Hello!
Starting from 9/19 (Tuesday) at Realworld Seongsu,
we're running the Play Seongsu program as part of
the September Seoul Festival Creative X Seongsu Festival.
Creative X Seongsu is
the September Seoul Festival packed with
various entertainment including CT Fair by companies
leading future creative industries through advanced cultural technology,
various cultural conferences,
art exhibitions, craft flea markets, fashion shows, and more.
For the Play Seongsu program at Creative X Seongsu,
a new game called <Alien Capture Operation!> has opened.
<New Shoes> and <Detective Notes The Kit>
are games I've played before,
but <Alien Capture Operation!> is completely new to me,
so I was really excited about it.
So I personally participated in Play Seongsu
and wrote this review!

First, you purchase the 3-game set
at Realworld Seongsu 1st floor
and get explanations from the staff.
I had the Realworld app pre-installed,
so I could start playing right away!
I started with Alien Capture Operation first,
which came with a game kit and tickets.
Starting from Realworld Seongsu, you walk around the neighborhood
solving problems using the kit and Realworld app.
The story involves capturing aliens at the festival,
with adorable and charming characters welcoming you!
Starting from Realworld Seongsu,
clues are hidden in surrounding buildings,
so you progress through the game while moving around.
Playing the game while exploring the Seongsu area
made it even more exciting.
It was particularly amazing how they could create
a game using paths I mindlessly walk by every day.
I found aliens hidden in cafe menus
and could even communicate with aliens through the kit!
There were also puzzles where you had to
collect items by finding and tagging
NFC marks hidden here and there.
There were interactive parts using the game kit,
the story was really good with many thought-provoking elements,
so I had a rewarding time!
It took me about 40-50 minutes!
(Actually, I used hints a few times because it was difficult😅)
TIP! Since it's a game you play while walking outside,
you need to start before it gets dark!
Next, I played
Challenge Detective Notes The Kit: Author Death Case.
I can't share details due to spoilers,
but it was a game where you uncover the truth
about an author's death using board game cards and the app.
You can play in this Detective Notes game zone,
and a staff member comes to set up for 15 minutes!
You familiarize yourself with the game within 15 minutes
and solve problems by inputting numbers
written on cards into the app.
The difficulty was somewhat easy, but it took me about 12 minutes.
Other people might spend more time understanding the game,
so it really felt like a challenge!
You had to carefully read and remember
all the dialogue on the cards and in the app!
It really felt like questioning suspects
and conducting an investigation.
This is a festival-modified version of the game,
but if you want to enjoy more,
I recommend purchasing the Detective Notes The Kit board game!
Next was
New Shoes!
It's a game that starts at Realworld Seongsu
and progresses while exploring the Seongsu-dong area.
I've played it before,
but it was fun to play again!
First, I cleared initial missions
at Realworld Seongsu 1st and 2nd floors,
then moved to Seongsu Station for the next missions.
I entered spaces I always passed by on my way to work
to solve problems,
and also visited the Seongsu Handmade Shoes Hope Platform.
Based on the Cinderella story,
you explore Seongsu-dong
to remake broken glass slippers.
I learned that Seongsu-dong was famous for handmade shoes
and discovered the history of Seongsu-dong,
making it an entertaining and educational experience.
My recommended course is
Alien Capture Operation!
↓
Challenge Detective Notes The Kit
↓
New Shoes
I recommend playing in this order.
With daily events limited to the first 100 visitors,
please come quickly to Realworld Seongsu before the 24th
and have a wonderful time!
See you at Realworld Seongsu~~
