go are the discounts, the $70 goodie bag, the hourly specials and the chance to win a gold bar.
The festival ends on 28 June 2026, so plan your visit around the deals that matter most to you. Would you choose a mystery box, test your stacking skills or try your luck at the Digital Joypot first?
